WHAT SHOULD I DO IF THE TENANT CALLS ME?
Responsible tenants are valuable assets to both of us. A satisfied tenant can bring us referral business and will be more inclined to care for your property as if it was their own. As the owner of the property, it is best that you avoid direct communication with the resident and refer all inquiries to our office.

HOW DO YOU HANDLE MAINTENANCE REQUESTS?
The Evergreen staff handles all maintenance requests for you; however, you will always be notified of possible or necessary large expenses. See Maintenance for more information.

No, for liability reasons, we only hire insured and licensed vendors to work on your home.
