Spring Into Action with Mars Hill! 

As we step into the beautiful month of April, we’re excited to bring you helpful tips. With the change of season comes new opportunities to enhance your property and home, celebrate the joys of spring, and care for the environment! 

Earth Day-April 22nd: Go Green and Save Green!

Earth Day is a wonderful reminder to focus on sustainability and environmental responsibility. At Mars Hill, we’re committed to helping our tenants and property owners reduce their environmental footprint. Here are some eco-friendly tips to celebrate Earth Day:

✓ Host a community clean-up: Gather a group of friends, family, and neighbors to clean up a local park.

✓ Start or support a recycling program

✓ Go paperless

✓ Walk, bike, or use public transportation

✓ Turn off lights when not in use

✓ Get outdoors and connect with nature: Go hiking, bird-watching and enjoy all that nature has to offer!

A Time for Renewal!

Spring is often seen as a season of renewal and fresh beginnings. The longer days, warmer weather, and blossoming nature reminds us that it’s a perfect time to refresh our lives, our spaces, and even our mindsets. Here are a few ways to embrace spring’s spirit of renewal for our home and ourselves:

Spring Cleaning – power washing patios and driveways

Exterior Spruce-Up – trimming reachable tree limbs and bushes.

Annual checks – checking for winter damage and functioning A/C’s

Personal renewal – for your body, mind and soul with good eating, reading and church!

 

Wishing you a happy April,

Spring Into a Fresh Start!

As the days grow longer and the air fills with the scent of blooming flowers, there’s no better time to refresh your space—inside and out. Spring cleaning isn’t just about dusting off shelves; it’s a chance to clear out the old, make room for the new, and breathe new life into your home (and mind!).

Here are a few quick tips to kick-start your cleaning spree:
Declutter first: Donate or recycle items you no longer need.
Deep clean essentials: Focus on overlooked spots—windows, baseboards, and under furniture.
Bring in nature: Add a few plants for a fresh, vibrant vibe. (Be sure to put plastic bowls or saucers to prevent discoloring to flooring.)

A tidy space can boost productivity, improve your mood, and help you feel ready to take on all the opportunities this season brings. Happy cleaning!

Wishing you a lucky March,

Update from MHRG, February 2025

Updated Landlord and Resident Handbooks

Each quarter, we draw from our extensive experience managing hundreds of leases, renewals, and work orders across Texas, Virginia, and Washington, DC, to update our handbooks with the latest and greatest practices in property management. We’re excited to announce that our 1st quarter handbooks are now finalized and available on our website or through your portal. These handbooks are included in all rental and landlord contracts, offering clear guidance on our policies and procedures to promote transparency and accountability. To make it easy to identify updates, all changes are highlighted in RED.

 

Month of LOVE!

Loving your home means caring for it year-round, especially during cold weather. Preparing your home for winter not only protects it from potential damage but also keeps it cozy and energy-efficient. Start by sealing drafts around windows and doors to keep the warmth inside and the cold out and don’t forget to clear gutters of debris to avoid ice dams. Simple steps like these help you create a comfortable, safe haven that’s ready to weather the chill, so you can truly love this season.  TIP:  To avoid excessive electric bills, lower your thermostat when the temperature is below freezing to avoid using emergency/auxiliary heat systems. 

This February, show Mars Hill Realty Group some love by sharing your positive experiences with friends, family, and online communities. Your referrals and reviews mean the world to us and help us continue providing exceptional service to our clients. Whether it’s a quick shoutout on social media or a glowing testimonial, your support keeps us motivated and thriving.
