Maintenance & Purchasing
Recognizing the importance of preserving the value of the real
estate asset, Steadfast pays careful attention to maintenance. Landscaping
is always a high priority, because it enhances the appearance of
the real estate and has been proven to add to its value. Regional
Managers have a working knowledge of landscaping and conduct thorough
inspections on a regular basis.
Most maintenance at the communities is performed by Steadfast Management
Company employees, who are trained in many disciplines, including
painting, carpet cleaning, plumbing, electrical, air-conditioning,
heating, etc. A special emphasis is always placed on maintaining
cleanliness throughout the community, as well as establishing a
well thought out preventive maintenance program.
Maintenance expenses are controlled through proper training of
maintenance personnel, well-organized work schedules, and purchase
of service and supplies from approved vendors. By pre-screening
vendors, we are able to obtain discounts on prices, responsive service,
and on-site business managers are not bothered with repeated sales
calls.
