We will give you a realistic valuation of your property supported by market comparables. As often happens in the industry, we will not provide you an unrealistic value just to get your business – it simply leads to disappointment.
No Forced Reserves
We do not keep your money in reserve for unexpected expenses (unless requested to do so to pay for specific recurring expenses on your behalf). Payments for expenses are made from the next rent payment received
Unless they specialize in it, your local Real Estate agent just doesn’t have the technology, capacity, specializing and resources that we offer such as accepting rent online with credit cards, sending you direct deposit or giving you online statements

The total cost to have your property managed is just slightly more than the typical cost to have a real estate professional lease it and step out of the situation. Add in cost savings for vendors and legal advice and it becomes less expensive!

Signing Up

Leasing
Once you have signed up with us we will get to work immediately to get your property rented. We visit the property to take photos, note all amenities and compose an attractive description for the rental advertising. We will post the property on our website and various others. We will work with interested parties so they may view the property, and then we will process applications to approve a qualified tenant. From that point we will go through the lease signing and move in process to get them settled, including working with the Association, if present. We will handle the security deposit and ensure that all the laws governing the handling of security deposits are strictly adhered to.
Managing
Once the tenant is living in the home we take care of all communications with them including repair requests, rent collection, lease enforcement and every other aspect of the ongoing management of the property and tenant so that you do not need to. We will pay vendors from the rent proceeds and will also look after paying any recurring invoices such as lawn or pool care. The assigned property manager will be your contact and the tenant’s contact. The manager may be reached by any of our phone numbers local to the property and also by email.
Renewing/Re-Leasing
Nearing the expiration of the lease term we will work with your tenant to retain them in the home and negotiate a rent increase based on a market analysis of current rents. Our priority is to retain your tenant to keep costs down and income being generated. Should the tenant need to vacate the home, we will immediately begin marketing the property to limit any down time and secure a new tenant as quickly as possible. A move out inspection and video will be performed upon move out and any damages will be repaired with the costs assessed against the security deposit.
