Community Manager
JPA’s professional Account Managers and Customer Service department work to assist the Community Managers to make their job easier. Both the Account Manager and Customer Service department work in unison to ensure open communication with Property Managers regarding the consistent and timely management of their shared properties. A variety of monthly and daily tasks are completed so that the Property Manager is always aware of progress on their properties’.
Daily Support
Account Managers. Account Managers don’t hold bankers hours…They are always in touch with what is going on within your property. From oversight and training of maintenance crews, horticultural knowledge, to coordination with our irrigation and construction departments, these individuals measure the pulse of your managed properties to ensure you know things are getting done. If you want to know more about your property… just ask your Account Manager.
Customer Service. Customer Service (CS) is available from 8 am-5 pm each day. This group of dedicated employees, answer the phone and route calls to other departments as needed; working in unison and back up of the Account Managers. They have status on all Work Orders in process and are knowledgeable of the individual accounts. Each CS Representative is assigned set accounts in order to stay abreast of what is needed and where things are. Our CS Reps partners with the Account Managers and all JPA Field Staff to manage the account and report back to the Property Manager.
Notifications. Email notifications to the Property Manager are sent upon completion of work orders as they are completed.
Emergency Service. JPA offers 24 hour emergency service, 7 days a week. We are committed to 15 minute response time to emergency calls as we have there is a staff of employees on call 24/7.
Monthly Support
Activity Report. By the 10th of each month we send out Activity Reports to our clients. These Activity Reports contain a concise and organized consolidation of all requested and extra work activities that JPA performed on the property for the previous month. Along with these activity reports, come an open proposal report.
Open Proposal Report. The Open Proposal Report includes all outstanding proposals that JPA has created for that property. This monthly reminder of proposals that have not been accepted or declined prevents items from falling through the cracks.
Irrigation Inspection. JPA has a rotating irrigation audit that allows us to be proactive around water leaks and break-downs in the irrigation system. These audits are detailed out and the CS department creates the necessary proposals for needed repairs and recommendations. To better our effort at sustainability, we ask that our property managers partner with us in supplying and analyzing community water bills. With this information, our team is better equipped to see patterns and potential problems with the irrigation systems on your properties. These are just a few services that we provide as a part of our monthly maintenance.
Ongoing Account Support
Budgets. In August of each year, JPA provides projected budgets for each of our properties to assist the Property Manager in their overall property budgeting. This assists the Property Managers in making sure that nothing is missed for the next year planning and allows them to be proactive and to instill a ‘no surprise’ budget.
60 Day Property Assessment Report. On large new properties, a 60 Day Evaluation Assessment Report is completed which outlines the status of the property landscape with recommendations for ways to improve the maintenance of the property. JPA will propose ways to work with the Manager to establish short term as well as long term plans to ensure the property is well maintained and the infrastructure is kept up to the standards expected by the homeowners.
Personal Touch. In addition to the reporting and documenting services, our team is available to attend board meetings, review proposals, conduct water audits, give presentations, assemble historical reports, and provide the personal touch that gives our services exceptional value.
JPA Landscape & Construction, Inc. is here to work with you to create beautiful landscapes.
