Services for Free Market Units
Providing comprehensive services in the Property Management Contract is how we provide investors and tenants alike to ensure the most efficient single point of contact service. Whether it’s a move-in, maintenance request, concern about rent payment or adding a tenant to the lease, we’ve experienced many, many challenges with our 20+ years of Property Management experience and we apply that experience.
No matter what the property or tenants need, we offer a singular point through our Property Management Software that allows our tenants, vendors and owners to view, see and communicate with us directly and immediately. We further offer preventative advice regarding things like tree trimming prior to hurricane season and leverage our experience to ensure the best outcomes.
Services for Associations
One of the largest challenges for Associations today revolves around understanding the value of various line items in the budget. While your current management firm may be telling you one fee for management and another fee for janitorial services, they also hide a ton of other charges like storage fees, postage and mail charges, copy charges, administrative fees and more.
Our goal as a Community & Association Business is to provide a service that keeps an eye towards saving your Association more than you pay for management each year. To that end, we quickly assess the Associations income, expenses and then proceed to making recommended changes. Your Board is a group of volunteers. They shouldn’t have to spend their time working on the tedious day-to-day items. Your Board should be focused on issuing decisions and directives to be carried-out so that you can take a much broader view of the Association overall.
In 2019 Metropolitan saved its Associations an average of 19% in expenses and increased revenue (without raising dues) by an average of 12%.
