FAQ – Choosing The Right Company

It sounds too easy, doesn't it?

We're sure you likely have some questions - we've compiled a list of the ones we get most frequently! If you have any additional questions or need clarification on anything - we're ready to talk today!

Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

Our most common types of jobs involve resolving landlord/tenant issues, managing deferred maintenance projects, rehabilitation of problem properties and unit leasing/lease enforcement. Comparative market analysis is also an often requested service!

What questions should a consumer ask to hire the right service professional?

A consumer should ask what kind of experience in the properties/maintenance field the professional has, as well as how familiar they are with the type of investment asset or project you would like to have managed. A good fit is someone who has the experience you are looking for and who ALSO is familiar with that kind of property or work. You do NOT want someone who is specialized in Residential managing your Industrial complex, and vice versa!!

Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

Many companies tell you that they are looking over your investment property or construction project when they are not. In fact, they may NEVER send someone to your property at all, unless forced too so via catastrophe! At RPS we personally look over your investments and make sure we keep tabs on it over the course of your contract. At RPS, we believe in serving both our clients needs, and the tenants or potential tenants. The key to having a successful investment property is communication and our aim there is to help make sure that your property continues to be profitable come what may. Many other companies are only looking to collect a fee and move on to the next owner.

Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

The most recent Project Management contract RPS completed was a total rehabilitation of a single family row in Manayunk, PA. It involved tearing down and rebuilding new walls, creating 2 new bathrooms, updating of all electrical systems, new heating systems, and redesigning and installing an all new kitchen. The project came in under budget at $81,000.00 and time on completion was just 2 months, 8 days!
