It's a common story: You have a friend living in Nosara who says, 'I'll look after your place for a small fee.' It works fine until the septic tank bursts on Christmas Eve, or a double-booking occurs.
The Lack of Accountability
When you hire a friend, it is difficult to demand accountability. You can't fire them easily, and they often lack the infrastructure (maintenance teams, accounting software, legal support) to handle crises. They have a life; your property is their side gig.
The Professional Difference
Signature Collection is a business, not a favor. We are contractually obligated to perform.
- Systems, Not People: We rely on software and checklists, not memory.
- Financial Transparency: You get professional monthly statements, not a text message with a total.
- Objectivity: We make decisions based on what is best for the asset, not what is easiest for the manager.
Keep your friends as friends. Hire professionals for your business. Contact Francisco for a transition plan.
