Overview
Vendor payment timing is an important part of effective property management. Green Residential follows a structured payment process designed to ensure quality work, transparency, and reliable service delivery from third-party vendors.
Standard Vendor Payment Policy
The standard policy is to pay vendors after approved work has been completed. This approach ensures:
Work meets agreed-upon standards
Repairs are completed as authorized
Accountability from vendors
Payment is issued once the work is verified as complete.
Payment Upon Completion
In most cases, vendors receive payment only after they have successfully completed the approved scope of work. This process helps confirm that expectations are met before funds are released.
When Deposits Are Required
While payment upon completion is the standard, certain projects may require a deposit before work begins. Deposits are typically required when:
Significant labor is needed upfront
Materials must be purchased in advance
The total cost of work is substantial
When a deposit is required, it will be clearly outlined in the vendor’s quote.
Securing Funds in Advance
As a third-party property manager, Green Residential requires that funds be secured from the property owner before contracting with a vendor on their behalf.
If a deposit is needed:
The owner is contacted in advance
Funds are collected before the vendor is authorized to begin work
This process helps prevent delays and ensures vendors can proceed with confidence.
