Properly’s Remote Inspection service goes beyond the app. Their optional Remote Inspection team is the secret weapon that helps me manage multiple properties without the stress.

My usual cleaning service closed during the holidays, but by using Properly, I was able to plug a new cleaner in without even meeting them to do a walk-through.
