Customer Service and Credibility in Tulare Property Management

It’s easy to find a property manager in Tulare, but it’s slightly more complicated to find a management partner who is dedicated to providing an exceptional rental experience to you and your tenants.

We are a service-oriented team dedicated to good relationships. This impacts your return on investment (ROI) and contributes to a better rental experience for you and your residents.

For our team at River Drive Properties, customer service is about listening. It’s about caring and responsiveness.

We offer the credibility that can only come with providing an outstanding rental experience for your tenants and a profitable investment experience for you.

Responsive Tulare Property Management Serves Owners and Tenants Proactively

At River Drive Properties, we prioritize personal relationships and customer service. We know that residents are more than tenants; they’re partners in protecting your investment.

We know that you’re more than a rental property owner. You’re an investor with goals.

Transparent Communication

We are direct and open when it comes to communicating with owners, tenants, and vendors. It’s never pleasant to deliver bad news, but we’ve found that trying to dance around an unfortunate turn of events only makes things worse.

Expect us to be honest and upfront. We’re transparent, compassionate, and always willing to talk through even the most complicated questions and situations. This allows us to manage conflicts and disputes without escalation.

Whether you prefer to communicate in person, on the phone, or via text and email, we’re available and accessible. You won’t be wondering how to reach us.

Responsive Maintenance

A huge part of customer service when it comes to Tulare property management is making sure your property is well-maintained. We protect its value and its condition by prioritizing preventative services. Our proactive approach to routine repairs means there are fewer emergencies. That’s more cost-effective for you, and less disruptive to your residents.

We have a system in place to accept and resolve all maintenance requests from tenants. They know we care about their satisfaction and comfort.

There’s always an expert of ours prepared to help with a simple repair or an extensive renovation.

Detailed and Accurate Accounting

The management and communication of your finances is something we take seriously as your Tulare property management partner.

We’ll always make your financial statements available to you. Whether you’re looking for quick numbers or an in-depth analysis of how a particular rental property is performing, we can help you with the analysis of the data we provide.

Good customer service requires a willingness to be transparent and open. You’ll find we’re committed to that in everything we do, including your financial reporting. You won’t ever have to wonder where your money is going; we’ll show you.

Let’s price your rental home.

I switched to River Drive Management a year ago. I own many rental homes in Merced. Every other company I tried, offered poor customer service and non-transparent fees.

I met with Joseph and knew immediately, this was the company for me. They treat the tenants with respect and care and they always respond to questions promptly. The management fee is fair and they do not have any hidden fees. The return on my investment has increased over 40% under their keen management skills. I could not ask for more from a management company.
