  • A GROWING NUMBER OF HOMEOWNERS AND FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS are discovering the many ways our program contributes to the profitability of their real estate transactions. These include: lower holding costs; savings on insurance premiums; elimination of payments for utilities, property maintenance and association fees; reduction of depreciation due to damage, vandalism and deterioration; shorter on-market turnaround time; higher selling price. Banks and mortgage companies also realize significant cost savings through reduced administrative expenses.

    THE ADVANTAGES OF A CARETAKER COMPARED TO A RENTER are striking. Key among them is the fact that, as a subcontractor, a caretaker is ready to vacate a home within ten days of written notification. Compare this to the month or more it can take to remove an uncooperative renter, a situation which can result in a lost sale. Each caretaker is obligated to pay all utility bills* and homeowner association fees* as well as trash removal, and to be responsible for minor home repairs. Caretakers are required to carry a $300,000 liability policy, and we maintain $1 million in contractual liability insurance. *Water/sewer @ $100/month maximum; homeowner association fees @ $100/month maximum.
