Property Management
What are the advantages to hiring a property manager?
When you hire a property manager, you don't have to worry about 3:00 a.m. phone
calls from a tenant if something unexpected happens. You also, don't have to
live nearby to make sure your home is being cared for properly because you have
a great property management firm that does it for you.
Who collects the rent every month?
Once you elect to hire a full-time property manager, they collect the rent.
Who negotiates the rental/lease agreements?
As part of your one time rental fee, the property manager negotiates the
agreement, leaving you to focus on other projects.
Who chooses the tenant?
Together, you and the property manager select your tenant. The property manager
supplies you with our recommendation, but ultimately the decision is the
homeowners.
How long does it take to rent or sell a property?
In today's real estate market, some homes rent or sell in a day, where others
may take months. It's up to the homeowner to decide when their property will
rent based on the perceived rental value and the home's condition. When
homeowners are realistic about their asking price and the price is comparable
to the perceived market value, the home may rent or sell before the ink is dry
on the page.
