.        Propertyware

Introducing Propertyware Property Management Software.  We are now using this for all our rental properties.  With this software, you as the owner can access your property any time of the day or night via Internet and check the status of payments and or maintenance requests. Tenants can also use their own portal to make requests for repairs and communicate with us at a moments notice.

We will never send a potential tenant to your home without a representative (Realtor) from our office or with permission to another Realtor through our MLS service. This can be a tremendous liability to you.  We will never jeopardize your property by this practice. Many property management/leasing companies are resorting to this practice, possibly to make up for low balling their prices to get work.  We all know the Lowest is not always the best and you usually get what you pay for. 
 

Q&A for our Property Management Services

How do you handle tenant Placement for our rental home?

This is the most challenging but yet crucial part of property management.  It is our top priority to find quality, responsible tenants.  The right tenant for your rental property will make or break your experience as an investor.  How your property is cared for is of the utmost importance to our company.  Our process begins with thorough investigations of potential renters.  We are prudent in performing county and state criminal background checks, credit checks, acquiring job references, and previous landlord and personal references.  After we collect this information, we share it with you along with our recommendation.  You make the final decision. 

How is Maintenance issues handled? 

Our company is a licensed handyman service.  This provides a more cost effective, efficient and manageable service for our rental properties.  Our award winning system works almost flawlessly.  From the time of reporting through our automated system or calling into the office directly, we are notified of the issue and either refer the problem to our on-call person or to the appropriate contractor.  All our contractors are licensed, insured and certified.  They are preferred vendors only after passing our stringent pre-qualification process.

What Are Your Fee's?

Our fee's are based on a percentage basis.  10% of your rental charge is our normal fee.  This includes collection of rents, utilization of our Propertyware Management system, tenant relations, move-in/move-out inspections.  We want to insure that the rental property is cared for on an on-going basis so we complete an interior inspection with photos quarterly.

How Much Time Does It Take To Rent your Home?
