More and more disgruntled Florida homeowners are seeking our services after enduring a great amount of frustration owning a Florida vacation or rental property within the Orlando, Davenport or Kissimmee Florida areas.

Frustration relief begins when you realize most homeowners come to us with the same problem, and it’s the most frequent mistake we encounter with owners of Florida rental property. The scenario is usually one of the following failed strategies:

A trusted neighbor or friend looks after our property, well, most of the time
Our volunteer property manager didn’t charge us much until things went wrong
Our property is for personal use, not rental, so we don’t need a management company
Our neighbors use it when they have guests in return for looking after the property

In most cases, reality includes the following:

Your property is useful to friends and neighbors but most of the time it becomes a liability
Your neighbors always hold good intentions, but costs can skyrocket when things go wrong
Your neighbors just don’t have the time to evaluate cost effective professional contractors
Things only get done when you as the homeowner or a relative are about to arrive for vacation

Those are just four situations when Adams Homeowners Services is available to resolve your long distance problems. Despite good intentions, a volunteer property manager (friend or neighbor) is not equipped to react to problems as shown in the following photo collage:

The 4 photographs show the unsafe green water and swimming pool, overgrown weeds surrounding the pool motor, front area weeds and porch water, and palm tree landscaping overdue for a trim.

Most recently this same homeowner took on our services after they had a friend look after her rental property. By the time we received the call disaster had already struck with 2 homeowner association violation citations for the garden and driveway, plus more issues with a green pool, a burnt out motor, torn pool screens, and more.

If this is a familiar scenario to you, Adams Homeowner Services act as a link for you to attain peace of mind with your rental property. The emergency problems are particularly significant for out of state owners, and especially UK homeowners who are thousands of miles away with a 5 hour time difference.

Reacting to an emergency will be more difficult and expensive finding quick fixes than having a reliable link in Florida who specializes in dealing on your behalf, or providing you direct contacts with trusted professional sources.

We do not charge a management fee. Visit our main site for more information and learn more about our tailor made Florida rental property management program.

Good Care, Good Connections and Good Communication by email or telephone are essential for you to be a homeowner who can sleep at night with peace of mind. Don’t fall into the trap many of our homeowners have previously experienced. Contact us today to learn how we can help you and make a difference.

If you live in the UK, or anywhere outside of Florida, and encounter problems cutting costs as the owner of a rental property in Central Florida, we can help.

As 2007 nears an end, it is true to say the Rental Property Market particularly in the Orlando Kissimmee areas of Florida is a tough one for homeowners. Holiday bookings are harder to secure with the increasing choice of properties available. Many homes remain vacant for weeks with no rental revenue and accumulating management charges for the homeowner.

Most rental villa owners are lucky just to break even. Many remain out of pocket even after offsetting rental revenue. Owning a vacation rental property usually brings a high monthly expenditure that was unaccounted for at the time of purchase:

• Management fees
• Booking Fees
• Utilities
• Licenses
• Taxes
• Repairs

Even though the currency conversion rate for UK homeowners is extremely good at the moment, many homeowners are still struggling. A high percentage of homeowners are being forced to give up their dream home or forced to sell at low prices before foreclosure is applied. We can help towards your solution with the following:

1. Free information on problems you may be encountering with your Rental Property
2. A tailor made management program with no fees
3. Free quotes on maintenance issues with licensed and insured contractors

Our Adams home owner services is in place to assist Florida homeowners that reside out of state or overseas eliminate some of the charges they have to endure to accomplish peace of mind. We provide a local link in Florida for homeowners, so we can help you save money while giving you peace of mind.
