Management Said This RENTAL Home Was Ready For SHOWING, What Are They Thinking??

[@fillslawncare]

How do you feel about this situation?

[@billtruttschel]

Most people know that an overgrown lawn is a minor issue when considering a place to live. Not a big deal.

[@sherrybarton8742]

If they let the outside get this bad I would assume the inside needs repairs too

[@dans9206]

I feel like I've seen this video before. After searching high and low, I've come to the conclusion that I have. I would have been disappointed, but you do the job so well, I just watched it over again. The other video is on Fills Lawn Care Plus.

[@fillslawncare]

@dans9206 This video shows the work. The other is more talking & showing behind the scenes, of course.

[@jackiehunter7375]

I think you did a really good job and why they will show it with that lawn looking like that I have no clue. Great job Fill

[@bettyallred8883]

I like the way you collect the grass clippings from the yard. A much better finished job. Also hauling off the limbs, etc. A job well done.

[@helenfitch3440]

If you mowed here in Australia and didn't clean up after your work , you would not work again. Word of mouth soon puts you out of business.

Thank you

[@Bigdolfmoney]

Yeah more than half of these KZbinrs don’t bag. I appreciate what full does more because of that

[@mooshimaqueenbee3291]

I was coming on here to say the same thing. I understand these people are doing it for free, but most do this for a living. So doing a good job and bagging up the grass and hauling away everything shows others what a great job they would do if you were paying for the job. Great free advertising for your business. If you don’t bag and haul away, not very good for business.

[@ejeanroh377]

Neither the property management company nor the rental agent/real estate company deserved this wonderful courtesy from you, but they got it! ! Wonderful job, Phil..it was a pleasure watching you...

[@ericknoblauch9195]

A nice neighborhood with a house with a unkempt yard due to a management company just collecting the rent, and doing very little. Watch out for these companies if you use them because they do not inspect the properties kn a regular basis. Some of them do not arrange for outside maintenance. My uncle owned a house, and his employer transferred him overseas. He contracted with a management company to rent out his property. There were evictions for unpaid rent, lack of inspections, and a yard full of overgrown grass and weeds. We went to the next door neighbor, and spoke. The next door neighbor said he was sick and tired of it. He let us look over the fence to see a yard full of weeds up to your waist. We then contacted my uncle who then contacted the management company. My uncle then told us they asked him why was he even calling because they had everything under control. He told them there was a complaint received to him from the neighbor, and brother. They had someone go right out to cut the weeds and overgrown grass. It turned out my uncle was paying them all along to cut the grass and weeds. It turned out they were not. He fired the management company, and hired another one. If you use a management company for a rental property you may be paying for services they are not performing.

[@maureenkempton4846]

I agree 👍 💯

[@margaretalbert69]

Yeah, they'll probably charge more rent now cause of your awesome job

[@lindadeerwester4914]

I would NEVER rent from that management company. If they don’t take care of the outside, they don’t take care of the inside. Thank you Fill….. once again, an awesome job!

[@ericknoblauch9195]

If they do not take care of the outside, they won't respond if anything breaks or needs repairing on the inside. If the plumbing leaks or the heat does not work, they won't repair it. All they want to do is get paid to collect the rent.

[@lillianperry6451]

I'm thinking he didn't want to spend money or time on keeping it up. Who would have been desperate enough to have taken it on. What kind of renter one who would let it get worse. Glad for the neighbors that you rescued this yard. Excellent work you have done.. PS the manager should be let go.

[@bernaclischurchill4463]

If this is a rental property, and the management said it was ready for showing, that is a 'red' flag that they are bad landlords, and whoever moves in there will have their hands full. Also the same applies if they are selling the property, they are most likely dishonest. Great job. Ms. B. Churchill

[@bkfromtherockies]

🎯🎯🎯

[@Sargy18MPBDE]

I watched the video of this property on Fill's other channel. The management property guy that was showing that day just completely looked suspect and dressed in unprofessional attire. Massive red flag right there. I'd immediately get back in my car and never return.

[@joridgway5074]

I'm usually all for helping g people in need, but in this case I feel this is a poor manage.ent problem and they should have prepared this . I would not be wasting my time doing this so that some poor unsuspecting prospective tenant gets duped!!!!! Sorry

[@cardnal5133]

Simple solution. Once the property OWNER sees the video, he or she should fire that management company. No excuses for that unprofessionalism.

