The Vendor Challenge for Property Managers

Every door creates maintenance calls. Maintaining separate vendor relationships for every trade is time-consuming and creates gaps when a vendor is unavailable. TBCRN gives property managers one number to call for any trade need.

Essential Vendor Categories

HVAC (most common tenant request), plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, flooring, drywall, cleaning (turnover and common areas), handyman, landscaping, tree service, pressure washing, locksmith, garage doors, appliance repair, and emergency response.

Routine vs. Emergency Needs

Routine needs include AC servicing, landscaping, and turnover work. Emergency needs include water leaks, AC failure, electrical issues, and storm damage. TBCRN handles both — routine requests are matched to available professionals, and emergency requests are priority-routed.

Using TBCRN as Your Trade Desk

Instead of maintaining a vendor list for every trade, submit requests to TBCRN and we route them to the appropriate available professional. This saves time, reduces vendor management overhead, and ensures you always have a contact for any trade.
