At DWC Property Group, we understand that when it comes to property maintenance, speed matters—but resident satisfaction matters more.
In the property management industry, it’s easy to fall into what some are calling the “maintenance metric trap.” We start chasing numbers like how fast a work order was closed or how many tickets were completed this month. While these stats look good on paper, they often miss what really counts: Was the issue resolved properly, and is the resident actually happy with the outcome?
The Problem with “Fast Fixes”
A maintenance request that’s closed quickly doesn’t always mean it was handled well. Maybe the tech showed up fast but didn’t have the right part. Maybe the issue was marked “complete” but the resident wasn’t home to confirm. These scenarios can hurt trust, increase turnover, and create more work later on.
At DWC, we’re moving beyond just chasing speed. We believe in measuring what matters:
- First-time fix rate
- Resident satisfaction after the repair
- Clarity of communication throughout the process
- Follow-ups on high-impact issues
Why This Matters to You
If you’re a property owner, maintenance quality directly affects your bottom line. Bad maintenance experiences lead to unhappy tenants—and unhappy tenants move out. That means vacancy loss, more turnover expenses, and possibly a reputation hit.
Great maintenance, on the other hand, builds trust, encourages renewals, and protects your asset.
What We’re Doing Differently
At DWC Property Group, we’re:
- Regularly reviewing vendor performance and feedback
- Following up on major repair jobs to make sure the resident is satisfied
- Investing in preventive maintenance to avoid last-minute emergencies
- Using plain communication so tenants aren’t left guessing
We believe the best-managed properties aren’t just fast—they’re consistent, transparent, and focused on long-term resident relationships.
Bottom line: We don’t just close tickets. We solve problems.
