What Your Property Maintenance Support VA Executes

Free your property managers, leasing staff, and maintenance supervisors from endless tenant phone tag and invoice chasing. Your dedicated assistant manages the entire repair lifecycle from initial report to verified completion.

24/7 Tenant Ticket Triage & Emergency Protocol

Distinguish genuine emergencies from routine requests. We walk tenants through instant step-by-step troubleshooting before dispatching expensive emergency technicians.

  • Walking tenants through main water shut-off valves during active pipe leaks
  • Guiding basic electrical breaker resets and GFCI button resets before calling electricians
  • Classifying tickets based on Habitability Laws (loss of heat in winter, sewer backups)
  • Collecting clear tenant photos and videos of defects to diagnose issues accurately

Trade Vendor Dispatch & NTE Threshold Enforcement

Keep repair costs strictly under control. We dispatch primary contracted tradespeople and enforce Not-to-Exceed (NTE) spending limits with formal owner approval.

  • Dispatching preferred plumbers, HVAC techs, appliance repair, and handymen
  • Enforcing mandatory $250 / $500 Not-To-Exceed (NTE) limits on all work orders
  • Securing written property owner approvals for high-ticket capital replacements
  • Sourcing 3 competitive bids for major roofing, asphalt, and HVAC overhauls

PMS Work Order Lifecycle Tracking (AppFolio/Buildium)

Never let an open maintenance ticket sit forgotten for weeks. We update work order statuses, log tenant communication, and verify completion in real time.

  • Creating and assigning structured work orders in AppFolio, Buildium, or Yardi
  • Coordinating tenant access windows and lockbox / electronic key codes
  • Daily auditing of open tickets to identify delayed parts or stalled contractors
  • Sending automated tenant satisfaction follow-up surveys upon completion

Vendor Compliance, Insurance (COI) & W-9 Auditing

Protect property owners from severe liability claims. We track expiration dates for General Liability insurance, Workers' Comp, trade licenses, and tax W-9s.

  • Collecting Certificates of Insurance (COI) with management named as additional insured
  • Verifying $1M/$2M General Liability and active Workers' Compensation coverage
  • Auditing state trade licenses (master plumbers, certified HVAC technicians)
  • Blocking uncompliant or uninsured vendors from dispatch in your PMS

Turn & Make-Ready Turnover Coordination

Minimize vacant days between leases. We sequence turnover vendors—from move-out inspection audits to paint, flooring, deep cleaning, and rekeying.

  • Ingesting move-out inspection photos and punch-lists from zInspector / HappyCo
  • Scheduling trash-out, paint, carpet cleaning, and punch carpentry sequentially
  • Compiling itemized tenant damage deduction estimates for security deposit returns
  • Verifying move-in readiness with final photo verification before new lease start

Invoice Reconciliation, Lien Waivers & Owner Billing

Never pay an unauthorized bill or duplicate charge. We match contractor invoices against issued work orders, verify completed photos, and attach lien waivers.

  • 3-way matching: Work Order -> Vendor Invoice -> Completion Photos
  • Flagging invoices that exceed initial NTE thresholds without prior authorization
  • Securing unconditional mechanics' lien waivers for major contractor projects
  • Routing verified invoices to Bill.com or AppFolio AP for final owner approval

"We manage 240 doors across Austin. Maintenance calls used to wake me up at 2 AM on weekends. Sagedoer’s VA triages calls, walks tenants through shut-off valves, and only dispatches emergency plumbers when truly necessary within our $350 NTE limit. Our average ticket resolution time dropped from 48 hours to under 6 hours."

"Turnover season in August used to be pure hell. Sagedoer assigned us a dedicated maintenance VA who ingested our zInspector punch-lists, scheduled drywall, paint, carpet, and deep cleaning sequentially, and caught $4,200 in duplicate contractor billings. The Dedicated PM audit gave our owners complete confidence."

"At $6/hour for full-time support, Sagedoer has replaced what used to cost us $55,000 annually for an in-house dispatcher. Our assistant manages our entire AppFolio maintenance board, tracks vendor insurance expiration dates, and files warranty claims with appliance manufacturers without fail."

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about after-hours emergency triage, PMS access, vendor COIs, NTE limits, and supervised quality.

We follow strict Habitability Law decision trees documented in your custom SOP. Emergencies (such as uncontrollable active flooding, raw sewage backups, total loss of heat during freezing temperatures, or structural security compromises) are triaged immediately: our VA guides the tenant through emergency mitigation (e.g., main water shut-off) and dispatches your on-call emergency contractor within 15 minutes. Non-emergencies (like squeaky doors, cosmetic paint scuffs, or minor sink drips) are politely scheduled during standard business hours to avoid after-hours surcharge rates.
A Not-To-Exceed (NTE) threshold is a pre-approved financial cap (typically $250 to $500 depending on your management agreement) that authorizes a trade vendor to diagnose and complete minor repairs without waiting for owner approval. When issuing a work order in AppFolio or Buildium, your VA embeds the exact NTE limit and instructs the vendor that any work exceeding that cap requires on-site photo evidence and a formal written quote before proceeding. Your VA coordinates owner authorization so you never face angry client billing disputes.
Dispatching uninsured contractors creates catastrophic liability. Before any vendor receives a work order, your assistant audits: (1) An active Certificate of Insurance with $1M/$2M General Liability coverage naming your brokerage as additional insured, (2) Active Workers' Compensation coverage or legal exemption documentation, (3) A signed W-9 form for 1099 tax filing, and (4) State license verification for licensed trades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC). We log policy expiration dates and block non-compliant vendors automatically.
We operate as a managed talent partner rather than a transactional freelance marketplace. We incorporate quality assurance, work order auditing, vendor compliance reviews, and managerial oversight directly into our operating infrastructure. You pay strictly for pure productive hours worked by your assigned VA ($6/hr full-time or $7/hr part-time)—we cover project manager supervision at zero extra charge to ensure every work order is resolved and audited without error.
We follow strict least-privilege security protocols. In your PMS (AppFolio, Buildium, Propertyware, Yardi), you create a restricted sub-user staff account limited specifically to Work Orders, Vendor Records, and Communications—never granting access to banking, owner disbursement accounts, or tenant social security numbers. In addition, all shared credentials are encrypted via 1Password or Bitwarden, and every assistant signs binding confidentiality NDAs.
Zero setup fees, zero onboarding fees, and no long-term contracts. Billing is handled transparently on 4-week cycles based solely on pure hours worked, giving your property management company complete agility to scale support up during peak summer turnover seasons or adjust hours as your unit count expands.
