Another busy summer of visitors arriving soon!
1) With limitations and concerns about indoor dining, 2020 tenants prepared more meals at their rental homes. Â The trend is likely to continue in 2021. Â Inventory your kitchen with this in mind and replace well used cookie sheets, frying pans, utensils, etc. Â Make sure to run the oven’s cleaning cycle prior to your first guest.
2) Gas grills have always been popular. Â Check on the condition of the grates, and grill tools.
3) Some owners are creating “work/learn from home” space in their properties. Â Adding a simple desk (by wall outlets of course) is a practical and appreciated update.
4) We expect another extended rental season. Â Realistically, the change over cleaning crews have limited time, so it’s helpful if owners plan one or two in person visits during the summer. Â Check the ceiling fans and HVAC return vents for dust, clean the outdoor shower, and organize/clean the deck furniture. Â If distance makes this impractical , work with your cleaner to tackle a few add on tasks throughout the summer months.
5) Speaking of deck furniture-the value of outdoor living space has never been greater! Look at your pieces objectively for comfort, cleanliness and function.
Planning for summer is a wonderful distraction from our snowy February!
I am here to help with any questions in the meantime.
