Crist Management Company Boutique service for your residential or commercial property needs!

A letter from our company Owner-

As a local business owner and REALTOR® in the Hampton Roads area for over 12 years, I have come to gain an in depth understanding of the real estate market in this specfic region. I have worked with investors, first time home buyers, relocating families, retired grandparents, single young professionals, and many in between. All of this knowledge and experience has lead me to my most exciting venture in property management. Connecting directly with the customer is very important and I have found, as a professional in this industry, there is a severe lack of this with large rental and property management companies. As a real estate investor and "landlord" myself, I opened Crist Management to offer property management services unlike many others. With a strong local knowledge, hard working attitude and acute attention to detail, I put my clients first in personally making sure their housing needs are met quickly and efficiently. Not only do I speak directly with each home owner and tenant, I also make sure I offer the lowest competitive rates. If you are looking for a professional local business with vast experience and knowledge working directly in the real estate industry on a day to basis to manage your property, look no further!

🔥 Cleaning the lint trap is just the beginning!

Most of us remember to clean the lint trap after every load (great job! 👏), but did you know lint can also build up inside your dryer vent? That hidden buildup is one of the leading causes of dryer fires and can make your dryer work much harder than it should.

✨ Maintenance Minute Tips:

🧺 Clean the lint trap after every load.

🧼 Wipe out the inside of the dryer drum every so often to remove residue from dryer sheets and fabric softener.

🚪 Leave the dryer door slightly open after use to help moisture escape and prevent musty odors.

🌬️ Have your dryer vent cleaned every 6–12 months (or sooner if you notice longer drying times or have a large household).

🚨 Warning signs your dryer vent may need attention:
• Clothes take more than one cycle to dry
• The dryer feels unusually hot
• You notice a burning smell
• The outside vent flap doesn't open properly while the dryer is running

A clean dryer can help:
✅ Reduce the risk of fire
✅ Lower energy costs
✅ Dry clothes faster
✅ Extend the life of your appliance

💬 Question: Be honest... when was the last time your dryer vent was cleaned? 👀 If your answer is "never," you're definitely not alone!

🧺 Your washing machine cleans your clothes... but when's the last time you cleaned your washing machine? 🤔

It might sound strange, but washers collect detergent residue, hard water buildup, lint, and even mold over time. A little routine maintenance can help your machine last longer and keep your laundry smelling fresh.

✨ Maintenance Minute Tips:

🫧 Run a cleaning cycle (or a hot empty cycle with a washer cleaner) every 1–2 months.

🚪 Front-load washers: Wipe the rubber door gasket and leave the door cracked open after each load to help prevent mold and mildew.

🧺 Top-load washers: Wipe down the inside of the tub and leave the lid open after washing so moisture can evaporate.

🧼 Don't forget the filter! Many washing machines have a filter that catches lint, hair, and small debris. Check your owner's manual to find its location and clean it regularly.

A few minutes of maintenance can help:
✅ Prevent musty odors
✅ Keep clothes cleaner
✅ Improve efficiency
✅ Extend the life of your washer

💬 Question: Did you know your washing machine might have a filter that needs cleaning? Be honest... this was news to a lot of us! 😅

🔥 A clean oven isn't just about appearances—it's about safety.

Those burnt crumbs, grease splatters, and forgotten spills at the bottom of your oven can do more than create unpleasant odors. Over time, they can smoke, burn, and even become a fire hazard when your oven heats up.

A few minutes of routine cleaning can help:
✅ Reduce the risk of grease fires
✅ Prevent smoke and burnt odors while cooking
✅ Help your oven heat more evenly
✅ Extend the life of your appliance

💡 Quick Tip: Wipe up spills once the oven has cooled, and deep clean your oven every few months—or sooner if you notice heavy buildup.

Whether you own your home or rent, taking care of your appliances helps keep your home safer and your equipment working the way it should.

Question of the day... 👀
Be honest... when was the last time you cleaned your oven? 😂

🧊 When was the last time you cleaned your refrigerator coils?

If your answer is "Wait...my refrigerator has coils?" — you're not alone! 😅

Those coils (usually located underneath or behind your fridge) help release heat so your refrigerator can keep your food cold. Over time, they collect dust, pet hair, and debris, forcing your fridge to work much harder than it should.

✨ Cleaning them every 6–12 months can help:
✔️ Lower your energy bill
✔️ Improve cooling performance
✔️ Extend the life of your refrigerator
✔️ Reduce wear on the compressor

It's a simple maintenance task that takes just a few minutes but can save you money and help prevent costly repairs down the road.

💡 Pro Tip: Before cleaning, unplug the refrigerator and use a coil brush or your vacuum's brush attachment to gently remove dust and debris.

Your outdoor AC unit deserves a little attention too! 🌿

Most people remember to change their air filter—but forget about the unit sitting outside.

Throughout the summer it collects:
🍂 Leaves
🌾 Grass clippings
🕸️ Dirt
🌱 Weeds

When airflow is blocked, your system has to work harder to cool your home, which can mean higher energy bills and unnecessary wear on your HVAC system.

A few minutes of cleanup every month can go a long way.

Quick reminder:
✔️ Turn the power off before cleaning.
✔️ Use a regular garden hose—not a pressure washer.
✔️ Keep shrubs and plants trimmed back at least 2 feet.

A little maintenance today can help prevent expensive repairs later!

Don't fall for the marketing. 👀

Many people assume the most expensive HVAC filter must be the best. In reality, that's not always true.

Your HVAC filter is designed primarily to protect your heating and cooling system by trapping dust and debris. While higher-rated filters can capture smaller particles, they also restrict airflow more. If your HVAC system isn't designed for that extra resistance, it can actually reduce efficiency and put additional strain on your equipment.

For most homes:
✅ Follow your HVAC manufacturer's recommendations.
✅ Replace your filter regularly.
✅ If you want cleaner indoor air, consider investing in a quality HEPA air purifier instead of simply buying the most expensive filter.

A simple filter change—and choosing the right one—can help your HVAC last longer and perform better.

🛡️ Do you really need renter's insurance?

Short answer: Yes!

Many renters assume their landlord's insurance will cover their personal belongings if something unexpected happens—but that's a common misconception. A landlord's policy typically protects the building itself, not what's inside your apartment or rental home.

Renter's insurance can help protect:
🏠 Your furniture, clothing, and electronics
💻 Personal belongings damaged by covered events
⚖️ Liability if someone is injured in your home
🏨 Temporary living expenses if your rental becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss

The best part? Most policies are surprisingly affordable—often costing less than a few trips to the coffee shop each month.

While renter's insurance may not be required by Virginia law, many landlords require proof of coverage as part of the lease. Even if it isn't required, it's one of the easiest ways to protect yourself from unexpected financial loss.

A little peace of mind today can make a big difference tomorrow. 💙

💵 Life happens—but communication makes all the difference.

Missing a rent payment can feel overwhelming, but understanding what happens next can help you stay informed and avoid additional stress.

If your rent is late, you may experience:
📅 Late fees (as outlined in your lease)
📨 A notice regarding your past-due balance
📞 Follow-up communication from your property management team
⚖️ Additional legal steps if the balance remains unpaid

The most important thing you can do? Reach out early.

If you're experiencing a temporary hardship, don't wait until the situation gets worse. Communicating with your property manager as soon as possible gives everyone the best opportunity to discuss available options and work toward a solution.

At Crist Management, our goal is always clear communication, professionalism, and treating every resident with respect. We understand that unexpected situations can happen, and we're here to help whenever possible.
