We offer owners "peace of mind" with competent leasing and management solutions. We take care of the day to day details of managing property and do it very efficiently. We offer some guarantees that traditional "fee-based" property managers don't offer (see Guaranteed Rent Program page).
We advertise the property, screen for the "best of the best" tenants, lease up the property, collect rents, coordinate and resolve all maintenance and repairs, handle any non-payment issues, and renew existing leases. ALL WITH MINIMAL EXPENSE.
So how can we do this with minimal expense? Because we have an effective management system in place which solves most tenant problems that so many less experienced landlords have. It took years to develop and now you can reap the benefits. Let's address some common problems that landlords have and how we solve them to make your property more profitable with a lot less headaches.
Will the rent get collected on time?
Receiving rents ON-TIME is essential to our management program so that owners receive their rent right on schedule. To accomplish this, we share expectations with the tenant and have the importance of paying the rent on time reinforced BEFORE they occupy the property. We enjoy the good relationships we have with our residents which is based on mutual respect and a "team" philosophy (not your typical landlord-tenant adversarial relationship).
There are no grace periods in our lease and we have firm, but fair late penalties. Our lease is specifically designed with incentives to motivate tenants to pay their rent on time without exceptions. Just by making a few small changes in our lease solved most collection problems. And who needs problems? With the rents received on the first day of the month, we are able to electronically transfer the owner their rent when due without delays.
How will I know that the tenants won't tear up the property?
This is the #1 concern that we hear from owners, will the tenants tear up the property? With all the horror stories of tenants destroying property, many owners are reluctant to rent out their house. Although no one can guarantee that a tenant will not damage a property, truth is, we have a very thorough screening process to help insure that a bad tenant will be someone else's horror story, not yours. We are very selective in who we put in the homes we manage. Simply put, we want the "best of the best" tenants who have the move-in funds we require and will take care of the valuable house and make it a home.
So how do we do this? Screening for a responsible tenant with the right moral code is the absolute key! We run credit checks, background checks, criminal checks, employment checks, rental history checks, plus a few other screening criteria. We do not illegally discriminate against a protected class, but we have developed a thorough screening process that the applicant must obviously pass to qualify for the "best of the best" status that we look for in order for them to move in and get the "keys to the castle".
Will the property sit vacant?
We understand how costly a vacancy is and treat all vacancies with a sense of urgency. Your property will get the personal attention it deserves to limit any vacancy expense. When leasing up your property, we will use aggressive marketing strategies and have a technique that will get your house rented extremely fast with rents coming in ON TIME.
We use a combination of signs, web sites, internet ads and a few other creative techniques that will make your property stand out from the competition. Our signs are custom designed which pulls applicants in to get your house rented quickly. Our goal is to attract attention and increase activity so that we can be selective in choosing the very best applicant.
Are costly property management fees necessary to have a professional manager?
If a good property management system is in place, high fees and commissions should not be necessary. Why? Because with a well run management system, the time and aggravation to manage property effectively is greatly reduced.
We are not a traditional property management company with a traditional "fee-based" structure. Why? Because we found that it is less efficient and way too costly. Our leasing structure is more beneficial and saves the owner considerable money in avoiding costly management fees.
Our management program is specifically designed to have tenants pay on time, take care of the property, get along with the neighbors, and stay a long time. We understand that owners are tired of being nickeled and dimed to death by many property management companies. Because our management program is effective, we typically don't have to chase down rents so it takes us less time to manage tenants. The result, you don't pay expensive management fees.
You'll always know how your property is performing. Isn't it frustrating to have bad communication with a management company when there is a problem or when rents have stopped? There's nothing worse than having a problem with your phone calls un-returned left wondering what the heck is going on. We return calls promptly and you will also be emailed statements on how your property is performing month after month.
How to enjoy the good life with rental property.
We found that owners of rental property simply want the job done and not worry about it. Bottom line, if you want to receive more income without tenant problems, vacancies and expensive fees, then just leave the management to us. Our job is to screen for the best tenants, rent up the property, collect the rent, and save you money on the maintenance. Your job is to receive rental cash flow without problems.
Whether you need reliable leasing and management or solutions to a real estate problem, we are here to help. Please call me personally at 813-925-7055. I'll explain the additional benefits you'll receive that a traditional property management company just doesn't offer.
Thanks for reading and enjoy the website.
