Southern Property Management Group Spring Cleaning Tips

Spring is here and that means lots of changes are in the air.  In an effort to continually improve your property, we would like to remind everyone of a few things.

We have several units that are being listed in the month of April.  As everyone knows, new listings mean new appraisals for each unit.  All it takes is one appraiser to lower the value of everyone’s unit by entering a low price into the MLS system that all realtors use.

We would like to encourage everyone to clear off any “extra” items that are being stored on your back porches with the exception of your patio furniture.

Lastly, please remember to change your air filters, as your HVAC systems will be working overtime in a few short weeks.
