According to Maria Napolitano, owner of Allegiant Management Group, one of the region's top property management firms, it all comes down to creating the best possible first impression for prospective tenants.
“When a potential tenant walks through the door of a rental property for the first time, it sets the tone for the entire walk-through,” Napolitano said. “If it isn’t clean, and I mean thoroughly immaculate, it leaves the impression that you have not maintained the home very well. It usually makes the tenant wonder what else is wrong with the house.”
Additionally, Napolitano added, a home that has been professionally cleaned by a top-of-the-line service like Koskey’s Virtuous Cleaning sets a standard that helps bring in the right kind of tenant.
