Real International Property Management Update: Your Properties are in Good Hands!
Amidst a recent cold wave in Austin, Real International’s Property Management team demonstrated proactive measures to safeguard homeowners’ properties comprehensively. The Austin area experienced two notable temperature drops, with temperatures reaching lows of 15 – 20 degrees Fahrenheit, and we even witnessed sporadic snowfall.
In response to the chilling conditions, the Real International Property Management team, foreseeing the concerns of property investors and homeowners, took preemptive steps to address potential issues, particularly with vacant properties. Before the onset of the cold wave, a thorough inspection of all vacant properties was conducted, involving the closure of water sources and the drainage of pipes where applicable. Faucets were deliberately left on in some properties to maintain a slow drip, preventing pipes from freezing. Additionally, cabinet doors under sinks were opened, and thermostats were set at 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Following the cold wave, team members revisited all vacant properties to ensure the absence of damages meticulously. Water sources were reinstated, and thermostat temperatures were adjusted accordingly. Remarkably, the property team received only two heating-related repair requests during this period.
