3 Services Your Vacation Property Management Team Should Offer

Posted on

As a vacation home owner, you have to find a way to maintain the vacation property while you're away and living at your main house. Luckily, a property management company can do all of the legwork for you. Here are some of the services that the property management company you decide to hire should be able to offer you:

Cleaning Services

It's important to make sure that your property management team will take care of cleaning services throughout the year whether you're around or not. When you aren't staying at your vacation home, dust can quickly build up inside so it needs to be cleaned away on a regular basis. And when you are there, you won't want to spend your vacation time cleaning the place or making sure it's spotless before you're ready to go back to your year-round home.

If your property manager oversees the cleaning of your vacation home, you can have peace of mind in knowing that it will always be clean and ready to use when you show up to enjoy the property. Plus, you won't have to worry about stocking a bunch of cleaning products and accessories at your vacation home.

Landscape Maintenance

Landscaping is also an important aspect of managing your property that shouldn't be overlooked. Pulling up to a vacation property that's full of weeds and overgrown grass isn't very appealing, and can make you feel overwhelmed before your vacation time even begins. You'll also have to spend the first part of your vacation time getting the property cleaned up instead of relaxing.

So, the property management company you choose to work with should be able to handle all of your landscaping needs while you're away from your vacation property. In addition to keeping the grass cut and the weeds pulled, they should be willing to plant and maintain seasonal flowers and plants in your yard throughout the year so you can readily enjoy them whenever you visit.

Rental Management

Because you won't be spending all year at your vacation property, you may decide to rent it out at some point to make some extra income. This also ensures that place doesn't stay vacant for too long of a period at a time. Luckily, a full service property management company can take care of everything from advertising your rental to vetting renters and managing contracts for you. All you will have to do is let your property manager know which dates throughout the year you want to rent your place out and then wait for your profits to start rolling in.
