Property maintenance companies · Home services
Be the caretaker an owner abroad trusts with a flat, a villa or a plot.
An engineer in Dubai owns a flat in Sarjapur that was vacant for four months. A relative checked it twice, and last week a neighbour sent a photo of water marks on the ceiling. Late that night the owner opens Google and searches for property maintenance in Bengaluru, and sends WhatsApp messages to the first three that look real.
Scope, fee, reporting and term are agreed in writing after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
In one paragraph
A property maintenance company looks after homes, villas, plots and rental flats for owners who do not live there. It handles cleaning, repairs, tenant handovers and updates on WhatsApp. GullySales prepares the pages for each kind of owner, a sample visit report and the reply handling for messages that arrive from other time zones.
The buyer is not on the premises and cannot judge the work. What they need is photos, a person who answers, and the sense that nothing will be done without their say-so. A property maintenance company is selling trust at a distance.

How buyers decide
How property maintenance companies are chosen.
The buyer is an NRI, a landlord with several rental flats, a family that has inherited a house, or a retired couple who spend half the year elsewhere. They find a company by search, by a relative's recommendation or by a post in an NRI or alumni group. They arrive with specific worries, such as a tenant who left, a plot being encroached on or a villa that has been shut for months.
They compare how the company reports. A buyer who cannot visit wants dated photographs of each visit, a clear list of what was checked and a written quote before any repair. A company that asks before any repair is weighed above a cheaper one that does not.
The first small job decides whether a care plan follows. A tenant move-out clean or a leaking tap, done properly and photographed, gets a visit to the owner's other property and a recommendation to the owner's cousin.
The problem
What usually goes wrong for property maintenance companies.
What owners tell us on the first call, in their words.
“Owners abroad message us at night and the reply waits for the morning”
A message from Dubai or Singapore reaches us after office hours, and the owner has already written to the next caretaker.
“Our best clients came from referrals and we cannot reach more like them”
We know no way to reach an NRI who has not yet been referred to us.
“Our website lists repairs and cleaning, with no sign of how an owner far away is kept informed”
An owner reading it cannot see what a visit report looks like.
“Small jobs never become care plans”
We fix a tap, send an invoice and hear nothing again until the next breakdown.
“Owners worry we will do work they did not approve”
They have heard stories of caretakers who charged for repairs nobody asked for, and assume we are one of them.
“Rental owners want tenant handovers handled and we are not found for it”
Landlords search for tenant handover and move-out cleaning, and our site does not mention either.
What we do
What we do for property maintenance companies.
Everything included for property maintenance companies.
A page for each kind of owner
Pages for NRI owners, rental landlords, inherited homes and plots, each explaining how you report, what you approve with the owner and what you do not do.
A sample visit report
A redacted example of a visit report showing dated photographs, a checklist and notes, so an owner can see what they will receive.
An approval-first promise written down
A short, plain statement of how you quote, wait for approval and photograph every repair, placed on the site and in your first reply.
WhatsApp enquiry handling that works across time zones
A set reply that states local office hours and the owner's time zone, and a record of every enquiry so a message sent at night is acknowledged and followed up.
A care plan offer after every small job
A short note after a one-off repair offering periodic visits for that property, with the owner's own list of what to check.
Google Business Profile and NRI-directed listings
Profiles that say which localities you cover, with photographs, plus a short introduction for NRI groups and alumni forums.
An owner register of jobs and care plans
One sheet listing each owner by city and type, the first small job done, and whether a care plan for that address followed.
How the result is measured
- Enquiries by source and owner type
- Reply time to WhatsApp enquiries
- First jobs booked from enquiries
- Care plans signed from first jobs
- Referrals received from existing owners
- Tenant handovers booked
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
Every service, written for property maintenance companies
Each has its own page: what it involves for property maintenance companies, what you get, and what it is measured on.
- Lead generationFind the owners who need a caretaker before a leak or a tenant forces the search.
- SEOBe the page an owner abroad finds when they type their city and the word caretaker.
- Local SEOShow up on the map for the city where the flat is, not the city where the owner lives.
- Social media marketingPost the visit, not the logo: show an absent owner what care looks like.
- Content marketingWrite the guide an owner abroad wishes existed before handing over the keys.
- Buyer personasKnow the owner abroad, the landlord and the family before you write one word to them.
- CRMKeep every property, owner and promised visit in one place a colleague can read.
- Follow-up systemsTurn the leaking tap into a care plan with a message the owner actually reads.
- WhatsApp marketingMake WhatsApp the place an owner abroad sees the photographs, the quote and the reply.
- Digital marketingPut the right pages, listings and replies in front of owners who cannot visit.
- WebsiteBuild a site that shows an owner abroad exactly what a visit leaves behind.
Worth a page and a campaign of their own
Periodic visits with photographed condition reports · Tenant move-in and move-out handover · Plumbing, electrical and leakage repairs · Cleaning and pest treatment before occupancy · Utility bill and property tax payment help · Plot checks and boundary caretaking · Farmhouse and garden upkeep · Rental readiness and minor renovation
Priority campaigns
Campaigns for what property maintenance companies most want to sell.
Each one planned around when your buyers decide, and measured against the baseline.
NRI search campaign
Search ads and pages aimed at property maintenance for owners abroad, with a clear explanation of reporting and approval.
Landlord tenant-handover campaign
Local ads and outreach to landlords about move-out cleaning, damage checks and move-in readiness.
Inherited property campaign
Pages and content for families who own a vacant house or plot after a death in the family, written with care and without pressure.
Pre-rainy-season campaign
A reminder to existing clients about checking roofs, terraces and drains on their properties.
Referral campaign
A request after a good visit asking an owner to introduce a relative or friend with another property.
Beyond search
Where we reach buyers of property maintenance companies, beyond Google.
Search matters, but it is rarely the only way this industry's buyers find a supplier.
NRI associations and alumni groups
A short talk and a one-page guide, 'What to ask a caretaker before you hand over the keys', for NRI community groups and alumni pages that allow it.
Real estate agents and rental brokers
A broker who places a tenant is asked who will handle the move-in inspection and later repairs. The partner note covers your handover checklist and approval-first rule.
Interior and renovation contractors
An interior contractor finishing a flat for an owner abroad is asked who will keep an eye on it afterwards. A card with your visit report sample gives them an answer.
Lawyers and chartered accountants
An adviser dealing with a sale, a will or tax filing for an owner abroad meets the question of who minds the property meanwhile. The pack states what you do and what stays with the owner's adviser.
Apartment associations
An association secretary with several locked flats wants a single contact for leaks and key access. A note for the secretary lists how you ask the owner for approval first.

