LEASING
We do not consider the act of locating a willing tenant to
be the only objective of leasing. Our service is designed to ensure
a success oriented Landlord/Tenant relationship by doing the proper
work in the beginning.
Here is what you can expect:
The property will not be taken off the market until a lease is signed
and deposit paid. We do all the marketing, including a published and
mailed rental list, entry on several bulletin boards, newspaper and
other advertising. We arrange and perform all showings. We cooperate
with many of the local brokers & sales agents for lease showings
(paying them a commission for an accepted tenant). Once we receive a
completed, signed application, the qualification process begins. We
do a background investigation (such as an employment verification),
check references and obtain credit reports. Assuming all goes well,
we prepare the lease, get all prorations, first month’s rent and
security deposit. Our fee of one month's rent will be deducted from
the monies collected from the tenant at the lease inception. Prior to
possession we will make arrangements to transfer the appropriate utilities
and perform a detailed inspection report on the property to document
the existing physical condition of the property. We review the Lease,
the Landlord Tenant code, and general procedures with the tenant at
the time of signing. Any proceeds to be credited or forwarded and copies
of documentation will be sent to the owner in about two weeks, completing
our Leasing service.
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
The prime objective of our management service is to minimize
the owner's inconvenience while maximizing and maintaining both the
income and overall property value. Many of our customers are overseas
or corporate transfers that intend to again live in their homes upon
returning to the area. For this reason employers frequently recommend
our services and reimburse the owners for our fees. Our management service
is so successful because of our time proven methods. We handle all communication
with the tenants as though it were our own, thus shielding the owner
from unnecessary contact with them.
Any expenses, routine payments like mortgages, civic assoc. fees, etc.,
or random expenses like repair costs are recorded and accounted for
on a monthly basis and sent to you in the form of a journal (see sample
journal here).
Some of the many routine functions of these important services are:
A) Rent collection
B) Repair and maintenance coordination
C) Lease enforcement
D) Routine inspections and recommendations
E) Fully computerized monthly statements and accounting
F) Communication with the owner on important issues
G) Lease renewals
COLLECTIONS
Many owners come to us with a property that they rented out
for some time prior to hiring us. Often there are bad experiences and
debts owed from the tenants or prior tenants. Our company handles all
notices and can handle court procedures in a collection process. We
collect on prior judgments on a fee basis.
MAINTENANCE
Our maintenance department is responsive on a 24 hour basis,
plus they are professional, technically educated, licensed and insured.
They have a broad basis of both basic and specialized fields. Anything
beyond the scope of our maintenance staff's individual scope is contracted
out to proven reliable and fair independent contractors.
We take all maintenance calls from extermination to broken pipes. Because
we have our own maintenance crew, we are able to fix/repair many things
in a cost/time effective matter.
