ENSURE YOU\u2019RE CALLING THE RIGHT TYPE OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY<\/span><\/h2>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
With brand recognition across five states, our phones ring often with people \u201cinterested in property management\u201d and looking to learn more. We love learning more about your properties and seeking out how we can help you solve your rental property issue, but occasionally we get calls from people looking for something different altogether. Unfortunately, in our effort to be the best at what we do, we can\u2019t help everyone, so let\u2019s tease out the three different areas of need that callers are looking for.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
LEARN MORE:\u00a0<\/em>4 REASONS WHY SHORT TERM RENTALS ARE NOT A STRONG LONG TERM STRATEGY<\/em><\/a><\/h4>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
1) HOA MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\nHomeowners Associations call frequently\u2026and each and every time we have a disappointing response for them. This just isn\u2019t the brand of property management we do. Nexus prides itself on managing individual properties for our clients. We think of it this way: If you own a three family property in Massachusetts, but live in California, we\u2019ll take care of everything for you (you just need to pay your mortgage, insurance, and taxes). If you\u2019ve been managing your properties yourself for years but now have aged out of it, we\u2019ll pick it up for you. If you went to college, bought a condo unit nearby, and now got a job in Chicago but don\u2019t want to sell, we\u2019ll lease it for you and take care of the maintenance going forward. But, if you\u2019re looking for us to manage 32 units for your condo association, I\u2019m sorry, we\u2019re not going to do it.<\/span><\/p>\nThe reason is that it\u2019s just apples and oranges. At Nexus, we employ real estate professionals who will take care of your leasing. We have in-house teams to take care of maintenance needs. We work hard to maximize efficiency and appreciate the nuances that different properties bring. But HOA management centers around one size fits all, leading meetings, advising boards, financial oversight and reports, and big picture items that lack the intimate relationships that we cherish. It\u2019s plodding. It\u2019s boring\u2026and apparently, based on the number of calls we get, a good one is hard to find.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

2) PROPERTY MAINTENANCE<\/strong><\/h3>\nIn recent months we\u2019ve also seen a spike in requests for what should really be called property maintenance. The conversations go like this: \u201cHi, I don\u2019t know if you can help me because I\u2019m already collecting the rent and have a tenant but I just need someone who can be responsible for maintenance emergencies when they come up\u2026do you do that?\u201d Again, unfortunately, the answer is \u201cno\u201d. We understand and recognize the need, but it just doesn\u2019t fit our model. When we get these calls, we\u2019re happy to provide recommendations, but can\u2019t help you ourselves.<\/span><\/p>\nThe best analogy is someone going into BJ\u2019s or\u00a0<\/span>CostCo<\/span><\/a> without having a membership and expecting to enjoy the service and reduced rates that members enjoy. Our in-house maintenance technicians respond quickly and at more competitive prices than industry averages it\u2019s true, but they\u2019re part of a closed-loop system where strong maintenance helps clients add value to their properties and over time add more properties to their portfolios. This works in tandem with leasing that finds strong tenants who take great care of properties and report maintenance issues promptly. Happy tenants make happy owners and with everyone\u2019s incentives aligned it helps keep our teams connected. As much as we\u2019d like to be able to help \u201cnon-clients\u201d, it\u2019s a recipe for bottlenecks and the potential for decreasing the value we\u2019re providing to our management clients. Of note, we do offer leasing services (RENT4U\u00ae) without full management \ud83d\ude42 as this is naturally a one time service when a unit is vacant.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n

3) \u201cTRUE\u201d PROPERTY MANAGEMENT<\/strong><\/h3>\nAnd then there\u2019s what we think of as true or actual property management. As started above, this revolves around collecting the rent, fostering strong relationships with tenants, and taking care of your property while you do something else, be it working your 9 to 5 or whatever it is these added revenue streams allow you to do. With a maximum management fee of just 8%, our goal is to grow with you over time and to help guide you toward long-term success. Whether you\u2019ve got property in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Phoenix, Arizona, and soon in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, we\u2019ve got a Nexus team dedicated to adding value to your rental properties.<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
