  Perhaps the most important service a property management Norfolk Company provides landlords is preserving their properties through annual inspections and timely repairs. Naturally, the onsite manager should quickly respond to tenants' repair requests and also provide landlords with comprehensive reports as to how they are being handled.   A reliable and efficient manager will be able to accomplish this through a network of reliable vendors as well as on-site internal staff. For further enhancing handling of repairs, effective software tools should also be in place. Such systems ensure that tenants can submit repair requests online and that they get acted upon in a timely manner instead of falling through the cracks.Additionally, software tools also allow tenants to submit their requests before and after-office hours.   Furthermore, an efficient management company will see to it that preventative maintenance measures are undertaken on a regular basis. This involves setting up of an inspection and maintenance schedule that will note down minor problems that can become more expensive in the longer run.   Additionally, the maintenance crew that has been employed for these tasks should be insured, licensed and bonded. They should also be available 24/7 for handling emergencies. Third party contractors should also be licensed and monitored for quality as well as cost effectiveness.
