The duties of the Property Supervisors are to insure that each property is running smoothly, they have the "hands on" experience of working with service people and contractors to bid lawn and snow contracts, and large and small maintenance issues that may develop on a property. They supervise the property supervisors in the day-to-day operations of the individual properties. All bills and correspondence for the properties are personally reviewed and approved by the Senior Property Supervisors. All conditions affecting the property, whether they are conditions of the market or economic conditions are reported to each owner with the property supervisor's analysis of the situation.

Her specialty is managing the smaller units, single family, duplex, town home, etc. Usually it is a one-home/one-owner situation requiring a more intense "hands on" approach to management. Kim does interior and exterior inspections on a scheduled basis and more often if situations warrant. She constantly evaluates the properties to keep the rents in line with the market.
