Moreover, in addition to your online account, our expert staff is available to address your queries and collaborate with you to ensure the best possible return on your investment.
Comprehensive Marketing and Advertising
Each day that your property is vacant is money out of your pocket. Professional management costs are easily offset by shorter vacancy times. We spend thousands of dollars every month advertising our vacancies to get them filled – faster. Your property is advertised on high-traffic rental and classified websites. A professional “For Rent” yard sign adds exposure to capture drive-by prospective tenants. Our experienced leasing agents respond promptly to inquiries and advise prospective tenants on details about the property, and show your home in the best possible light.
Prior to marketing and advertising your rental property, our experts also advise you in two important areas:
- Setting a competitive monthly rental rate based on a comprehensive analysis of property condition, upgrades, school districts, location and access to transportation, and area rental market rates.
- Getting your home ready to rent faster, to a high-quality tenant, by providing recommendations and guidance on how to make your property rent-ready.
Thorough Tenant Screening and Selection
Finding the right tenant for your property is crucial, as the wrong choice can result in significant financial and legal ramifications. We meticulously review every tenant’s application by thoroughly assessing their credit history, conducting background checks, verifying employment records, and examining their rental history and residency.
Our screening process prioritizes compliance with all relevant laws, including the Fair Housing and Fair Credit Reporting Act, to ensure fairness and legality. Once we identify a qualified tenant, we coordinate the lease signing and conduct a comprehensive inspection of the property to review its condition prior to the tenant’s move-in.
Full-Service Leasing
Your leasing agent will personally handle the entire lease signing process with the approved tenant. They will use our professionally prepared lease agreement to make sure all necessary contracts are accurately signed. Additionally, your leasing agent will carefully collect rents, deposits, and any applicable fees to follow local legal and financial regulations. Furthermore, all financial transactions will be recorded in your secure online account for your convenience.
In addition, our leasing agent will educate the tenants professionally during the lease signing to ensure they understand their responsibilities and rights.
Finally, the leasing agent will carefully inspect the property’s condition during a detailed walk-through. This thorough inspection will be important for accurately assessing any changes in the property’s condition when the tenant eventually leaves the premises.
Timely Rent Collection
Nothing affects your cash flow more than late or missing rent payments. Every month rent is collected, it is deposited it into your account expeditiously. Our collection processes are professional but tough, and we are extremely diligent in collecting rent through a systematic, timely process.
Tenants are offered a variety of ways to pay rent and incentives for paying rent on time, so you can get your money as quickly as possible. In addition, we treat each tenant respectfully and fairly, as a positive relationship with a tenant leads to timely rent payments as well as better care for your property.
Regular Evaluations
Regular and thorough evaluations of your property, both its interior and exterior, are crucial to ensure that tenants are adhering to the terms of their lease and to gauge the overall condition of the property.
Local Real Property Management offices typically undertake move-in, periodic, and move-out evaluations. The documentation and photographs gathered during these evaluations are invaluable for identifying necessary maintenance and repairs essential for preserving your property’s value and preventing potentially expensive repairs if issues are left unaddressed. These evaluations also play a key role in addressing any potential tenant concerns or issues that may arise in the future.
Cost-Effective, Reliable Maintenance
*Not all services offered at all offices
Maintenance is a necessary expense in owning a rental property, and the return on your investment can be significantly impacted without timely, cost-effective repairs and upkeep. When handled by us, you’ll save time and money and ensure repairs are completed in a professional manner, by trustworthy maintenance personnel.
Each Real Property Management office has an extensive network of contractors, vendors and in-house staff to handle property maintenance and repair work. In addition, our exclusive partnerships with national and local vendors provide the professional level of service to our clients and customers that has come to be expected.
Strict and Compliant Evictions
Even with careful placement, there are times when a tenant may need to be evicted. Our staff is highly knowledgeable in state and local landlord/tenant laws. If a tenant doesn’t pay rent on time or violates the lease terms, we take the necessary legal steps quickly to minimize your costs and get the property leased again.
Inquire about our eviction protection plan. Property owners who choose this option will have the local office cover the costs of the eviction if it becomes necessary.
Comprehensive Accounting
The best part? Leave the finances to us. Our objective is to optimize your income and minimize expenses. We employ a centralized accounting system to monitor your finances, and our all-inclusive accounting and reporting system, along with detailed statements and tax documentation, ensures that all your property management financial information is neatly organized in one place.
At Real Property Management Instant Equity, we offer each property owner client a secure, password-protected online account for effortless access to financial reports at their convenience.
