Kudos to My Property Manager
July 7th, 2008 by KenricI used berate my PM alot on here. In fact, since I’ve posted about my PM back in 2006 and 2007 they have improved greatly. When I first hired them, they were a small 2 person mom and son operation. In the past 2 years they have expanded to as far as I can tell at least 7 employees. I don’t have communication problems anymore, I get my rent through direct deposit, I get monthly statements emailed to me, emails are answered quickly and most of all, I get regular updates.
The amount of work they’ve done for me in the past year makes me the monthly fee seem like a bargain.
One of my SLC townhomes was rented starting July 2nd. It was rented at $1250/mo which includes the $100/mo for installing a fridge, washer and dryer. The cost for the appliances came out to $1,080 including taxes, delivery and install. So in about 11 months the appliance will be paid for. I gave my PM a price range for all appliances and she went out and purchased them, had them delivered and installed.
On my 2nd SLC townhome there was a leak where the toilet attaches to the floor. Unfortunately, the bathrooms are carpeted! Yes, the builder offered carpeted bathrooms as standard and when I bought these I couldn’t change these options. The toilet leak made it necessary for me to replace the carpet in the bathrooms. I am going to replace it with either vinyl flooring or tile depending on the price. My PM has is getting bids on both options.
Just imagine how much time that would have taken me to coordinate. I know that this is what a PM is supposed to do. But how often is it that smooth? It’s been going this way for over a year now. So kudos to my Salt Lake City property managers - CDA Properties. Notice the beneficial anchor text? ;)
In the meantime, the 2nd SLC townhome has a rental application on it so I’m hoping to get it filled this month.
