Turning properties for p.m. and landlords

[Jerrell Slay]

Hi all, I'm the owner of a office cleaning company. We operate between Murfreesboro TN and Knoxville TN. at the moment most of my business consist of offices, but I'd like to shift and focus on "turning properties" cleaning/carpet cleaning/painting/junk removal/ handyman services. I was hoping that maybe I could ask for some ideas and advice from you guys to get my foot in the door and provide a real service. I'd like to understand the mind set of landlords and property managers so we could truly give a service second to none.

What do you look for in a cleaning company? 

What gets your attention? 

When does persistence become annoying? 

What are the things you considered when you look and hire a turn key cleaning company?

What are some ways I could get our name out there, or some advertising p.m. and landlords actually look at? 

Thanks!

I have some properties in Knoxville and would love to have a dependable company to go in and do all that needs to be done in a unit to turn it -- for a reasonable price of course. To answer your questions...

What do you look for in a cleaning company? One that is dependable, shows up when they say they will, don't need constant supervision, doesn't require me to tell them every little thing to do, but does what they see needs to be done.

What gets your attention? If there was one company that would de-junk, repaint or touch up paint, repair minor issues, clean carpet, and clean the unit, then it would be a great deal.

When does persistence become annoying? Only after I've said I'm not interested and they keep asking.

What are the things you considered when you look and hire a turn key cleaning company? Is their price all inclusive? Do they nickel and dime me? Can they do it all without me telling them every little detail? Are they conscious of cost? Are they fast? Are they honest? 

What are some ways I could get our name out there, or some advertising p.m. and landlords actually look at? Bigger Pockets is a good way. Also contact all for rent ads on Craigslist and Zillow and offer your services. Post ads on Craigslist services/skilled trade section. That's where I look.
