Meridian is turning a corner with our 4th quarter goals...the need for responsible property management throughout the metro area has called us to find a more well-rounded team to provide safe and clean homes for the people of Kansas City.
So here we go!!!
We identified that Kansas City has an enormous inventory of abandoned or foreclosed homes that just need some TLC, the problem was finding the right contractors that would provide an honest service for the work needed that would stay within the desirable ROI.
After months of searching...we are excited to have Travis Thonen with Midwest Comfort Homes provide project management for those investors. MCH has done a tremendous job with our clients by providing them a clear detailed scope of work, progress pictures throughout the time line and a sense of trust that our clients investments are being taken care of, NOT taken advantage of...
We have also seen the need to combat the nuisance notices our investors are receiving daily. Due to tremendous rain fall this past spring and throughout the summer, lawn care has been a constant struggle. Meridian has contracted an individual who is specializing in yard clean up only for our metro homes. Tree trimming, landscaping, mowing and trash haul off is incredibly important not only to keep the city happy, but also to increase property values. We recommend our investors to allow our team to do a clean up in the spring and again in the fall so that the resident does not feel overwhelmed and can then maintain the mowing easily if it falls under their responsibility. Investors who take pride in their homes and show residents that they care enough to provide this service flows over to the resident who then understand our expectations to keep the home maintained.
Growing our inventory and defining these new services while also maintaining our customer service level has been a welcoming struggle. We are blessed to have a group of clients that have been patient and understanding knowing that we are customizing our services to ultimately benefit them. The end goal has always been to provide a consistent level of communication to both investors and residents. In order to accomplish that task Meridian has added several in-house team members to handle the work load. We welcomed Cindy Wallace as the Director of Maintenance in late April as well as Jamie Allen our new Regional Property Manager in July. We've also contracted a new maintenance technician, Clayton Allen, with C & J Property Maintenance. It is a blessing to be working with a group of individuals who supports Meridian's vision!!
There will be more changes to come in the 4th quarter of 2015- including more consulting services for clients wishing to buy and sell their investments. We look forward to growing a business that is willing to address the needs of our clients!
