PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Management Fees
We are confident we offer the best service at the lowest possible rates. Many property management companies quote low rates and then tack on charges to extra necessary services later. Or, in an attempt to undercut everyone they offer an extremely poor service because they are not getting paid well for the time required to do a great job. On the other side of the spectrum there are property management companies that charge a premium price promising premium service but do not deliver. We offer both the best possible service at the best possible rate, without undermining ourselves by charging to much or too little.
Each month Calcom Properties holds a company meeting to review policies, procedures, and rates. We have made a commitment to continually push ourselves to offer our clients the best service at the best rates possible.

Part III
MULTIUNIT PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Apartment Specialist
Without the appropriate knowledge and training multiunit buildings can be plagued with chronic low performance due to consistent low quality applicants, high tenant turn over, and constant maintenance needs.
Calcom Properties has the right property managers to fix these problems!
The Unique Needs of Multiunit Management
Many renters who choose to live in multiunit buildings instead of buying a home are lifelong renters. They are intelligent renters, they know their rights, and demand a high level responsibility from their property manager.
Other problems are very unique to multiunit living. Common areas and landscaping get damaged and dirty more quickly due to heavy foot traffic. It is important that designated pathways are obeyed to reduce landscaping damage.
Noise complaints and tenant conflicts are elevated due to close proximity of neighbors. They must be addressed quickly before good tenants leave and bad tenants learn bad habits.
Pet ordinances must be strictly kept up with because a single animal with a flee problem can create a building wide outbreak. The same is true for keeping up with trash ordinances. One residential unit that is not complying with the waist removal rules properly can create a building wide outbreak of cockroaches, ants, and bedbugs.
Parking is also a common problem with multi-unit buildings. If not enforced properly some tenants may misuse the designated parking area and make parking for guests and other tenants difficult. Poor parking causes high tenant turn over.
There are more special circumstances related to multi-unit management that are not listed here. Calcom Properties is equipped to handle your properties at the standard of service you deserve.
