Many folks are finding themselves spending a bit more time in their homes these days.
And with that time, some spring cleaning has surely kicked into high gear.
As we tackle the cobwebs that built up through the winter, de-clutter our living spaces and get our own homes as a sparkly-clean as possible, let’s not forget to spring clean our property management approach.
Here are a few touch points you’ll certainly want to hit on your property-management to-do list this spring:
1) HVAC service and repairs. Virginia can certainly be known for its frigid winters and uber-hot summers. And before the sweltering heat arrives and a property’s HVAC system potentially fails, it’s time to give that system a check. By staying proactive in your HVAC repairs, you can keep your tenants cool (and happy). No one – you and your tenants certainly included – want to deal with a failing A/C system in the heart of summer, if at all possible.
2) Property inspection. Yes, this can be difficult to do in the heart of a pandemic. But, at a mutually agreeable time and, most importantly, when safe, it’s a great time to see how your roof held up through the winter and check-in on any existing or prospective plumbing issues.
3) A friendly hello. Particularly during these weird and wacky times – and especially if you haven’t already – what a wonderful time it is to simply say “hi” and “I’m here for you.” If some rules, regulations and obligations have visibly laxed, it’s a great time to remind your tenants of what’s expected. And, if these check-ins or any of your spring cleaning tasks have become too much to handle, it’s beyond time to turn to a trusted property management company.