Not for
It is not the right fit if.

- You need enquiries by next week and have nobody to answer them.
- You want posts and reach reported, not enquiries and orders.
How it works
From your first message to the first report.
No open-ended retainer. Every step gives you something in writing.
First
Your brief
You tell us what you need in a few short steps: your business, what you want, where enquiries come from and how they are handled.
After the brief
A conversation and a written scope
We read it, then talk with whoever handles your enquiries. If you want our help, the scope, the fee and the reporting come in writing, and nothing starts before you have read them.
Before work starts
Baseline recorded
The numbers this work is meant to move, such as enquiries, quotations, orders, visits or renewals, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
The fix we agreed to start with is put in place and measured against the baseline, whether that is a reply, a follow-up, a page, a listing or the handover between marketing and sales.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
How the work runs for property maintenance companies
- 1
Read the overnight WhatsApp threads as an owner abroad would
Your WhatsApp threads are read the way an owner in Dubai would read them at midnight: how long the silence is, and whether the first answer asks about the property or only the price.
- 2
Fix the response and reporting
The reply script states office hours in the owner's time zone, the visit report gets a fixed format, and one person owns every enquiry that arrives overnight.
- 3
Write a page for each worry
A flat left to a tenant, a villa shut for months and a plot nobody walks each get their own page, with a redacted sample report on each.
- 4
Reach the owners
Owners abroad are found through search, alumni and NRI groups, and the brokers, interior contractors and advisers they already ask.
- 5
Grow the care plans
After the leaking tap or the move-out clean, the owner receives the dated photographs and a written offer of periodic visits for that same address.
