The Management Works enjoyed another stellar year of growth in 2017. Our highly trained team worked hard to add considerable value to our owner’s properties. We have innovated many of the ways we interact with residents as well as our digital audience. Along with adding nine new properties, we performed extensive renovation projects thanks to our exceptional maintenance and project management team. In 2018, we plan to continue to grow and adopt new technologies as we push the envelope of what a property management company can do for its clients. Read on to know how we are improving the way our residents live.

As COVID cases continue to impact Southern California, The Management Works is staying vigilant and taking all possible precautions through the coming winter months. There are many different measures that The Management Works has implemented since the start of the pandemic to keep residents and team members as safe as possible. All CDC guidelines are followed when interacting with current residents, prospective residents, and vendors. One tool which was previously in place for the convenience of residents turned out to be extremely helpful once the virus hit the United States. The Managements Works utilizes an online portal where residents and owners can easily access online statements, update renter’s insurance, and pay rent. Important maintenance work is also able to be effortlessly requested on the website. All leasing offices are closed to the public to minimize in-person contact, so we have increased our online and phone communication to stay responsive and helpful to residents. To protect our staff and eliminate unnecessary exposure for residents, we have confined our maintenance work to emergency requests only. When our staff does need to enter a unit, a PPE (personal protective equipment) is worn for the entire duration of the project. All maintenance work is completed with the utmost care and precaution. Before entering a unit to begin work, managers will check with residents to ensure they are feeling well and have not been in contact with anyone who tested positive for COVID-19. Work orders can always be rescheduled if necessary. Maintenance work areas are sanitized, and new sanitizing equipment is provided regularly to employees. Face coverings are worn by our staff for the entire workday, both inside and outside, to protect residents and team members. Prospective residents still need to be able to view potential apartments before deciding, so we have many 3D virtual tours available in an attempt to limit the need for in-person viewings. If someone still requests an in-person tour, we provide a lock box code which is changed daily. All units are also disinfected between viewings.
At the Management Works, our biggest priority is ensuring that our residents are happy with their homes. We seek to improve wherever we can and foster an environment of open communication with everyone living in a property we manage. One way we facilitate this is by surveying our residents after they move in, after they move out, and following maintenance visits. Using our online platform, residents can easily give a star rating out of 5 and answer a few questions. This provides a straightforward way to track how our residents feel after each important interaction, while simultaneously allowing us to see where we might improve. By providing an almost effortless way for residents to give feedback, we find they are more likely to respond and offer constructive comments. Property managers read through these surveys and track progress over time. We often reach out to individual residents following the surveys if they were not satisfied with any part of the moving or maintenance work process to ensure we fully understand their concerns.
