Frequently Asked Questions
- Owner-to-Owner Attention: Each client works directly with our leadership team, not an entry-level coordinator. This hands-on structure allows for faster response times and decision-making, clearer communication, and full transparency.
- Singular Focus on Property Management: Unlike other management companies who split their attention between sales commissions and property management, we are dedicated exclusively to property management. This gives our Owner Clients a level of focus, speed, and operational precision that mixed-service firms cannot match.
- Full-Service w/ Competitive Pricing: We provide a comprehensive suite of services offered by larger firms – leasing, 24/7 maintenance coordination, financial reporting, and compliance oversight – while maintaining a competitive, transparent fee structure. We provide top-tier service without charging inflated corporate rates.
We provide comprehensive property management services, including marketing and leasing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, legal compliance, financial reporting, and more. We tailor our services to meet the unique needs of each property owner.
We conduct thorough tenant screenings based on three criteria:
- Credit history: We obtain a credit report for all tenants. We look for any delinquent payments, defaults, bankruptcies and liens.
- Rental history: We will obtain a national eviction report for every applicant. We will review up to three prior residences reported by each applicant and may contact former or current housing providers to inquire as to an applicant’s rental history and good standing.
- Verification of income and / or employment: We are seeking applicants that can show a combined (if multiple applicants) income of 2.5x (two and a half times) the monthly rent amount. We will request paystubs or comparable proof of income and / or employment and may contact former or current employers to inquire as to an applicant’s income and to verify employment.
Our fees typically include a management fee, which is 8% of the monthly rent (minimum $200), and a leasing & marketing fee, which is 80% of rent. There are no fees while the property is vacant. We net our fees against the rent we collect from the tenant, limiting the out of pocket expense to you.
Our maintenance coordination team is available to tenants 24/7 for any issue – big or small. Tenants can submit requests through their online portal or by calling our 24/7 emergency line. Once a request is received, our team will first troubleshoot the issue with the tenant and then dispatch a trusted contractor if needed. We work with a reliable network of vendors to ensure repairs are handled promptly, cost-effectively, and with appropriate priority given to emergencies.
We stay up-to-date with local and state landlord tenant laws and ensure all aspects of property management comply with these regulations. In case of eviction, we handle the entire process, from serving notices to representing you in court, if necessary.
We provide detailed monthly financial reports, including income statements and expense reports. Owners have access to an online portal where they can view these reports and monitor their property’s financial performance in real-time.
We use a multi-channel marketing approach, including online listings on major rental platforms, social media advertising, and professional photography to attract a large pool of potential tenants quickly.
We focus on maintaining positive tenant relationships through prompt maintenance responses, regular communication, and by providing a clean and well-maintained living environment.
