Oakland Township resident Dan Flynn recently set off on a mission to put his neighbors back to work. Last month, Flynn launched City Wide Maintenance of Detroit, a management company in the building maintenance industry that manages 25 facility services including janitorial.
Flynn’s entrepreneurial aspirations stemmed from a longing to help his community find work in Detroit’s unforgiving and unpredictable economic climate. Flynn is one of the many new business owners looking to help Detroit get back on their feet.
City Wide Maintenance is a national franchise building maintenance management company, based in Kansas City. Flynn’s new office in Bloomfield Township will serve commercial properties throughout the Northern Detroit Metropolitan region. Local building owners and property management companies now have access to a single-source solution for all of their building maintenance needs.
“We’ve developed a solution to end the frustration that commercial property owners and property management companies in the Detroit area feel about the amount of time and energy they’ve spent managing vendors, fielding service calls and negotiating rates,” said Flynn, president of City Wide of Michigan. “They now have full access to a round-the-clock facility services manager that will procure, schedule, monitor and ensure that all services are performed with our clients’ best interests in mind.”
City Wide has made a name for itself in major U.S. cities by streamlining commercial facilities and maintenance management of more than 20 services through a collection of service providers and alliance partners, including floor care, window washing, janitorial supplies, parking lot maintenance and several others. Taking the onus off building owners and property management companies that typically have to choose separate companies for each task, City Wide eases the selection and management processes for its clients.
Prior to launching City Wide of Michigan, Flynn had a successful career in banking and commercial real estate but became interested in the entrepreneurial opportunity and value that the City Wide model provides customers. In addition to his professional endeavors, Flynn is the treasurer and a board member of the Rainbow Connection children’s charity located in Rochester.
Renee Stevens and Sheryl Forrest have launched a new business. Green Team Organic Cleaning Services specializes in safe, organic, biodegradable cleaning services.
They use cleaning products that contain no harmful toxins or chemicals that will harm people or pets. Their cleaning products disinfect and deodorize while leaving no harmful fumes behind. The locally-owned bonded and insured business provides a cleaner and safer environment. For an estimate, call Renee Stevens at 425-268-9379 or Sheryl Forrest at 425-350-0049 or email greenteam3748(at)gmail.com.
Show of hands: Who likes to vacuum? I'm not raising my hand either. That's why robotic vacuum cleaners have been the stuff of slacker dreams ever since iRobot unleashed the first Roomba more than a decade ago.
Home robots have evolved, and I've been testing out a new Roomba competitor called the Neato BotVac Robot Vacuum 85 from Neato Robotics. I like it, though my experience wasn't completely clean. Models start at $479. My test unit cost $599.
I was especially curious to try Neato because the Newark, Calif., company says it takes advantage of a proprietary laser scanner and navigation software that's based on the same technology Google uses in its driverless cars. After watching Neato plow into a few parked toy trucks in my family room, I'm not sure if I'd ever get into one of those vehicles.

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (PRWEB) April 23, 2014
The Pittsburgh Real Estate Investors Association is looking for vendors who provide services to the Pittsburgh real estate market. The club and its membership are searching for service providers who either deal in property maintenance or investor services.
The Pittsburgh REIA is one of the fastest growing real estate investor clubs in America. The club made up of hundreds of real estate investors from the Pittsburgh metro area and beyond. Each of these investors is engaged in buying, selling, renovating, or leasing property in South-West Pennsylvania. Vendor-members are encouraged to interact directly with investors and develop personal relationships.
There are a number of business types that traditionally benefit from exposure to real estate investors. Among these business types are plumbers, electricians, roofers, landscapers, general contractors and any other building trade. The investors who make up the Pittsburgh centered club own hundreds of properties and are always looking for good contractors in Allegheny, Butler, Beaver, Westmoreland, Armstrong, Washington, Green, and other surrounding counties. Service business providers like real estate attorneys, accountants, internet marketing, printers, direct mail marketing, and janitorial services also do really well with real estate investors.
The Pittsburgh Real Estate Investors Association has a growing list of national retailers who provide discount services to club members. Among these discount providers are Home Depot, Lowes, Sherwin Williams, Sears Commercial, Build-A-Sign, and more than twenty others. Any company that offers a discount to club members on the local level would be a welcome addition to the club. Local restaurants, sports teams, and other business interests that have no relationship to the real estate world are also encouraged to apply. Becoming a vendor partner of the Pittsburgh Real Estate Investors Association is the same as any other marketing that targets an upwardly mobile demographic.
Any local or national company interested in becoming a vendor-member of the club should visit the club’s website at http://PittsburghREIA.com and download the membership application or just follow this link. All applications will be reviewed by a committee of local investors. Each applicant will be evaluated under the following criteria; reputation of the business, area serviced by the business, and utility of the business. Approved vendor-members are entitled to attend all club events. This includes all monthly meetings at the Greater Pittsburgh Masonic Center. These meetings are held every third Tuesday and run between 7:00 PM and 9:00 PM. Vendors may also choose to present classes to the membership about their particular business. The thrust of these classes must be educational in nature and be timed to one hour or less. Vendors can also attend sub-group meeting that are held at various locations around Allegheny County. The sub-groups focus on market niches, and attract smaller crowds of specialized investors. Lastly each vendor member will be permitted to advertise in the clubs online newsletter. This newsletter is emailed to each member of the club. The newsletter is also archived online at the club high
