Property Management
Less Stress with Property Management Support
Dwellworks is proud to offer expert care and personalized service for a homeowner's property while you are away on assignment. Our Property Management Services Team works hard to ensure the homes that employees leave behind while on assignment are well cared for and ready for when they return. Employees worry less about their home and focus on the job at hand with the comfort and assurance that their property is professionally maintained and cared for in their absence.
How does Property Management work?
When an employee is asked to relocate, what happens if they choose not to sell their home? The Dwellworks Property Management program is a great solution. We understand that every family’s situation is personal, so we created several options that they can choose from while they are away on assignment.
Some employees prefer that their home be left vacant, and others value the extra income of a tenant in place. Choosing our tenant occupied program means we will help with tenant relations including identifying a tenant, collecting rent, responding to repair concerns, and communicating with the tenant throughout the duration of their lease. The focus of our vacant program is to conduct weekly inspections and engage local service providers to confirm and maintain property condition while no one is residing in the home.
Whether renting out the home or professionally managing the vacant property, our Home Management team seamlessly coordinates the service and provides peace of mind for the long-distance homeowner.
We know how to get the job done
Homeowners and their employers feel confident knowing that their property is being managed by the most knowledgeable and experienced team in the industry. Our goal is to ensure a home is not just taken care of, but also that the homeowner has a trusted voice and advocate in their Dwellworks Home Manager. Available exclusively in the US, our Property Management services provide a consistently delivered solution for managing vacant or tenant occupied residential properties for the homeowner away on assignment.

Peace of mind on assignment and a true welcome home on return.
Many employees choose to keep their home so their family can return to it after their relocation assignment is complete. And they want to return to a home that has been maintained in the same way they would have cared for it if they were home. Who will ensure the yard is maintained, the pool is cleaned, or the snow is shoveled? Who can assist with the needs and concerns of tenants renting the property? What if something unexpected occurs such as a pipe bursting while the homeowner is thousands of miles away? These questions highlight the need for a service that provides an employee on assignment the most valuable benefit: peace of mind that their home is safe and secure.
