Authority Property Management Monthly Newsletter - December 2023

Hello Wonderful Property Owners,

As December wraps us in its festive embrace, bringing Christmas cheer and the warmth of family and friends, we at Authority Property Management are equally thrilled to share this joyous time with you. In this newsletter, we'll touch on recent market trends, celebrate the season, and share some important team updates.

Celebrating December: A Time for Joy and Togetherness 🎅🎄

December isn't just another month; it's a magical time filled with laughter, love, and the joy of togetherness. As we deck the halls and light up our spaces, let's also ignite the spirit of community and kindness in our hearts. This season is a beautiful reminder of the importance of family, friends, and the precious moments we share.

A Heartfelt Acknowledgment: Best of The North State Award 🏆🌟

We are over the moon and genuinely humbled to announce that Authority Property Management was honored with the "Best Property Management Company" award for 2023 in the Best of The North State awards. To be recognized as the leading property management firm in Shasta County by our community means the world to us. This accolade is not just ours—it belongs to every one of you who has believed in us, supported us, and entrusted us with your property management needs. A heartfelt and passionate thank you to everyone who voted for us. This recognition fuels our commitment to continue delivering exceptional service and underscores the trust you place in us. We are deeply moved by your support and vow to uphold the standards that earned us this prestigious award.

Staffing Updates: Farewells and Welcomes 🌟💼

• Sarah King's Departure: We have bittersweet news to share regarding Sarah King. Sarah, who has been on maternity leave, may be relocating to Oregon and has decided not to return to her role. We have been fortunate to have her expertise and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
• Introducing Chelsea Robertson: We're excited to welcome Chelsea Robertson, who will be joining us as the new move-out coordinator starting January 1, 2024. Chelsea brings fresh energy and ideas, and we're confident she will be a fantastic addition to our team.
• Rose’s New Venture: Rose, who stepped in as an interim replacement, will also not be returning as she embarks on a business adventure with her husband. It's true that hiring talented people means they have numerous paths open to them, and we wish her tremendous success in her new journey.

Market Insights: A Steady November, An Anticipated December 📊🏡

• Competitive Yet Steady: November showed us a market that's becoming slightly more competitive. Our vacancy rate is currently holding steady at 7%, mirroring the pre-COVID normalcy.
• Spotting Trends: We've noticed a return of move-in specials among our competitors. This trend is an indicator of the market's effort to attract tenants during this typically slower rental season. One of our competitors is offering a $595.00 deposit special. Would that make you feel secure?  See the photo below.  Yes we did obscure the photo as we in no way want to make another PM look bad.

Strategic Focus and Warm Wishes 🌟🕊️

As we immerse ourselves in the joy and celebration of December, let us not forget the journey we've been on together this year. Your trust in Authority Property Management has been invaluable. We look forward to continuing this journey into the new year with our renewed team, ready to support and guide you through your property management needs.

May your homes be filled with laughter, your hearts with love, and your lives with the joy of this season. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Warm regards,

Aaron & Joline Robertson
