Marcy Li’l Nugget:
Don’t just complete a job and walk away thinking your work is done. The real value comes from following up. Check in six months later to see how leases are performing and stay connected with the manager to understand what maintenance is being done. By creating a structured maintenance plan, you ensure long-term success and consistency.
