Tara Roberts and Beth Jacobs worked in property
management for more than two decades. Throughout
their careers Tara and Beth experienced firsthand how
complicated it can be to orchestrate the maintenance
team needed to make an apartment rent ready again.
Even worse, because of competition for available
maintenance employees, filling open positions took
Tara and Beth an average of 120 days. Often their
apartment flips got pushed to the backburner.
Tara’s and Beth’s losses could quickly bulge into tens
of thousands of dollars if their apartments remained
unoccupied even briefly. They therefore created the
solution: A perfectly streamlined system that returns
any apartment to rent ready condition within 24 hours.
“We truly are a single source supplier,” said Tara. “With
us you make a single phone call, and you get a single
invoice. You get a single day of our work as well, for that
matter, and often even less. Magic Make Readies is the
only service in the country that has truly perfected the
24 hour apartment turnaround.”
Before Magic Make Readies goes on call for a client,
their rep meets with them to learn a few key details
– the exact color of paint that they use, where they
prefer their maintenance supplies to come from, and so
forth. With that little information on file, they require no
coordination whenever their services are needed. You
can essentially throw out your make ready board.
Engaging Magic Make Readies to flip an apartment
really does feel like magic. Tara and Beth stay apprised
of their maintenance teams’ locations in real time via
GPS, and can summon a team to a job site at any given
moment.
Magic Make Readies can accommodate any type of
apartment. Every apartment is unique, so they adapt
accordingly. The service’s defining feature is the speed
with which their maintenance teams work. Whereas a
traditional turn would call for one specialist to clean
a carpet, another to paint the walls, and yet another
to clean throughout the apartment, the Magic Make
Readies crew members know how to do it all. That
means each tech remains productive the entire time
they are onsite. And because they make every turn a
team effort – something which independently hired
subcontractors have no incentive to do – their work is
lightning fast.
“We hire people with backgrounds in the property
management business,” said Tara. “They are
tradespeople with a range of experience in painting,
carpentry, electrical and plumbing. Many of them could
have been our clients if they had not come to work with
us instead.
“As skilled as our techs are, 100 percent customer
satisfaction is first and foremost our goal. That’s why
our Quality Control Specialists utilize a rigorous 50 point
inspection checklist.
If there is any discrepancy between the quality of the work we have done and the quality of the work we want to do for our client, we catch it and correct it immediately “Let’s say the average Richmond apartment rents for $1,200 a month. That means you’re losing $40 every single day it sits vacant during a needlessly prolonged move-out.
When you can rest assured that we’ll have
the job done in a single business day, you’re free to
focus on all the other ways you can serve your residents
and improve your return on investment.”
