How Property Management Works

Evaluation

Our staff is knowledgable in property values, local neighborhoods, and rental markets to advise you on appropriate rental fees for your property. We are thoroughly trained in the inspection of every kind of investment property, from single family homes to condominiums.

Tenant Screening

We take professional pride in finding qualified and quality tenants for your property. In the past few years we've averaged over 500 home rentals a year with an average vacancy of less than two weeks.

Legal Matters

A selection of appropriate standard or custom agreement forms provide legal protection for both you and your property.

Rent Collection & Dispersal

Rents are collected by the fifth day of each month. Rental proceeds and late fees are paid on a predetermined date. In the event of late payments, collection practices are started promptly and evictions, should they be necessary, are handled in a timely and efficient manner to reduce the chance of difficult or costly situations.

Eviction Protection

Evictions can happen to any landlord no matter how well a tenant is screened. Circumstances change in people's lives and they are not able to pay the rent. When this happens the landlord has to go through the costly procedure of evicting the tenant.

Our cost effective program protects our owners from the high cost and time consuming headaches that come with evicting a tenant. For a small monthly fee of $12 per month / per unit, this program covers virtually all the filing fees and court costs for an eviction. This has the potential to save you $300 to $1000+. The only part of an eviction not covered is a jury trial or counter claim, should that be necessary. In the 40+ years we have been handling evictions for our owners, we have never had to go through a jury trial.

Record-Keeping

Each month you will receive a detailed income and expense report. At the end of the year you are provided with a comprehensive statement for your tax records. You always know exactly where you stand regarding income and expenses.

Property Maintenance

Our extensive list of reliable, reasonable and responsible contractors can cover any repairs or maintenance your property may require. Should an emergency arise we provide 24 hour care.
