Schedule apartment unit turnover and make-ready from move-out to listed
A move-out notice starts it. The agent books the inspection, cleaners, paint and carpet in order, tracks the make-ready date and gets the listing ready.

The problem
Every day a unit sits empty costs a day of rent. Most of those days are lost to scheduling, not work: the painter can't start because the cleaners didn't come, and the carpet guy is booked for next week.
Someone keeps it all in their head or a spreadsheet. When they're out, nobody knows where the unit stands or when it'll be ready to show.

Who approves what
The property manager approves the turn scope and budget after the inspection. Vendors and work under your usual amounts book on their own after that. Extra work, like replacing flooring or appliances, waits for a yes.
Common questions
- What happens when a vendor doesn't show?
- The agent checks in on the day. If the vendor hasn't confirmed or doesn't show, it offers the job to the next vendor on your list for that trade, moves the rest of the schedule and tells the property manager the new ready date.
- Can it charge the move-out damage to the deposit?
- It drafts the deductions from the inspection photos and vendor invoices. The property manager reviews and approves them before anything goes on the resident's ledger or into the deposit statement.

Maintenance from report to closed
Residents call, text or email a repair. The agent sorts emergencies, opens the work order, sends the vendor and follows up until it's closed.
One leasing line for every property

Vendor certificates of insurance
The agent requests renewals, reads each certificate, checks limits and additional-insured wording, and stops dispatch to vendors whose coverage lapsed.
