Residential Management

After 30 years in property management, we’ve come to know one simple truth – the only way to treat people is the way we’d treat our own family. With over 500 properties in our portfolio, we’ve refined a process that’s owner focused and personal at every touchpoint. If that’s the level of care you want from a project management company, then let’s talk and make sure the fit is perfect.

We’re always looking to make things easier for you and help improve processes. Here are a few things we’ve implemented lately that set the MECA experience above others.

Touch Free Inspection

Self Showings

Advanced Background Verification & 3D Identification

Accounting Services

We have a great software system that helps us track your income, e xpenses, and much more. We will make sure that you are never left wondering what’s going on financially with your properties.

  • Accounts Payable – we can show you exactly where your money goes each month
  • Accounts Receivable – we have constant contact with any tenants who get behind, but most importantly, we screen them to make sure we have solid, reliable tenants.
  • Security Deposits – collect and prepare disbursements, hold deposit in trust account
  • Monthly Income and Expense Statements – each month you will have a complete breakdown of your properties and units

Leasing

  • Applicant Screening – unreliable and risky tenants cost a lot of money and time! We work to avoid that by screening all tenants thoroughly by completing credit checks, background check, income verification, landlord reference.
  • Enforce Rules and Regulations – we understand if you don’t want smoking or pets in your building
  • Inspections – completed at move-in, move-out, and yearly
  • Process evictions when necessary

Market Analysis

  • Analyze comparable market rents
  • Determine the availability of similar space
  • Establish market concessions/amenities
  • Compare market rents annually and implement increases in rents accordingly

Tenant Relations

We put our resident’s requests at the top of our list. We feel a happy tenant is one we will keep for years. We have great, friendly relationships with the tenants while also enforcing rules.

  • Maintain regular communication with residents
  • Process all maintenance requests
  • Yearly inspections
  • Counsel residents as needed
