In this episode of Wired Right, Stu gets candid about one of the biggest contradictions in real estate and property management:
“We care for your property like it’s our own.”
He believes most professionals genuinely mean that — but the system they’re working in has taught everyone to focus on saving money instead of protecting value.
From vacation rental managers with $250 “maintenance limits,” to realtors scrambling for the cheapest electrician days before closing, Stu exposes the mindset that drives the “lowest bidder wins” culture — and how it’s putting homes, investments, and people at risk.
You’ll also hear a real story from the field:
- A vacation rental company that calls for “diagnosis only” — just to send their handyman afterward.
- Another job where the owner only approved a partial fix — and then called back the next day when the problem (predictably) came right back.
This episode explores:
The psychology behind “money first, safety second.”
How property managers are conditioned by client expectations.
Why shopping for quotes instead of relationships creates long-term risk.
What “care” really looks like when you’re protecting someone’s investment.
How partnering with one reputable electrician, plumber, and HVAC company protects lives and reputations — not just wallets.
Whether you’re a property manager, realtor, investor, or homeowner, this one’s for you.
Stu’s message is clear:
If you truly care for your property like it’s your own, it’s time to stop chasing quotes and start building relationships.
