About FPM
Trusted on Amelia Island since 2011.
Fernandina Property Maintenance, LLC is owned and operated by Dave & Jeri Carter — dedicated to giving homeowners total confidence that their property is being cared for while they're away.
Our story
Dave has a vast knowledge of the home watch business as he wrote hundreds of pages of documents defining this industry and creating best practices and marketing objectives for franchise businesses. He uses his research and expertise to make Fernandina Property Maintenance a step above the average home watch company — and well above relying on neighbors and friends to watch your property investments.
Dave started his business background working with his father as a young man, later managed auto parts stores and distribution centers, worked as an auto parts manufacturers' representative, managed large manufacturers' sales teams, became the Director of Sales for one of the largest auto parts manufacturers in the world, helped merge over 30 corporations, built and owned an e-commerce company, managed salespeople in facility maintenance product distribution, managed contractors for commercial buildings, and even built a home by himself.
Experience & past certifications
When starting this business we elected to inspect and rebuild homes for bank-owned properties. This included regular inspections, cleaning, rebuilding, and doing regular lawn and landscape maintenance.
Former Certified Inspectors
Previously certified for HUD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and other institutions during our bank-owned property work.
Bank-Owned Experience
Deep knowledge of property processes from years of bank-owned property work.
Dave & Jeri Carter
Husband-and-wife team personally serving every client.
Since 2011
More than a decade caring for Amelia Island, Fernandina Beach, and Yulee homes.
Who we are
We understand commitment, integrity, scheduling, and communications at a high level of proficiency. Dave will do most of the inspections and all of the maintenance work.
Jeri also was a certified inspector for bank-owned properties in the past and has implemented the home watching process for many years. She assists with facilitating customer needs with package deliveries, coordinating contractors and other vendors, and handles the bookkeeping for our company.
We no longer participate with bank-owned properties but have learned a great deal about the processes and handling of property management that directly benefits our home watch clients today.
Our goals
- Give you peace of mind while you are away.
- Be your eyes and ears in your absence.
- Be ethical and conforming toward professional standards and conduct.
- Implement efforts that are systematic in nature for each task but also specialized to your needs.
- Quick and clear communications by phone call, texting, emails and photos for services, follow-up, recommendations, and billing charges.
- Establish trust and accountability for home watching and maintenance services.
