Management
Property
Preparation
It's no secret that the best-looking
properties attract the highest quality renters. And we know exactly
where to put your money to obtain the highest return. We advise
clients regarding appropriate rental rates, proper repairs, effective
improvements and suitable appliances.
Advertising
In
addition to the "For Rent" sign in the yard and brochures
in our office, we advertise in the local newspaper, on the web
and within the agent referral program.
Certificate
of Occupancy Inspection
We
obtain the necessary C.O. for you to begin renting or leasing
your property.
Tenant
Screenings
Vacancies
are expensive for both you, as the owner, and us, as the management
company. Therefore, we make every effort to keep them at minimum.
We take great pride in the quality of tenants we are able to attract
through set debt-to-income ratios, extensive application screening,
criminal, credit and background checks and reference follow-ups.
Each tenant must have good credit, a clean rental history and
solid employment.
Inspections
& Lease Review
We
complete a move-in inspection with new tenants using a "Property
Condition" report and explain where cutoffs are located,
how systems work and how to handle simple maintenance functions.
We review each lease thoroughly with our tenants and go over company
policy and procedures.
Annually,
we provide a complete interior/exterior inspection of the property
along with a color photo. Maintaining a high profile plays a major
role in making your property a successful investment.
As
tenants move out, we complete a personal inspection and deduct
for damages.
Maintenance
Repairs
Our
repair personnel respond immediately to provide tenants with quick,
effective and legitimate repairs. A good maintenance record creates
long-term tenants, reduces vacancies for owners and insures justified
repairs.
Security
Deposit & Rent Collections
We
collect a security deposit upon the execution of each lease. Applicants
with pets (in pre-approved pet units) are required to pay an additional
pet deposit.
All
deposits are maintained in a FDIC approved account as required
by state real estate regulations until refunded or forfeited to
cover damages.
Rents
are due on the 1st of each month and considered late on the 5th.
Late rent tenants are contacted four times between the 6th and
15th. We are fair to extremely firm.
If
the need arises, we handle all legal issues associated with eviction.
