Why
have so many homeowners switched to Bennington
Properties? |
| |
|
|
● |
We are a small
company. Your home will not be in competition with
200-400 other homes. |
| |
|
|
● |
More personalized
attention to your home. We will know all the
details of your home and can more enthusiastically
promote it over the telephone. Very important to
guests. They want to speak to someone who really
knows what they are talking about and can answer all
of their questions. |
| |
|
|
● |
We do not “nickel and
dime” our homeowners. For example, if we change a
light bulb, you pay only for the light bulb. |
| |
|
|
● |
We hire independent
housekeeping companies to clean our homes. A
specific company will be assigned to your home
permanently which allows them to become familiar
with your home on an ongoing basis. These companies
are flexible and will work with you, if you so
desire, to meet your individual needs. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
● |
We advertise
extensively on the Internet, in a number of
publications, and with periodic mailings. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
● |
Our personal
nature attracts many customers.
Bennington Properties
is best described by the phrase made famous by the
sitcom Cheers, “A place where everybody knows your
name.” |

Why do our homeowners
prefer our fees and charges? |
| |
|
|
|
Many of our homeowners have switched to Bennington
Properties to save money. |
| |
Here are a few reasons
why: |
| |
|
|
● |
29%
commission + 3% recreational fees + 3% credit card
fees (total = 35%) |
| |
|
|
● |
$35 monthly maintenance
fee which covers all maintenance done by Bennington
Properties. We do not “nickel and dime” you by
charging you every time we change a light bulb or
put a screen door back on its tracks. |
| |
|
|
● |
No
fee for owner or owner’s guest usage. |
| |
|
|
● |
Guests pay the cleaning
fee, not the homeowners. On average this saves the
homeowner about $2000.00 per year.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
● |
Homeowners only
pay for the cost of supplies used in their home
(toilet paper, paper towels, laundry detergent, hand
soap, dish soap, propane, minor maintenance
parts/supplies). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
● |
No additional fee to
arrange outside services. For example: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hot tub maintenance |
|
|
|
Firewood delivery |
|
|
|
Snow plowing |
|

valuable service that fosters long term clientele. |
