If you own rental property, ask yourself these questions:

• Are you forced to keep up with the ever-changing fair housing laws and other legislation regarding tenancy, including lead-based paint and toxic mold policies? 
• Are you concerned about the possibility of a tenant suing you...and winning? 
• Do you have to deal with the collection of rents, late payments, and bounced checks? 
• Do you dread confrontation with tenants, trying to convince them to take care of the property better or start paying their rent on time? 
• Do you cross your fingers, hoping that you won't have to deal with the move-out / advertising / move-in process that occurs between tenants? 
• Do you struggle with the process of advertising and showing your vacant home, interviewing tenants, taking applications, and running credit and background checks? 
• Do you sometimes feel that you spend all of your time collecting checks, paying vendors, and performing all of the accounting necessary on your rental?

Here are some of the things we do for you:

• Keep on top of regional, state, and federal landlord/tenant law and legislative issues facing property owners and tenants. 
• Track vacancy rates, vacancy factors, time-on- market, and rent values for the area, and effectively market your home with print and the Internet. 
• Create and maintain relationships with qualified vendors, including painters, roofers, electricians, plumbers, appliance repairmen, handymen, and more. 
• Provide appropriate rental applications and forms that, along with a consistent screening process, ensure the highest quality tenants while conforming to all applicable laws. 
• Provide a lease agreement that covers your property well, collect and account for rents, and confront tenants to enforce the terms of the lease. 
• Perform complete accounting for your property, to ensure a maximum return on your investment and optimum tax benefit.

Why should I rent from your company?

We are a professional, knowledgeable, and courteous property management company. We work very hard to provide the highest quality resident services you'll ever experience. 

• We use professional vendors (painters, handymen, plumbers, carpet cleaners, etc) to ensure that your unit is in good condition. We inspect the work performed to ensure that everything is ready before you move in. 
• We are available 24 hours a day to handle emergency maintenance repairs. 
• We provide detailed Move-in and Move-out Inventory forms for proper documentation of the condition of your rental. 
• All deposits that are retained by us are kept in a FDIC insured bank. 
• When you sign your lease, you have a meeting with your property manager to go over all parts of the lease to help ensure that everyone is aware of their responsibilities under the lease. 
• All our property managers are licensed real estate professionals according to state requirements.

How do I apply to rent?

Check out our application guidelines to be sure you qualify, then complete our application form and submit it to us along with the application fee for the home you want. We'll process it and let you know the results.

Will I sign a lease?

Yes, for most of our properties you will sign a 12-month lease that covers our responsibilities to each other throughout our tenancy. We will go over each part of the lease to ensure you understand it. After your application is accepted, your deposit is received, and your lease is signed, we'll hand you the keys to your home!

1. Why should I use a professional to manage my home?
2. Can I choose to disallow pets, smokers, large families, etc.?
3. Do you provide me with a report of activity on my property?

Why should I use a professional to manage my home?

While the reasons our clients choose professional management vary, here are some of the key reasons many people elect professional management over self-management: 

• We handle maintenance and emergency repairs, allowing you to sleep at night. 
• We enforce collection of rents and serve the proper notices upon failure to pay. 
• We understand and apply the correct federal, state, and local laws, keeping you and your investment out of trouble. 
• We know the local market, have an extensive network of contacts, and have advertising resources available to us at discounted rates. This allows us to effectively market your vacant home to prospective residents to get it filled. 
• After you add up the increased rent we can often command, the discounts you'll receive on advertising, and the company rate we get on repairs, you'll often make more money than if you managed the property yourself!

Can I choose to disallow pets, smokers, large families, etc.?

We comply fully with the Fair Housing Act. This means that you cannot choose to disallow anyone that is a member of a protected class under the act. You can choose to disallow pets and not permit smoking in your home, but you cannot deny a service animal. If you have additional questions on the specifics of the Fair Housing Act, please see our fair housing page.

Do you provide me with a report of activity on my property?

Yes, we will provide you a monthly report of rent and other income received, and maintenance, repairs, and other expenses incurred. This will be provided once per month. If you have questions regarding your statement, please do not hesitate to contact us.
