PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

For most Lexington PMC clients, their properties are their single largest investment. To protect this investment, Lexington assumes all responsibility for overseeing physical maintenance, emergency response and financial management. Every property has its own segregated bank account and you can rest easy knowing that every aspect of your property is professionally managed.

Trust starts with a clearly readable contract. However, most real estate contracts are printed in fonts that are so small that they are almost impossible to read, effectively hiding key contract provisions in plain sight. Not so with Lexington PMC. All of our contracts are in a minimum 12 point font with all fees are clearly identified in Bold Italics.

Lexington’s Owner Portal provides 24/7 secure real-time access to all financial and physical maintenance records for your property from anywhere in the world. Whether you are sitting in your living room or sailing in the Caribbean, you can access the financial records for your property. You can access the maintenance records for your property. You can monitor your property’s leasing status. And, you can approve distributions of cash flow from your property. Lexington PMC technology provides complete transparency and gives you instant access to your information no matter where you are or what you are doing.

In real estate, “An ounce of prevention is indeed worth a pound of cure.” Lexington PMC controls costs and extends the life of critical building systems (roofing, heating, plumbing etc.) by ensuring that systems are properly maintained for maximum life and efficiency. Filters are changed in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines, sewer lines are cleared at least once every three years and gutters are cleaned once a year plus after major storms to prevent roof damaging debris from accumulating. Lexington PMC saves Owners thousands by spending hundreds of dollars on a customized preventative maintenance scheduled for each property.

Lexington PMC’s staff is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to respond to building emergencies. In case of an emergency, please call our main line at 818-882-5888 and leave a detailed message if you reach our automated voicemail system. State your name, address, phone number and the reason for the emergency call. Someone will respond to you as quickly as possible.

If the emergency is life-threatening, please call 911.

In addition to preventative and emergency maintenance, Lexington PMC can, at owner request, obtain multiple bids and oversee vendors providing remodeling or renovation services. This includes both improvements designed to increase rents such as kitchen and bathroom remodels and disaster recovery from floods and windstorms.

In addition to overseeing property repairs, Lexington PMC ensures that gardeners, pool services and other vendors providing on-going services are on time, on budget and providing quality services. When requested, Lexington PMC will ensure that vendors designated by the Owner are used on their property. It is your property. It is your investment. It is your choice.

Tenants report Maintenance Requests via their online Tenant Portal and Work Orders are generated automatically. Owners, Tenants, Lexington PMC Managers, and repair personnel are digitally linked to ensure complete transparency and that repairs never fall through a crack. No sticky notes. No lost call logs. And no dropped balls. Lexington PMC’s electronic work orders and communication with vendors provide quicker responses, greater accountability, and complete transparency.

Rent is collected faster and more securely via the online rent payment section of each Tenant Portal. Tenant’s pay their rent instantly and can select automatic debit via the Electronic Cash Payment (“ECP”), Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) E-Check or Credit Card payment options embedded in the Lexington PMC website. No more excuses like “the checks in the mail”. And no bank holiday or weekend delays. Rent payments are collected and deposited the very next business day.

All Lexington PMC leases inform tenants that late rent payments are automatically reported to credit agencies. Knowing that their credit is on the line typically discourages late payers from applying and strongly encourages existing tenants to pay on time, every time.

On the rare occasion that they are necessary, Lexington PMC supervises the eviction process from start to finish. Lexington PMC will retain legal counsel to represent owner, ensure the three-day notice is properly served, calendar court appearances and, if it ultimately comes to it, sheriff lockouts and removal of tenant’s possessions.

Lexington PMC ensures that all recurring and one-time bills related to the property are paid in full, on time. Once bill paying has been transferred from the Owner to Lexington PMC, we become responsible for late fees whenever bills are paid late despite the property account having sufficient funds. If the check is “lost in the mail,” we pay the late fee.
