LEE SPIEGEL – REI SUCCESS STORY

Several years ago, I ran into the father of one of my son’s friends in the grocery store. Lee Spiegel and I had known each other for a while, but at that point we were casual acquaintances. We both live in the same town in Westchester County. Lee and I struck up a conversation about family and friends, but our chat quickly turned to property management. Lee was considering purchasing more properties, and I was getting Sterling Property Solutions rolling on a larger scale.

That brief encounter in a supermarket was the beginning of a great business relationship. Today, we manage eight buildings for Lee, a mix of both residential and commercial properties. He was kind enough to share his thoughts about us and property management in general with me for this blog article.

“I’ve been a Sterling Property Solutions client for eight years,” Lee explains. “I could not be happier with the performance of Linda and her team. They do a great job. No matter what needs to happen, repairs, maintenance, tenant relationships, they take care of it all.”

“I prefer not to get involved in the day to day management of my properties. Of course, certain things need my approval, such as the expense for an extensive repair or maintenance job, but I’m not a handyman or an accountant. Linda and her team know this and make sure that everything is done for me the right way, the first time. It’s hard to express how wonderful that is! I sleep well and night knowing that Sterling Property Solutions has me covered.”

Effective communication is one of the keys to success in managing properties. Like many of our clients, Lee wants us to handle all aspects of his property management. That works from our side because Lee promptly returns our calls and texts. He’s a model client.

“Recently, a major storm blew through Westchester,” Lee says. “A large tree fell into one of my apartments and did extensive damage. Thank goodness the renters weren’t hurt. That’s the most important thing, of course. But I had a real mess on my hands. I thought for sure that it would take a couple of weeks or more to get a contractor lined up and all the repair work completed. I was wrong. Linda and her team had a contractor out there the next day! Within a week, all the repairs were finished, and the renters were back home in their apartment.”

We keep a list of contractors and maintenance pros at the ready. Often, and I know this is the case with Lee, when one of our contractors does work on a client’s rental property, they do more work for the client on their residence. Our goal is to ensure that everyone is happy – the landlord, the tenant, and the contractor.

Lee has nothing but wonderful things to say about our services. “I highly recommend Sterling Property Solutions to anyone with rental properties, residential or commercial, in Westchester County. They have proven to me, time and time again, that they will take care of anything and everything quickly and professionally. They are amazing, simply the best.”