[@CAROLHOLMES]

When the yard is not taken care of, you can presume nothing in the house is taken care of. Looks like a nice neighborhood.

[@jackbowermaster8975]

It's time for a new management company. You do great work. 👍

[@teribelleau137]

I agree 💯

[@traciebostwick2507]

Apparently the management doesn't know how to manage.... great work!

[@CM-bc6ey]

Yep, wouldn't be managing my property any longer... proven they dont actually care

[@nancyoleksy]

Management companies kill me. I live in a condo and the parking lot has weeds and trees that need to be taken care of. The lawn care we have will only do that stuff if you ask them. WHAT? If I had a lawn care business and saw that this stuff was overgrown I would do that automatically. You did an amazing job on this house. Hope you left a card for these people or with that management.

[@lindadeerwester4914]

Lawn care is only lawn care. Fill is an exception, he does it all! I live in an apartment complex and I sure wouldn’t expect the guy who cut grass to remove the dead trees. Fill is da bomb!

[@Jersey1971]

Isn't lawn care part of the property management? I would think so

[@prestonwells1840]

It varies from company to company how they do things as well as what is listed in the contract for that specific property. From a business stand point I think they look at it as they only do what they are paid to do.

[@SousChef77]

Any job worth doing is worth doing well. We need to get back to how America used to be.

[@beardedbros7215]

The condo is YOUR property. You might share a complex, but maintenance is your responsibility. If you cut a tree and people are pissed. Then move away. Or openly confront your HOA for having subpar tree/lawn maintenance.

[@trinamcgarvey-vw7ke]

Unbelievable that the management company would do that! The owner needs to find a new management company.

[@alanwalker4520]

The Owner of the property needs to 'chew out' the management company. That is not a good company if 'they' let the property go 'downhill' like that....Holy Smokes!!! Awesome Job Fill !! :)

[@cableguy939]

i think its a blessing to the neighbors that have to look at it and try to keep those weeds from getting into their yards. Nice work.

[@CynthiaMauk-bv3mu]

Owner should get a better management company. Your work is awesome

[@Lostparadise1776]

Amazes me how your workmanship dose not change, paid or free jobs, that's true pride in one's work. Great job!

[@suewright984]

My favorite phrase is “how you do anything is how you do everything.” He’s the proof.

[@catherinepospichal174]

The property management company should be maintaining the lawn while the property is unoccupied and if they want to rent it out or sell, it would look better being maintained, just can't believe these rental agencies now a days!! Great job!!❤😊❤

[@INKADORA]

The greatest job as usual. Can’t believe they were showing this house. Piss poor management company. So glad you cleaned it up. Leave your card so they can continue to use you excellent lawn care. Blessings on you . People don’t realize what a wonderful job you do for them. 👌👏👏👏👍✌️

[@ceeyaaa]

Also it’s apparent the neighbors care about their lawns so you have been a blessing to them as well.

[@robh.5242]

I’ve worked as a Real Estate agent and as a homeowner I’ve never heard of showing a property in the worst possible light. That’s counterintuitive. Great transformation. You always do a great job. I had a neighbor who was in a nursing home for 10 years. When her grass got long, I would always cut it when I cut mine. I would cut her front yard before I cut my back, so I was caring for my house and hers at the same time. Didn’t get a penny from her kids for gas or time. I’m amazed at neighbors not looking out for each other! You are doing great work and are a Godly man. Thank you for your work!

[@williecourthers9450]

You are one of the very few who produce these kind of videos on KZbin that really detail the lawn by picking up grass clippings. You also do an exceptional job cutting and trimming.

[@randomthoughts2241]

Yes! I can't stand clumps of grass, ready for a baler, being left behind lol Its looks almost as bad as the over growth.. ALMOST LOL

[@williecourthers9450]

[@kathleenahart1331]

Great job Phil. I share your sentiments on the property management mentality. If they showed it in that condition, I wouldn't rent from them. Shows they don't care.

[@Barbarra63297]

My brother was a Realtor and appraiser for years, he would have been shocked to think that anyone would think that property would show well. But, as usual you brought back it's beauty!

