You should always honor any brokerage agreement you’ve made. That said, many companies will let you cancel a property management agreement at any time without penalty, so go ahead and discuss it with them. 

Zero. You do not have to pay us a dime until your property is leased to a qualified tenant and the first rent payment is in our hands. At that point we collect the tenant placement fee (leasing commission) and begin to collect the monthly management fee. However, if your property requires work to get ready to rent you will need to fund your account with us to accomplish that work.

Absolutely! We use highly-rated national screening services to check out a rental prospect’s credit history, criminal background, and eviction record. We also check references from former landlords and verify current employment as well as job history.

Yes we do. We conduct “eyes on” semiannual inspections, inside and outside, of every property we manage . This allows us to assure that there are no developing physical issues with the building and that the tenant is keeping it clean and has no unauthorized occupants or pets.

If a tenant is late we pursue them relentlessly until they pay. If all else fails, we proceed with swift eviction and collection efforts. However, we don’t need to do this very often since we are careful to select only tenants who meet our high standards.

Our standard management fee is 10% of rent collected. The fee is reduced to 8% if the owner has a portfolio of five or more rental units.

Most maintenance issues are handled by our own professional technicians at a rate of $68 per hour. This includes wages, insurance, tools, vehicle and gas… everything! The charges may be higher for after-hours emergencies, but we only respond to genuine emergencies that threaten persons or property.
