You have many choices when selecting a property management company; it should be a company you can trust and truly brightens your life. While our approach makes us a great fit for some, we aren’t a perfect fit for everyone. Please watch the quick video below to see if we are a good fit for you.
If you are thinking we may be a good fit and are interested in what the next steps are, we encourage you to:
When searching for a property manager, naturally you’ll have many questions like “what does a property manager do? How much is this going to cost me and what can I get for rent? How will you get me a great tenant? All property managers look the same to me; what makes you different? How does this work (timeline, major steps, my involvement)? What are the next steps?
In a nut shell, choosing us to manage your property is as easy as sharing some info about you and your property, handing over keys and telling us where to send the direct deposit each month. We take care of all the rest!
As investors ourselves, we know what it takes to get your property rent ready. We will take the following steps to evaluate your property and get you the highest return on investment (ROI):
We know how to get your property rented quickly. In fact, we guarantee it. Our robust marketing and leasing process and system tracks every tenant prospect we receive. We advertise your property on our website and Facebook page, yard signs, and the highest-ranking websites like Zillow, Trulia, Hotpads, Zumper, Realtor.com, and Rentals.com, among others. We are quick to follow-up with every prospect and show them the home the same day (vacant properties).
Whether you’re a DIY landlord or a professional, tenant screening is one of the easiest areas to make a very costly mistake. It’s far too easy to make a poor tenant selection or inadvertently violate Fair Housing or local laws. This is where we can add incredible value and mitigate risk to your property. Our five-stage screening process is one of the best in the industry. Even with this incredibly thorough screening process, most applicants are screened within 1-2 business days.
Tenant screening starts before we even meet the tenant. We want to make sure that if a tenant prospect calls for a showing, they know they are a viable candidate. We achieve that by thoroughly describing and photographing the property so the tenant knows all the property details before we call. We also use the amount of required move-in funds to screen out prospects who don’t have much cash in the bank.
We capture very valuable information on our first contact with the prospective tenant. Whether they email or call, we document every interaction, looking for the red flags only years of experience talking to thousands of tenants can spot.
Prior to a prospect applying, we share the application criteria with them, which gives them an opportunity to self-select out if they know they don’t meet our criteria.
If a prospective tenant delays the application & verification or lease signing process, it’s a red flag not to be ignored. Timely follow-through in this stage of the relationship is strongly correlated with timely payment of rent and adhering to the terms of the lease.
When we approve a tenant, we have a rigorous process to quickly get the required funds and documentation.
We perform routine evaluations complete with photos and post them to your portal so you always have piece of mind about how your property is being managed.
Evictions are very rare but starting the process for non-payment of rent or other lease violations is an important service we offer to our clients. Traditional property managers make the owner pay for this service but this is a cost we cover on most plans with our eviction protection. We hire attorneys who do several hundred local evictions a day. They are very good at what they do.
We work hard to minimize tenant turnover as it can be your biggest expense as a rental property expense.
To maximize rent coming in, we typically list a property for rent well in advance of the current tenant moving out.
We offer three different full-service management plans. We never want you to be surprised by a fee, so we disclose everything up-front. Our plans start at 7.9% of the monthly rental amount. We can work together to pick a plan that you think will work best for you and your property.
While our relationships with our clients run much deeper than a piece of paper, we all want clear expectations on what that relationship will look like, who is responsible for what, etc. We’ve created a sample management agreement that shows you the nuts and bolts behind our various guarantees and warrantees.
