Frequently Asked Questions
What does a property manager do?
Property managers wear many hats from rent collection to maintenance coordination and leasing. We are a full service management company that handles the entire rental process for you, including providing you with accurate and transparent reporting so that you understand exactly what is happening at your investment property.
What differentiates Arbors from other property management companies?
Arbors Management, Inc. has been around since 1982, so we’ve seen a lot of changes in the industry. Many of our employees have been with us for over 5 years, meaning we have a lot of experience throughout the company. We understand that, even though we manage properties, the property management business is a people business and take pride in delivering superior customer service to our clients. Each property is assigned a Portfolio Manager and Leasing Specialist to handle the day to day management of your property. In addition to them, we have a full accounting department, compliance department, IT department, and leadership team dedicated to ensuring our management team has all the tools and resources they need to manage your property. We are truly a team oriented management company.
How is grass cutting and snow removal handled?
If the property is a single family property, the resident is typically going to be responsible for the lawncare and snow removal. If you have a multifamily property, this most likely will be the owner’s responsibility so make sure you factor in this expense whenever evaluating a property’s cash flow. We have great relationships with vendors that handle both lawncare and snow removal and would be happy to handle this routine maintenance for you if you would like to go that route.
Do you manage in my area?
We manage properties all over western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. If your property is 50+ units and has onsite management and maintenance, we typically will manage within 3 hours from Pittsburgh. If you have a single family home or smaller multifamily property, our area of coverage is from Cranberry, through Pittsburgh, down to Washington, PA. We manage as far west as Coraopolis, Moon Township, around the Pittsburgh International airport, and as far east as Irwin and Greensburg.
How much will my property rent for?
There are a lot of factors that go into appropriately pricing the rent for any given property including location, amenities, size, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, and what utilities are included or not included. You can get an indication of what your property might rent for by looking online at similar rental properties near yours. We would be happy to take a tour of your property in order to determine its specific rental value. Contact us today to get the process started.
Do you manage Airbnb?
We do not manage short-term furnished rentals. We specialize in long-term (12 month minimum) leases and unfurnished properties.
