LandArc developed a Severe Storm Action Plan for our communities years ago. Unfortunately, we had to use it last week. The Tornado that ripped through Dexter, Michigan found its way through the heart of Huron Farms, destroying a number of homes and leaving a wake of debris that spread throughout the surrounding area. Our team immediately jumped into action, assisting with the cleanup effort, guiding owners through the insurance claim process, and working with local officials to help manage the restoration process.
Few management companies have the capacity to deal with issues of this magnitude. Fortunately, our maintenance operation and expertise allowed LandArc to be a valuable resource to a community in its time of need. We never wanted this kind of catastrophe to test our capabilities, but we didn’t hesitate when it became necessary. We were even asked to provide input to Dexter about their recovery plan. In the words of a local official, “You manage communities larger than our entire village.”
Although the work of property management can be mundane, the opportunity to make a difference exists in the unforeseen and our ability to deal with it. Our heartfelt sympathies and prayers are with all of those affected by this disaster. We are so sorry for their loss and working hard to make it a distant memory. The motto that appears on our literature says it best: “Serving Your Community – Protecting Your Investment” Today we did more than just say it, we proved it.
