**Category:** Property Management · **Complexity:** Simple · **Also known as:** home maintenance subscription, yearly service plan, tiered maintenance program

## Definition

An annual maintenance plan is a subscription-based service where homeowners pay a recurring fee in exchange for scheduled seasonal visits, preventive maintenance tasks, priority response, and discounts on additional services. Plans are typically tiered (Essential, Complete, Concierge) with visit frequency and inclusions scaling by tier.

## Common Questions

### What's the difference between a maintenance plan and calling for service when something breaks?

A plan catches issues early through scheduled visits — fan failures, caulk gaps, gutter clogs — before they become $5,000 emergency repairs. The cost difference compounds over time.

### Does the plan transfer if I sell my home?

Yes — CRM Services maintenance plans transfer to the new owner for the remainder of the paid term, and the home's full service history transfers with it. No refunds, but no lost value either.

## Real-World Example

You'd see this when a homeowner in Vancouver, WA signs up for the Complete tier — CRM Services performs spring and fall visits on a Pacific Northwest envelope checklist, plus dryer vent cleaning, gutter clean-out, and a 10% discount on any repair work needed.

## Why It Matters

Annual maintenance plans are the recurring-revenue backbone of CRM Services and the entry point into the company's full service catalog.
