Take Out the Stress of Owning a Vacation Home: 5 Benefits of Having a Home Management Team

Jun 13

Whether it’s your vacation home or second home, there are various tasks you have to complete to maintain your property. From landscaping, cleaning, and scheduling repairs to monthly, quarterly, and yearly maintenance – there’s always something that needs to be done.

And it can get overwhelming when you have other homes and properties to care for as well.

But a home management team can take on these tasks over for you – helping ease the stress and responsibilities of doing it all yourself. And instead, you get to enjoy your time at your home.

So let’s dive into the 5 benefits of hiring a home management company to care for your vacation home or second home.

Convenience

When you live in a different city, state, or country for part of the year, it’s not easy to coordinate repairs or home improvement projects for your vacation property.

With a home management company, you don’t have to worry about dealing with this yourself. They’ll save you time and hassle by being your on-site coordinators for whatever needs to be done.

Want to upgrade your kitchen? Your home management team can manage the project and act as your onsite representative. Plus, your team will know reliable, trustworthy vendors who can get the project done, so you no longer have to worry about finding one yourself.

Need someone at your home to receive a delivery? A home management company can do that for you and check the delivery to make sure everything arrived as expected.

Professional maintenance

Homes need continual maintenance from monthly landscaping to annual roof inspections. And keeping up with it is difficult – especially when you only spend part of the year at your property.

A home management team can take on these maintenance tasks for you to ensure your home stays in good condition. And prevent any minor issue from becoming a major problem – like noticing those missing shingles after a windstorm or a leaky faucet in the bathroom.

Emergency services

If your home alarm system goes off or a pipe bursts in the front yard, who's going to respond for you when you’re in another state?

Having a home management team provides you with people who can address maintenance or security concerns when you’re not home. You can rest easier knowing that if an emergency should happen, you have people nearby who can help protect your property.

Aging in place

Maybe you’re getting older and want to to stay in your home. Or you have elderly parents who want to age in place. When you make the decision to age at home, your home or your parents’ home will still have to be maintained and even modified to make it safe for older family members.

Having to juggle these responsibilities on top of all the other responsibilities that come with caring for your older self or elderly family members can be a lot. Your home management team can step in and take care of the home so you can focus on what’s important – seeing after your elderly parents or yourself.

Peace of mind

When you own multiple homes, it’s difficult to feel entirely comfortable that your properties are being cared for. And when you stay at your vacation home or second home, you stress about all the tasks that need to be done to keep your property in working order.

A home management company will take away that stress by professionally managing your home for you. Allowing you to enjoy your time laying out by the pool, shopping in town, or hosting a dinner party for friends.

A home management team is a smart investment for your home and peace of mind.

So whether it’s your vacation home or second home, having a professional team take care of your property while you’re away just makes sense.

And you’ll want a team located in your area. That way they have a better understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities that come with those areas and the needs of the property.
