Communication
Constant Communication with Owners – We keep Owners up to date, and informed at all times. In addition to monthly reports, we fax, phone, SMS or e-mail with important information about your property. Although we are often out of the office due to the nature of our work, all property managers carry smart phones and are on email / SMS at all times. You will always be contacted back within a 12-24 hour turnaround usually within a hour or so. We are always available to discuss your property or other issues you may encounter.
Maintenance
It makes good business sense to handle repairs quickly and match the skill level needed to the job required so it gets done right the first time. We maintain courteous professional relationships with our tradespeople and pay them promptly. If a trades person does not meet our quality or ethical standards, they will be dropped from our accepted list. We do not use employees, family of employees, or close friends of employees as tradespeople. We do not accept rebates, free services or compensation from tradespeople in exchange for the use of their services for our client’s properties. We don’t ignore repairs as this leads to more expensive problems in the future.
We check general condition of the property, discuss maintenance items with the tenant, check for unauthorised pets, occupants or alterations, and discuss the tenant’s future occupancy plans. Once a year (Usually in the middle of the lease) we will send you a full report and photos of your property to show you how well the tenant has settled in and to make you feel “at home” with your property.
Technology
We use state of the art technology such as computers, internet, mobiles, e-mail and fax machines to provide you with unparalleled service in today’s fast changing technological world.
