I currently do everything myself. Why should I consider using Bridge?
Most of our clients who engage us for the management of their buildings and/or homes for the first time do so for several reasons. Their living situations or lifestyles might render it difficult for them to oversee their property and tenants remotely. Additionally, some seek the reassurance of having someone available to handle their most challenging tenant concerns.
I already use a property management company. What makes Bridge unique?
The biggest difference between Bridge and other property management companies is that we only profit off of the management fee. We do not provide service in-house at a mark-up, but instead we use a trusted network of vendors to serve your needs.
Who will we be
working with?
Johnna and her team of trusted vendors will be servicing your building the entire lifetime of your relationship together and she will manage all your projects, tenant issues, and association matters
What is your fee structure?
We charge a flat rate per unit rather than a percentage of income. The same amount of work is involved whether a unit is a $2,000 unit or a $3,000 unit.
Can you tell me about the vendors you use? Why don’t you have vendors in-house?
They are the best of the best. They do not work for Bridge so we have no outside incentive to work with them beyond the service they provide our clients. That said, we are constantly vetting the quality of their work.
I have my own vendors.
Can I use them?
Yes, we are happy to use vendors that you prefer. That said, for large projects, we will also request bids from 3 vendors and present them to you.
How do you handle large projects?
We manage the entire bid process, seeking up to 3 competitive bids, and present them to the condo association, investor, or landlord for approval. We are paid a set project management fee and do not charge mark-ups nor do we receive referral bonuses on jobs outside of property management.
