Depending on the "problem" we have a few options for tenants. 1st off we want everything in writing. So we will ask tenants to use our online portal. They can get access to it 24/7. If it is an property emergency, tenants call our office - where an UDPM team member is on call - Most issues are handled between business hours.

depends on what the "problem is'' when it is sent through the tenant portal. We all work together. Most items are resolved between our operations manager or leasing specialist. We work hard to handle most items without getting the landlord involved as that is what we are hired and trusted to do.

We are comparable but what you get from us that you won’t get from them. #1 - we a boutique service with less than 200 homes under management #2 - We have 75+ years of combined experience (we have all worked for the "other guys" or are investors ourselves) # 3 - We have been told by our owners we respond faster than the “other guys" #4 - We have the most reasonable maintenance costs (it comes from us protecting you from Over Charges we know that you shouldn't pay for) #5 BIGGEST REASON - you can call anytime.
