How Stamps.com levels up property management

Jim Mahoney, owner of Jim Mahoney Real Estate, manages four rental properties in California and Arizona. After being in real estate for over 40 years, he’s proud to have built a business that lets him focus on his life outside of work. Working with Stamps.com makes it even easier for Jim to stay compliant, on top of bills, and in contact with his tenants.

Perfecting the process

Jim started using Stamps.com a little over 20 years ago, around the time his real estate business became his sole focus. For him, it was an obvious choice compared to standing in line at the post office every time he had to send a check or a document.

Though most of his mailing, specifically checks, has gone digital, Jim keeps Stamps.com for everything that can’t be done online. From certain mortgage checks to tenant notices, the convenience of Stamps.com is worth it for Jim. He even uses it for sending personal mail to friends that live abroad.

His home office is more organized now as well: Instead of storing rolls of stamps or using a postage meter, he keeps a small stack of labels, envelopes, a thin scale, and some Netstamps® next to his computer and printer, keeping his mailing process simple and efficient.

A certified success

One of Jim’s go-to Stamps.com features is sending with Certified Mail®. For important documents like eviction notices, there are strict legal guidelines that must be followed. By sending certified, Jim can prove 30-day notices were delivered on time, keeping him covered in case a situation escalates.

The best part? It’s as easy as sending non-certified mail. He pays the price of Certified Mail™, prints his envelope, fills out the certified slip, and the notice gets picked up with the rest of his outgoing mail.

When he’s not managing properties in the U.S., Jim loves traveling to Thailand and reaps the benefits of staying organized and saving time with Stamps.com, allowing him to be financially independent and to spend time traveling and doing what he loves.
