Why Hire Circle Property Management?

We Use Technology to Improve Property Maintenance

Qualified Tenants


We maximize technology by utilizing proprietary contact relationship software to reach out to your tenant reminding them of their responsibility to maintain your property. Our soft touch program reaches out to your tenant with informative and timely maintenance tips, like gutter cleaning, winter pipe preparation, air filter replacement, and up to 11 friendly emails per year. Our goal is to make it easy for our tenants to act on our reminders by including property specific information like air filter size and approved vendors for seasonal tasks like gutter and yard clean up. We know it works; we receive many replies thanking us for the reminder and useful information.

We Pass Our Savings On To You

As an independent, family owned and operated non-franchised property management firm we are not obligated to pay fees that increase our overhead like Franchise Fees, Marketing Fees, Management Fees to a Franchiser or third party vendor and so we pass these savings on to our customers.

Property Evaluation

We are often asked to make property inspections to evaluate the condition of properties by Investors, Asset Managers, or family members who wish to have a baseline condition report of a property occupied by an aging family member. We are a FULL CIRCLE management company supporting our diverse clients' needs. Regardless of your requirements, we can help you. Please feel free to contact us for an evaluation or to request a FREE QUOTE.

Custom Printing Your Tenant Handbooks

Our Bizhub MFP is much more than a copier or scanner. We have installed a “saddle stitcher” which allows us to custom make booklets on demand as need for our clients. This offers us great flexibility to custom make Tenant Handbooks which are property specific, adding important information to help better maintain your property.

Property Data Property Maintenance Intelligence System (PMI)

We maintain 100 data points on your property including mechanical equipment, air filter size, parking, property access, utility companies, HOA/CONDO information, your approved vendors, community amenities, and much more. We use this property specific information as a tool to maintain your property and communicate with your tenants in an effective manner resulting in little to no communication issues. Managing communications depends on accurate and timely data!

Tenant “Soft Touch” Communications and Automation

One of the most effective tools to maintain your property is our drip email campaign. We send approximately 14 timely email reminders to your tenant reminding them to maintain your property. Most tenants appreciate a reminder to replace a filter or turn off water spigots when we approach winter avoiding broken pipes. In the spring we send out a reminder to replace the air filter in the furnace before switching to the cooling season which has dramatically reduced AC service calls.

Maintenance

A well-maintained property is part of an investment strategy grounded on asset management principles - an approach which pays dividends with higher rent, improved tenant relations, and better outcomes when it's time to sell. A well-maintained property not only rents faster but it also encourages the higher rent premium -delivering a greater return on your investment.

We also offer seasonal and quarterly maintenance specials to our enhance purchasing power. The key to good outcomes regarding the property's condition is maintaining the property in a way that prevents costly repairs!

Maintenance

These are some of the items we help facilitate in-order to maintain good maintenance practices. We also recognize the importance of enforcing the Lease agreements regarding the tenant's responsibility to maintain the property.

We utilize CRM systems to send regular e-mails to the tenants reminding them of regular maintenance requirements. We also send a reminder to replace air filters, winterize exterior spigots, clean gutters and check all drains for debris.

There are critical periods during the year when properties are at risk. Winter and spring is our wettest period and when problems related to moisture and water intrusion. Good maintenance practices include gutter cleaning and making sure downspouts are clear of debris.

When you need service or maintenance you can count on us to value your maintenance dollars. Circle is a professional management company; we have approved and insured contractors, or we will use one of your trusted companies.
