With Buckingham’s continued dedication to resident satisfaction, we are ecstatic to announce that 30 of our properties received Resident Satisfaction Awards for 2018 from SatisFacts.

Property managers and team members took strides in improving their overall customer service tactics, which resulted in the increase of SatisFacts award winners from six in 2016, 25 in 2017 and now 30 in 2018!

Each property received at least a 4.0 (on a five-star rating) score on their annual surveys sent out to residents and prospects with a minimum of 25 surveys completed.

SatisFacts is the leading provider of resident surveys, focusing on multifamily retention and reputation management. By providing surveys to undecided prospective residents, residents after move-in, residents after service is completed in their home, and to residents near the expiration of their lease, Buckingham properties are always able to keep up with customer satisfaction. The purpose of these surveys is to provide a communication tool and customer service safety net to ensure questions, issues, concerns and praise don’t go unheard and that the team can then meet their residents’ needs.

Buckingham Companies' vision is to maintain an excellent reputation and integrity of our brand while delivering exceptional results. The properties who made this list exceed our vision on a daily basis!

What are garbage disposals designed for?
Small amounts of leftover food from your plate such as any small amount of carrot peelings, tomato chunks, and strawberry stems.

What should not go down the garbage disposal?

Anything that isn’t biodegradable food and/or items like plastic, metal, cigarettes, animal bones, hamburger, cooking oil or grease, eggshells, potato skins, rice or pasta, corncobs, seafood shells or shrimp. These items can easily clog your disposal even in small quantities.

What items can I store in my utility closet?

Only the water heater and furnace should occupy your utility closet(s). Other items stored here may prevent our staff from completing maintenance-related tasks and they may be hazardous to the equipment.

Why do I have partial power in my apartment?

You may need to check the breaker or the GFI outlet in your apartment. Every resident has their own breaker box and every outlet within four feet of a water source should have a GFI outlet. The GFI outlets are the ones with the buttons on them to reset the outlet. If you have partial power, try checking out your breaker and GFI reset buttons to make sure everything is ok!

What do I do if I come home late at night and I’m locked out?

You can call us using the emergency maintenance line at any hour of the day or night for help. The fee for a lock out is $25 and this fee will be charged to your resident ledger.

Can I call someone if there is an emergency in my apartment?

Yes, please call 911 first for any life-threatening emergencies such a fire or domestic disturbance. Then call our emergency maintenance staff for help or for any non-life-threatening emergencies. We are happy to help for those times when you are not sure if something is an emergency.

What is considered an emergency maintenance request?

Emergency requests include any non-contained leaks, non-functioning toilets (if it is your only toilet), a/c or heat not working during hot/cold temperatures, smoke detector beeping, security breach, total loss of power, flood, broken window, someone parked in your assigned spot (please identify your spot number, the car description, and if there is a tag in the car), non-functioning refrigerator, building entry door not functioning, or frozen/broken pipe.

Can I submit an emergency request online?

Please submit all requests by calling our office during the day or leaving a message with the property's direct line. We do not receive the online requests submitted after hours until the following business day.

Who should I call if my neighbors are noisy?

The office or maintenance staff is happy to handle any concerns regarding noise that can be handled without police intervention. For any loud arguments, excessive music, partying, etc., please contact the police. You may call 911 for life-threatening situations or the non-emergency police line for any other concerns.

Should I turn off my a/c or heat when I leave town?

Our staff suggests lowering the heat or increasing the a/c by 2-3 degrees instead of shutting it off completely so that the equipment runs more efficiently. Please do not turn off your heat during very cold months so that you do not come home to a frozen pipe!

The man, the myth, the Property Manager…Harold West here at Bradford Run is a Buckingham Companies legend. On a mission to provide excellent customer service every day, Harold is a pro at his job and deserves recognition.

Harold got his start with Buckingham Companies back in 2011, after seeing a job posting on Monster.com, and has been helping at multiple Buckingham properties since then. Now, he proudly serves Bradford Run in Kokomo, Ind.

When asked about his favorite part of his job, he shared, “The one thing that has kept me in multi-family housing is that we get to provide homes to people in every aspect of life. We provide some with their first home after graduation, a young couple’s first home together as newly weds, when they become empty nesters, when they retire, and for some, we provide the last home they will live in. There are very few careers where you get to work with people on that level.”

When speaking with Harold, you can tell that he truly cares about every resident and is dedicated to helping each person to the best of his ability.

Fun fact about Harold is that he was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and is a proud Gemini. His favorite thing to do in his free time is spend time with his wife of 30 years, play with his dogs, and play the guitar.

Haven’t met Harold yet? Stop by the leasing office and be sure to say hello!
