New Home to Rent First Time or Renewal

Make Ready Services include taking photos and placing the property for lease in the local Multiple Listing Service as well as multiple local and national real estate websites and local advertising. 

We show your home to prospective lessees, perform background and credit checks on applicants that fit the criteria, and present applicants to you for your approval. We prepare the lease, handle communications with the tenant, and collect security and pet deposits on your behalf. All security deposits are held in a separate escrow account.

Each month we process rent payments and send your payment along with a detailed monthly statement.

We keep in regular contact with tenants so we are aware of their intentions to renew the lease. Prior to the renewal we perform a detailed inspection of the property and present our findings to you along with our recommendations for repairs and/or additional security deposit requirements. If the tenant intends to stay, we will manage the process of having any repairs completed and renew the lease. 

If the tenant does not intend to stay, we provide a list of repairs needed to make the property ready for a new tenant, provide a 30-day Notice to Vacate to the current tenant, manage the process of having repairs completed once the tenant vacates, and find a new tenant.

In the event a tenant is not making rent payments when due, monthly late notices are sent. We prepare deposit disposition and request for lien, file Notice to Evict, and file court paperwork for Eviction. All communications with the tenant and court system, and the full process of eviction, are handled by our staff and attorneys

We provide a 24-hour maintenance line for tenants to call to report a problem. Except for air conditioning and electrical issues, we first attempt to troubleshoot with our in-house handyman. Depending on the type of issue reported, we dispatch repair technicians in alignment with your requests (home warranty services, service contracts in place, etc.). 

We inform you of the situation, cost, and possible remediation efforts needed and coordinate approved repairs with the tenant and supplier. We handle the invoicing with the vendors and manage your owner reserves.

A property valuation eliminates this bias. It provides you with an objective analysis based on a series of factors, some of which include:

• Location

• House Size

• Number of Rooms

• Structural Conditions

• Building Presentation

• Other Properties Sales in the Area

By taking these parameters into account, a property valuation will show you how your home ranks in the current market.

With this information, you can then make improvements to your home, possibly increasing its value.

It Helps You Set the Price

Finding the right asking price is trickier than the devil in a poker game.

Set it too high, no one will buy it. Set it too low, you could lose money. So how do you find that happy medium?

Simple, a property valuation report.

It will give you a numeric value for your home. You can then adjust that number higher or lower to determine your price.

It Helps You Find the Right Buyer

Once you know where you stand in the market and what your price is, it’s time to look for a buyer.

Buyers look at valuation reports too. If your property has a high value, you can expect a high volume of potential customers.

With that volume comes competition, one that you’ll win every time regardless of who buys your house.

Buyers want to get the most for their money.

If they read in the valuation report that your house has high value at a reasonable price, they will trip over themselves trying to get it, often offering above your original number

We provide you with a quarterly properly inspection report, including photos and updated inventory checklist. We also perform a monthly drive-by inspection and note any possible issues. If warranted, we provide notice to the tenant of any breaches of the lease and follow-through for correction. 

When you entrust us to manage your property, we handle everything for you in a thorough and professional manner.
