No one is likely to deny the importance of a well-maintained property. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs, improve energy efficiency, and extend the property’s lifespan. But property maintenance includes more than just performing tasks to keep a property looking its best; it also encompasses the culture and responsiveness of the maintenance team. In other words, it’s not just “what” you do but “how” you do it.
Maintenance responsibilities are the largest piece of a property’s operational budget and the area most closely linked to resident satisfaction. Therefore, property owners and managers need to recognize this critical connection and understand the essential role of maintenance as it relates to safety, satisfaction, livability, and value — all of which ultimately lead to lower turnover rates and higher rents — to assess the effectiveness of maintenance operations.
Grace Hill is committed to training and equipping property maintenance teams with the knowledge and skills necessary to maintain assets and satisfy residents. Access our free e-book below for tried and tested advice from our experts and elevate your maintenance practices today!
