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.

...after Caretakers of America.
The program – which has drawn praise from caretakers,
sellers and real estate agents – is based on the belief that occupied homes
sell faster than vacant houses because they are kept in ready-to-show condition.
