I share the properties between the providers and can gauge their performance and price.The responses are great and they cover items within the infrastructure such as AC/heater,electrical, plumbing, garage door etc.If there is anything uncovered that needs to be fixed, my broker connects me with local handy men or professionals to take care of those issues.One of the providers, https://www.ahs.com/ charges $75 per call.
