About Us
Our Vision: On Campus and Beyond

We offer an enhanced tenant experience, added value, and an opportunity for property management firms and realtors to be more competitive in their respective markets by offering not only amenities, but innovation to renters who have unlimited options.

They are our core customers, as they carry the bill for their Freshman student. A parent with a child(ren) in college is concerned with preparedness, safety and cleanliness of their student’s environment. Think about it this way, when a student is at home living with mom and dad, their environment is set up for success. Meals are made regularly (dining halls) laundry is done regularly, they are reminded to clean their room (housekeeping) and an itinerary is given if a family trip is scheduled (moving/summer storage). The customer life cycle potential is 4-5 years. Provide them the highest level of care and service and they will be a customer for life. Our services also benefit working adults (general residences as well as commercial customers) (B2B).
