Top Reasons to Choose Cofield Property Management for Handling Rental Property Repairs

Repairs are one of the most stressful parts of owning a rental, especially the ones that happen at night. Cofield Property Management coordinates repairs for rental homes in Dripping Springs and Southwest Austin so the owner isn't the one getting the call.

Residents call Cofield Property Management, not the owner

Maintenance requests go to Cofield Property Management. The owner doesn't have to take the call or figure out what went wrong.

Troubleshooting before a vendor is sent

Cofield Property Management calls the resident to troubleshoot the problem first. Some issues can be fixed without a service call.

After-hours help for emergencies

Residents have an after-hours number for maintenance emergencies. For fire, medical, or other life-threatening emergencies, they're told to call 911 first.

Local vendors, with follow-up

Cofield Property Management creates the work order, assigns a local vendor, and follows up with both the vendor and the resident.

Owner approval over $500

Cofield Property Management explains why a repair is needed and what it will cost. Except in emergencies, no repair over $500 is done without the owner's approval.

A $500 reserve for smaller repairs

Owners keep a $500 reserve with Cofield Property Management. It covers smaller repairs and service charges, so they can be paid without waiting on the owner.

Every bill recorded

Vendor bills and repair costs are recorded in Buildium. Owners can see what was fixed and what it cost in their owner portal.

Inspections that can catch problems early

The home is inspected before move-in and again about six months into the lease at no extra cost.

Repair costs kept separate from fees

Management is 8% of the monthly rent collected. Repairs are property expenses paid by the owner.
