A Celebration & Remembrance for One of Our Own 

Our post this month is relatively short, but before we get into that we want to take a moment to remember our first and longest running employee, Jennifer Frizzell.  We started this company in 2012, and she was our first hire. She worked with us, and many of you, from then until the end of 2024, with a short 1.5 year break working for a title company in 2019. When she came back, she was the same Jennifer we all knew and loved, and she fell right into place with the team that had grown so much in...

Holiday Hours

As the holiday season wraps up we will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 31st and January 1st for New Year's Eve and Day and will resume normal hours on the following business day.  You can find our holiday closing schedule at this link.

We wish all of you a happy New Year!


Holiday Cooking and Drains

We have received a lot of maintenance requests recently regarding clogged drains and sewer line backups.  The most common cause we find for these are “flushable” wipes which end up being charged back to the tenant.  Please read the following to avoid an expensive plumbing bill:

When preparing the meals we all enjoy during the holidays we generate a lot of food waste.  We want to remind everyone that nothing should be put down the drains or it could result in plumbing charges to you if things get clogged up.  Here is a short article

Burning Smell from Your Heater and HVAC System

Now that temperatures are falling, many of us are firing up our heating systems for the first time in months. For many of you, that first rush of warm air may come with a burning odor. That smell is most common when you turn on your heating unit for the first time of the season. After a long period of time without use, dust and other debris can settle on the heat exchanger, burners and other components. You may get a smoky odor as these particles burn off. Not to worry. That smoky odor shou...

End of 2024 Market Update

In our previous post our Broker, Jason Huval, shared a short video about market conditions.  If you missed that you can see it here.

The data shows that overall the market continues to correct off of its previous highs.  The ongoing sentiment to explain that trend indicates that the population of Austin has slowed or even reversed its growth, and the inventory of rental and homes for sale has increased significantly.  As we’ve mentioned before, when the inventory of sale listings increases it also leads to many owners putting their homes up for rent when they can’t sell them.

Finally, our internal data continues to support the notion that pricing a rental competitively and offering incentives are the best way to prevent long term vacancies. &nbs...

Summer 2024 Market Update

Stone Oak’s Broker, Jason Huval, has put together a brief explanation video above using the latest data from the Austin Board of Realtors. View Full Report

We are very proud of our team, as Stone Oak consistently beats the market average in leasing prices and days on market. Meaning we are getting the highest prices in the fastest time for our landlords. We project that things may cool off a bit more as we move in the Holiday season, but expect to shrug off the slow period as we enter 2025.

Tenant Full Account Ledger

Have you ever wanted to see your history of charges and payments?  We often get requests from tenants for a ledger of their account.  The information is available to you anytime through your tenant portal..  

If you’d like to see that info then in your portal choose Payments from the menu on the left (or top left if on mobile), then look for the Account Ledger section where you can click to “view full account ledger.”  It’s that simple to see your history for the time that we have been managing the property.  Unfortunat...
