Not only does Prestige provide us the assurance that our investment is being well protected, Kris and his crew dramatically enhance our ability to enjoy our time with it. Not being our primary residence we once never knew what to expect upon arrival for our weekend getaways. We found Prestige through a friend of ours and have not had a stressful visit since! With Prestige we simply come home and enjoy ourselves. When problems arise, Prestige carries the burden from start to finish ensuring us the issue has been appropriately addressed. Simply put, these guys make home ownership easy! - Chuck and Robin, Chester
Two years ago we bought a 24 year old waterfront house in Easton, Maryland as a weekend getaway from our hectic lives in Washington, DC. Despite a professional home inspection, our repair list grew considerably when we started visiting the house on weekends. Fortunately, a neighbor recommended we contact Kris Clear of Prestige Property Management. Kris quickly helped us identify and prioritize the most important projects, especially those related to safety like a rotted porch railing and a warped floor board under the carpet in our bedroom. In addition, having grown-up on the Eastern Shore, Kris provided good recommendations on such diverse issues as who could repair a cracked front walk to good restaurants.
It wasn’t long before we realized several unique qualities that caused us to hire Kris to renovate the entire house and manage our property. Key among those qualities is his honesty and candor. Kris always told us the truth about a project’s importance and cost, and presented us with options. Many of those options stemmed from his creativity, which we have also come to value. Kris helped us develop designs for an open concept kitchen and family room, including a unique lighting feature over the kitchen island that attracts many compliments.
Our relationship with Kris is based on our trust in his honesty and reliability. That was especially important because we don’t occupy the house full time. Kris has the keys to the house and ran most projects without our direct participation. He is not afraid to make decisions and move things along, while keeping us informed on progress and problems when demolition uncovered unexpected issues. Also important was his patience. Kris never seemed to resent our many questions or even our need for some hand-holding when contemplating expensive projects. He sensed when we were anxious about an issue and spent more time to ensure we understood it completely. He never tried to push us into a decision.
Now that the major house work is done, Kris and his crew continue to work other jobs like refurbishing our pier. In addition, he supervises other professionals conducting chimney inspections, HVAC service and even snow removal when we cannot be at the house. Moreover, he inspects the house thoroughly each week if we are traveling. This provides us with peace of mind, especially in the winter when storms are more prevalent. We don’t have to worry about potential problems related to power loss, downed tree limbs or other perils that could be magnified by our absence.
No doubt there are other competent contractors and property managers on the Eastern Shore. However, Kris’s unique combination of professional competence, honesty, candor, reliability and congeniality made him the right choice for us - Karl and Donna Hasslinger, Easton
