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

I saw this overgrown property and decided to locate the owner and ask him if he'd like a FREE lawn makeover. He told me that he didn't know the property was in this condition and told me that his management company would get a hold of me. I got the OK from management; however, during the service, one of the workers came to show the home to two families. What made it worse is that he told me that they've been trying to get renters in here for awhile now with no luck. I wonder why... How do you not feel embarrassed to show this home to new tenants?

[@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.

[@fillslawncare]

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.

[@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.

[@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

[@jackbowermaster8975]

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

[@teribelleau137]

I agree 💯

[@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.

[@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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.😊❤

[@CynthiaMauk-bv3mu]

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

[@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!!❤😊❤

[@terryshafer9586]

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.

[@trinamcgarvey-vw7ke]

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

[@conniesamuelsen3078]

God Bless You for Your hard hard work!!!! I KNOW the neighbors are extremely grateful!!!!

[@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.

[@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. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@terriainsworth9047]

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. ❤💙💚💛💜

[@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]

@@randomthoughts2241 Exactly.

[@phyllishobbs1695]

Great job!! Love that you pick up all the clippings!!

[@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.

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

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

[@Hatbox948]

Maybe management meant the inside was ready lol. The outside, not so much. It looks much better now.

[@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.

[@redwingshave1152]

The owner obviously needs a better management company 🤬 I woulda sent pics to the owner. Great job as usual ❤

[@glendajune9140]

You definitely blessed the management company,& the neighbors. Hard to believe that, the house was actually being shown in that condition. Bravo Fill’s Lawn Care!! Spectacular job my friend. I love that mini chainsaw. What kind was it?🤔💯💕👍🏾💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸

[@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 !! :)

[@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. 👽

[@bettyf2893]

I hate spiders! What was up with that? Thanks for the close - ups! Huge undertaking, superbly done!

[@ronaldhorne5106]

Those were crickets. They have been especially abundant this year.

[@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.

[@pamelastokes2964]

I don't know why anyone would think this property was ready to be shown! Just plain ridiculous!❤

[@lrobinschoender7972]

Wow! Like the other person said, I can’t believe they showed that property in that condition! 😮Great 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 😊

[@FAHeiss]

I can't believe someone would show it in that condition. Not a very good first impression.

[@carla-CY-PenArt]

Some do it to see how bad you want it.

[@glimmerstanyasversion]

Thank you for being one of the few to actually do a complete job! You should have more followers.

You truly take pride in your skills and efforts, and for the properties you revamp we Thank You and applaud your efforts. 😊❤🎉

[@jajacobs100]

Now, with your "magic" it's ready to show. I wouldn't have wanted to look at it before. Great transformation as usual!!

[@Woodworker-gi9wb]

What befuddles me most is that a neighbor would let that property get to such a state. Who would want to look at that mess?

[@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. 👌👏👏👏👍✌️

You have done a magnificent job on the lawn 👀 great

Great work done by you. You did your job. The so-called management company and the landlord didn’t do theirs. Enough said.

[@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

[@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.

[@sheilawebster5126]

You are the only channel I watch that actually bags/catches the clippings...thank you for doing it right!! ❤

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!

[@muskokamamma]

If I was the owner of that property and found out that it was not being maintained by the supposed property management team …they’d be fired ASAP! Like what am I paying them for?! No excuses, just because house is vacant it should still be maintained !! Great job ! Property looks awesome now

I love your work. I am going thru financial difficulties right now but when they clear up I am going to join 😁 I like the way that you don't leave grass, branches, trees lol behind for the homeowner or renter to deal with. I really like that you pull the weeds and not just weedeat them away and that you take care of the flowerbeds, that is rare. And lol lastly I like that you do the job the same even if you are not paid for it. You take pride in your work. And you should because it is very awesome. Don't forget to hydrate!

Hi Phil, I love the before and after. Well done! I saw that rock hit your shin and I felt that one. I have a mark on my leg from the same thing happening to me.

[@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.

[@peem1244]

Hi Fill, hope you're keeping well. Another great video, and awesome work, as usual. As you know, buying/selling/renting property is won or lost on 'kerb appeal'. Very poor reflection on the management company, too. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work.

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
