From Listing Through Tenant Relations, 4 Ways to Make Your Property Management Journey Easier

Appfolio Websites • November 9, 2020

Let's save some time and money, folks.

Time and money: Two things everyone wishes they had more of.

Here at Arlington Realty Property Management, we are always looking for (and sharing!) insight to make property managers’ lives that much easier. 

So, for this week, we’re digging into a few of the things that are core to our platinum level of service. If you are an owner and sign on with Arlington Realty Property Management, these services (and many more!) come at no additional fee.

Throughout our decades in the biz, we’ve learned that these four touch points (among others) have been integral in saving our owners time and money:

1) A pristine listing. We want to snag your prospective tenant from first sight. And, to draw them in, our listings include professional photography, a video tour and a detailed description. If you slack on any of the aforementioned, it can equate to lost opportunities and your listing sitting out there that much longer. We don’t want that and neither do you!

2) Annual and semi-annual 100-point inspections. Everything may be perfectly rosy at a property for months or years at a time. But, you must stay proactive. Inspections mitigate the chance of smaller problems becoming major headaches down the line.

3) Licensed and insured providers. Ooooof, we’ve seen it time and time again. A property manager will trust a “friend” to get something done, they end up not being licensed and/or insured, something wrong happens and then, bam, it’s a legal nightmare. You won’t ever have to worry about that with us as we solely work with licensed and insured professionals for anything dealing with your property.

4) Intuitive statements and seamless payments. We keep our statements simple – yet detailed where needed – and have a secure online payment system that deposits directly into owners’ accounts each month. Easy peasy.
