10 Reasons To Confirm You've Made a Good Decision
I. Low Rates – High Output
If you were a previous client of mine, or a referral from a real estate business partner, you are enjoying stabilized property management rates. Most property management companies are charging the average 10% rate with incremental increases over a period of time. We have not raised rates in more than 5 years which is an indirect benefit to you and your bottom line.
II. Low Vacancies
We have an internal business goal of turning over our properties within 60 days. What does that mean to you? You have peace of mind knowing that your property is not sitting vacant; being susceptible to theft, vandalism, or neglect.
III. Happy Tenants
Happy Tenants Stay or Get Frustrated and Move Away! That's our property management nursery rhyme. Trust me, if your tenants weren't being properly serviced, being treated with courtesy and respect, they would move ---and rightfully so. Most of our tenants have renewed at least once which is 24 months of stabilized income for the majority of our properties.
IV. Conflict Resolutions
Occasionally we have disputes with tenants that need intervention. You can enjoy your vacation or Sunday afternoon knowing that your property manager is resolving issues that come up.
V. Contractor Cost Savings Passed Onto you
From carpentry work, masonry, landscaping , plumbing , and HVAC , we do business with other local small business owners. We have a good relationship with our vendors and because of our repeat business - we obtain fair and reasonable pricing. We past those cost savings onto you. Many of you call us for a recommendation when you want to do home improvements or renovations which demonstrate you trust the vendors we recommend. However , the contractors we recommend are independent of our company and we make no expressed or implied warranty or their workmanship or quality of work. We always encourage you to conduct market research for price comparison and reviews.
VI. No Foreclosures
As of today, we have not had a landlord who needed to surrender their property and go into foreclosure. It is a very real possibility that the financial strain on a family can cause them to make dire decisions. I am proud to say that all -----absolutely all of our properties – generate enough rental income that allow our landlords to profit or meet their mortgage needs.
VII. Systems Oriented Business
We have a systems oriented business model to accommodate both our tenants and landlords. Very seldom do our clients have to come to the office to pick up or drop off anything because we are systems oriented. All of our files are stored electronically and can be accessed 24/7. Digital signatures, rental payments and rental disbursements are all automated. Maintenance requests can be submitted online and through our "new" maintenance service hotline 24/7. This is a big deal to the overseas landlord and /or the tenant who will be in the field for 30 days; or for the times you're on vacation ….life can go on knowing that your property management company can take care of your issues as they arise without needing you to be physically present .
VIII. External Company Referrals
We have great relationships with other property management companies, Realtors, and other business owners. We get a lot of referrals from Realtors outside of our company who know that "Shanell will take care of you". That's a compliment for our business. Although they have other choices, they pick up the phone to call on my company to help their clients, family members and friends.
IX. You can go on with life
We service landlords who, for whatever reason, have to move. They trust our company to take care of their property in their absence. We also have landlords who live locally and can confirm that their property is being handled properly. Currently we have landlords who live in Texas, Virginia, Washington DC, South Carolina, Korea, and Afghanistan, to name a few. That's a complement to our business because again, they trust us to take care of their property in their absence.
X. You're Supporting a Local Small Business
When you do business with Watson Properties, your small business outreach is multiplied because we do business with other small local businesses that help our community thrive.
