Maintenance
- What Silver Creek Property Management does to keep maintenance costs under control:
- We do not have an in-house maintenance company, opting instead to utilize independent contractors
- Estimates are obtained and presented for owner approval on all repairs in excess of $300
- All repair persons are instructed to document directly on their bills if any repair is caused by tenant negligence or abuse, so that tenants may be held responsible for needless damage
- Numerous maintenance issues are detailed in the lease in the hopes of avoiding a repair in the first place
- Our online Tenant Support page provides thorough maintenance instructions, recommendations and access to our 24 hour emergency text message system
- Many common problems are easily handled over the telephone without ever having to involve a repair person
Property Evaluations
Drive-by evaluations are performed regularly. We also generate a complete digital photographic record of the property at each interior/exterior evaluation.
General interior/exterior inspections are conducted:
- When we take over management
- When we move tenants in and out
- At least annually thereafter
Among other things, we check:
- Smoke alarms
- Grout/caulk
- Window glass and screens
- Kitchen and bathroom plumbing
- Etc...
- If a problem is found to exist, we can quickly implement corrective action. Through this policy, we feel that unnecessary
repair expenses can often be diminished or eliminated.
Advantages
- No start-up fee
- No charge for our services until the property is first rented-we don’t get paid until you get paid!
- No charge for any of our inspections, photographs, reports, etc.
- No Tenant placement fees
- No mark-up or service fees on invoices, nor do we accept rebates or kick-backs
Our Fees
Silver Creek Property Management charges only a percentage of collected rents for fulltime property management. This rate is the same regardless if your property is a single family home or a condo/townhouse.
Property management doesn’t cost, it pays $$$
