For realtors and property managers

The elevator shouldn’t be what holds up the closing.

A home elevator that doesn’t run, or that nobody can vouch for, makes buyers nervous and gives inspectors something to write up. Modern Lifts checks, repairs and maintains residential elevators for agents, sellers, buyers and property managers across Southwest Florida.

How we help

At every stage of the sale.

Before listing

A condition check so the seller knows the elevator runs properly, and can fix what doesn’t before photos and showings.

During inspection

General home inspectors rarely evaluate elevators in depth. We give buyers and their agents a specialist’s view of the equipment within the inspection period.

Before closing

Repairs called for in negotiations done properly, with a clear description of the work for both sides.

After closing

An orientation for the new owner and a maintenance plan, so the elevator doesn’t become their first surprise.

Out-of-service elevators

Many listings carry an elevator that hasn’t run in years. We’ll tell you what it would take to bring it back, or to modernize it.

After a storm

Assessment and restoration for elevators in homes that took on water, so the listing can move forward.

Property managers

For homes you look after.

Seasonal homes and rentals sit empty for months, and elevators don’t like being left alone in the humidity. We keep the equipment in managed homes serviced on a schedule and respond when a guest or owner reports a problem.

  • Scheduled maintenance without the owner needing to be there
  • Pre-arrival checks before the season starts
  • Storm shutdown guidance and post-storm assessment
  • One contact for all the homes in your portfolio

Why it matters to a sale

An elevator is a selling point when it works

In elevated coastal homes, buyers increasingly expect an elevator, and a working one widens the pool of people who can live in the house.

A dead or neglected one does the opposite. It raises questions about cost and safety that are easy to answer with a specialist’s assessment and hard to answer without one.
