MARKETING AND ADVERTISING

Every day your property sits vacant is a day of lost income. The investment in professional management is quickly recouped through reduced vacancy periods. We invest heavily in advertising each month to ensure your property is rented quickly. Your property is showcased on popular rental and classified websites, and a professional "For Rent" sign on the lawn attracts attention from potential tenants driving by. Our skilled leasing agents promptly respond to inquiries about the property, and present your property in the best possible light.

Before launching marketing efforts, our team of experts assists you in two critical areas:

Establishing a competitive rental price based on a thorough analysis of the property's condition, upgrades, school districts, location, transportation access, and local market trends.
Preparing your property for rental by offering advice and recommendations to ensure it's ready for occupancy by high-quality tenants, helping you get your property leased faster.

LEASING SERVICES

Our leasing agents handles the entire lease-signing process with the approved tenant, utilizing our professionally crafted lease agreement and ensuring all necessary contracts are properly executed. During this process, rents, deposits, and fees are collected according to local laws and financial regulations, and all transactions are recorded in your online account for easy access. Additionally, we provide thorough tenant orientation during the lease signing.

To wrap up, the leasing agent conducts a detailed walk-through with pictures and condition notes to document the property's condition. This crucial step helps ensure an accurate comparison when the tenant eventually moves out, allowing for a precise assessment of any changes.

TENANT SCREENING

Choosing the wrong tenant can lead to significant costs that outweigh any savings from self-managing your property. We carefully evaluate each applicant, reviewing their credit score, background, employment status, and rental history. Our rigorous screening process is designed to comply fully with all applicable laws, including the Fair Housing Act and the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

Once we identify the ideal tenant, we arrange the lease signing and perform a detailed inspection of the property’s condition before they move in.

RENT COLLECTIONS

We keep your cash flow flowing each month. Each month, rent is collected and promptly deposited into your account. Our collection methods are professional yet firm, ensuring that rent is gathered efficiently through a structured, timely approach.

Tenants have multiple payment options and incentives to encourage on-time payments, helping them to get their money to you quickly. We also prioritize treating every tenant with respect and fairness, as fostering a positive relationship with them not only encourages timely payments but also ensures better care for your property.

DEPENDABLE MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Maintaining your rental property is essential, but without prompt and cost-effective repairs, your return on investment could suffer. When you trust us with your property’s upkeep, you save both time and money, while ensuring that all repairs are handled professionally by reliable maintenance experts.

We have a vast network of contractors, vendors, who specialize in property maintenance and repairs. Additionally, our exclusive partnerships with top local vendors guarantee the high level of service that our clients have come to expect.

ENFORCING EVICTION WITH LEGAL PRECISION

Even with thorough tenant screening, evictions can sometimes become necessary. Our team is well-versed in state and local landlord/tenant laws, ensuring that if a tenant fails to pay rent on time or violates the lease, we take swift legal action to minimize your expenses and quickly re-lease the property.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Our aim is to help you maximize your income while minimizing expenses. To manage your finances effectively, we utilize a centralized accounting system that tracks all your income and expenses. This comprehensive system offers detailed statements and tax documentation, keeping all your property management financial records organized in one convenient location.
