When initially taking a new property into our inventory I encourage owners to have a basic home inspection, this will bring to light any safety issues that need to be addressed prior to placing a tenant. We have contracted with a local home inspection company to perform this at a reasonable cost to our clients. They are strictly home inspectors, they will provide you with a copy of the inspection and recommend that you contact us regarding repairs or safety issues that need addressing.

For maintenance issues over $250.00 we will call you for authorization. If it is an emergency situation, such as hot water heater needing to be replaced or a furnace needing replacement we will go ahead with making the necessary repairs, of course we will notify you with an update on the occurrence.

We always keep a minimum of $500.00 in your owners reserve account to cover any maintenance cost that may occur.

We only work with vendors who are fully licensed and insured. They also offer us competitive pricing and are quick to respond to our maintenance issues.
