A Happy Labor Day to All

kevin • September 7, 2020

A message shared this Labor Day with the team and clients/customers

I shared the following message with our 12 team members (and 6 part time ones) who now work with me at AIM Real Estate Management:

"There is a lot to ponder and be thankful for on Labor Day: the jobs we have, the compensation and benefits derived from our jobs and the sense of fulfillment we get from a job well done. I just want you all to know that everything you do is truly appreciated on Labor Day and everyday."

It is thanks to you, as one of our residents, that I am able to hire some of the best associates, train them, and offer them a career path with continued growth. And, because of you, our team may then, in turn, provide for their families. With a sincere a amount of appreciation and gratitude for the opportunity to help a growing number of people, I thank you for your business. We look forward to serving you as long as we are able to add value to your real estate.

While the team may have this Labor Day off, I remain on-call; so if there is an emergency or something that requires immediate attention, please feel free to email or call me directly.

Again, on behalf of our entire crew (updated roster attached), we wish you a very Happy and Safe Labor Day 2020.

How to Boost Your Rental Property’s Curb Appeal

By Kevin Quat • April 1, 2025

Key Takeaways First Impressions Matter: Enhancing your rental property's curb appeal can attract more potential tenants and increase its value. Simple upgrades like fresh landscaping, a clean walkway, and a well-maintained exterior can make a big difference. Lighting and Maintenance Are Key: Good outdoor lighting improves both aesthetics and security, while regular maintenance—such as repainting the front door and cleaning gutters—keeps your property looking inviting and well-kept. Small Changes, Big Impact: You don’t need a full renovation to boost curb appeal. Adding potted plants, updating house numbers, or installing a stylish mailbox can create an instant visual upgrade with minimal effort.

Should I Allow Tenants to Paint My Rental Property?

By Kevin Quat • April 1, 2025

Key Takeaways Maintain Clear Communication: When tenants request to paint, it's important to discuss expectations and guidelines upfront. This ensures both parties understand the conditions and helps maintain a positive landlord-tenant relationship. Set Specific Conditions: If you decide to allow painting, consider setting parameters such as approved color palettes, designated areas, and requirements for repainting upon move-out. This approach helps preserve the property's appeal for future tenants. Consider Alternatives: If you're hesitant about permanent changes, suggest removable options like high-quality, removable wallpaper. This allows tenants to personalize their space without causing lasting alterations to the property.