[@Bigdolfmoney]

I appreciate the fact you bag the grass. Half of these KZbinrs don’t and just blow all of the trimmings back into the lawn and it looks bad

[@MarnieSablan]

As a former landlord, if I had a management company that wasn’t taking care of the property, I’d fire them. Good job on helping the owner and hopefully the management company will be more diligent. 👏🏻👏🏻

Show not shoe!! 😊

[@Ginarose5657]

That was awful, that the mgmt co thought it was ok to show the property in the previous condition. Thank you for being a blessing and making it beautiful again. Love the fact that you take away all the green waste and tree limbs. Have a great week!

[@jeremy1350]

Hi Fill. A long time ago, one of the biggest lessons I was taught was that, "If it had to be done, then do it." I had to change a fair number of dirty diapers in my time, (Figuratively!!) They were showing that property in that sad state? Me thinks someone needs an education on cleaning and staging, don't you agree? Well Done, it looks great.

[@carolynbrown180]

We are always surprised that even real estate company's don't take care of the lawns where they have their signs. You do wonderful work. God bless.

[@gailatkinson1955]

Not much of a management company. The owner needs to find someone in the neighborhood to send him pictures often about the upkeep. If they show the house with the outside looking like that, I can only imagine what the inside looks like! Thanks for your hard work.😊❤

[@terrains4u]

Management? What management? Doesn't look managed to me. That's scary! You did an amazing job that all the neighbors, I'm sure, are appreciating. You always do the best job possible. Love your videos! And thank you for making such a difference. ❤💙💚💛💜

[@marklar7551]

More like a blessing to the neighborhood. Yes, looking at a huge bill to get the lawn into shape would not be a selling point. 👽

[@reternity777]

Great job! Maybe management will consider you to maintain the lawn on a regular basis!

[@cathiwim]

But would they pay him? Could count on them?

[@mamiemoncrief9664]

These management companies really don’t do their job. They probably are charging the owner for lawn maintenance. My brother had property in another state, was manage by a company. They charged him for lawn maintenance, my brother visited the property, and found the lawn was not being maintained. They are rip off.

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

Whatever comes of this house the neighborhood doesn’t have to look at the mess. Good job!

[@winstonhancock4817]

You've completed a very good job there Phil, thick grass can be very difficult to cut as it retains so much moisture. Collecting the grass cuttings in my opinion makes all the difference when mowing a lawn, presentation is everything. The work on this property looks a top class job to me Take care of yourself 😊

[@amye4087]

I would be upset if I owned this and was from out of town and paying a management company to take care of this stuff. Was the owner paying for upkeep on the lawn? I guess you just always need to check in with the neighbors and see what is really happening. If I lived in town, then that is my fault for not checking up on them to see if they are doing what they should be doing. Good job making it so much better.

Another 👍🏻 job from Fil’s. I live in a private association 🏡 which has a number in my area along with local council 🏡. I was 😊 when I came home 🏠 from ⛪️ to see the next 🚪 getting her garden cut. A young single parent had her uncle cut it. He lives further down the street. I get fed up with the jaggy brambles growing through the back garden fence. Quite awkward using the secateurs to cut it. The housing managers don’t bother nowadays checking these things. Useless

Enjoy watching you very much and like that you believe in some safety by eye glasses and gloves! You are one of top few "free" lawn mowing companies who pickup all trash and clippings! Watched your small mower in action and since nothing can be done to give more power i suggest you change out the blades for new sharper blades then have present blades resharpened so you have second set to trade out as needed! Got this idea as watched how many times over same area of the yard ! You are an excellent landscaper and perform items such as flower and plant bed restoration and pruning overgrown trees and bushes! Again i am impressed by the amount of work you do for free!

[@Chuck5653]

I am 70 and I mow 5 to 18 acre lots for people who do not have the means to hire it done. Most of them are older than me. I am healthy and have a John Deere 3038E with a 6' brush hog. I do some trimming, but the bulk of work is done sitting on the tractor. I say that to say to you, that at times it seems that it is a thankless job, but you and I know better. More people watch what you do rather than to hear what you say. The payback is a job well done, and the satisfaction that you made a difference in someone's life. Blessings to you.
