One of the most important differences between our property management company and others is the fact that we have on staff maintenance. What does that mean to our clients?
Cost savings mean more money in your pocket.
We’re able to figure out how fast our guys do work and more importantly we’re able to get this work quickly and on time.
Our guys show up on our schedule, rather than some other vendor, that says, “Hey, I’ll, be there on a Tuesday, maybe,” They have to quote out money and then they’re doing it as their sole job. We don’t. Our job is to be a property manager for you and to make you as much money as possible.
How does our team exceed your expectations
We set hourly rates and we know based upon the amount of time it will take our guys to make these repairs, how much it’s going to cost you and it’s usually significantly less than if you weren’t out and did a subcontractor. In addition, when you have a subcontractor, you never know if they have insurance.
If something happens, we’ll make sure that it’s taken care of and that you’re protected. But most importantly, you’re going to know that a vendor will show up and do good work because these are the guys that are our staff, and we’re never going to charge you for work that’s done improperly. If it ever does happen, (which is very unlikely) we make sure that our guys take photos of the work after they complete it. You can see this at any time on your maintenance portal.
If you or anyone else, you know is looking for a proactive property manager that has on staff guys, not just subcontractors please think of Green Ocean Property Management, where you get more than a property manager, you get peace of mind.
