Green Ocean Property Management has been in the industry for over four decades. One of the main reasons the company was founded is to provide our clients and our landlords with a higher level of valuable service above what else is out there. You might be thinking that as a property management company, we may be biased in giving you reasons to hire a property manager. But hear us out, as the following are some points of what makes a property manager valuable.
#1 We screen tenant-applicants so you don’t end up having bad residents
Bad property managers just put in anybody they want because they want the commission. They make a one-month commission from you just because the tenant-applicant “seemed nice.” Being a nice person isn’t good enough. A good property manager would want to make sure that the tenants are qualified.
Because if you end up having bad tenants, such as the kind that doesn’t pay rent, you have to bring them to court. That will end up costing you more money than having that property vacant. You want to avoid that at all costs, so make sure that you have a property manager that puts qualified people into your unit.
#2 We solve the maintenance problems for you
A good property manager has connections with reliable vendors that can show up, get the job done, and save you money. At Green Ocean Property Management, one of our biggest skills is that we are also a general contractor. That means we can do everything from small repairs to major renovations.
Having a good property manager is about quickness because your tenants are complaining about your property being damaged. Half of our time in the field is troubleshooting and solving problems. Our decades’ worth of experience allows us to solve your problems quickly. For example, when there’s a leak, we know where it is from. Usually, you need to hire an outside vendor company to provide a report, and they might not even solve the problem. But we get to solve it almost the same day, almost 99% of the time. We also have a 24/7 staffed maintenance line.
#3 We keep you informed and your records updated
Does your property manager let you know what’s going on? Do they have technology in place to let you see all your financials,? What about all the maintenance work that is underway? Is every single email responded to within four hours or less? Imagine having a property manager that you can’t reach on the phone or runs around responding with “What’s going on? Oh, let me check, let me get back to you.” You don’t want that. For someone who is in charge of your property, you want one who is proactive and responsive: that’s what we are all about at Green Ocean Property Management.
We use technology to track everything and make sure that we have constant communication and that you have clarity of what’s going on with your property. For coordinating maintenance work, we use Property Meld. Asana is our project management software to organize, track, and manage the work of our teams. For the most detailed property inspections, we use zInspector. Landlords also have their owner’s portal that allows them to manage their accounts in just a few clicks. Even tenants have their own portal where they can make payments or request services.
Our commitment
If you are looking for a valuable property manager to help you add value to your life by giving you back your time, solving your issues without having to worry day to day, and communicating extremely well, please think of Green Ocean Property Management: where you get more than a property manager, you get peace of mind.
