The majority of prospect leads come from Internet-based websites including Zillow, Hotpads, Trulia, and AHRN. Each website produces a unique group of civilian and military prospects. Once we receive an inquiry, each prospect is screened utilizing the same multi-level process, beginning with a telephone interview, to get a snapshot of the prospect and their needs.
Tenants report work orders at the Tenant Portal. After review, we can efficiently dispatch the appropriate contractor to quickly resolve the issue. We utilize a variety of handymen and specialized contractors in order to minimize maintenance costs. Repairs that are projected to exceed the maintenance reserve require owner approval. PPS Homes staff is available at all times to respond to high-priority repairs.
We continuously monitor rental values in order to make recommendations to the owners when lease terms become eligible for renewal. Comparable homes, seasonal influence, and trends are considered when making a rental rate recommendation to an owner. In addition, the past payment performance and tenant care of your home are considered when renewing a lease.
