Once a landlord encounters a problem tenant, owning and managing a rental property becomes difficult and time-consuming. One of the most important decisions you’ll make as a landlord is whether or not to hire a property management company. The less a landlord has to deal with problem tenants, the less stress they will have.

Custom property management services
Custom services can be included in any package to fulfill your individual needs. Our “à la carte”, no-contract required, services are as follows:
Owners take a big risk when renting on their own. Great care must be taken to draft a proper lease, and accounting for everything from pets to restricted items and landscaping responsibilities. If the tenant puts holes in the wall or makes other property modifications that were not discussed with the owner, the property manager can make sure the tenant pays for repairs. The worst-case scenarios associated with renting a property are far less likely when working with professional property management.
Also, legal issues are one of the biggest pitfalls for many owners, but a quality property management company will handle all legal matters. Using a property management company also reduces the amount of time a landlord must spend making repairs, chasing down tenants for late rent payments, and enforcing the terms of a lease. In fact, this is one of the greatest advantages of partnering with a management team.
Costly advertising, lengthy background checks, bad tenants, time-consuming repair jobs and the like can wear on even the most motivated owner. A competent property management company can add significant value to your property while alleviating some of the stress. The most important personal benefit of using a property management company is that it allows landlords greater freedom.
Property management services exist to address these very concerns. Inspections, licenses, permits, rent collections, charging and reconciling fees, among other things, are taken off a homeowner’s plate when working with a team of property management experts. While every property owner has different needs and expectations for a property management group, we look forward to providing customers with the information they need to make educated decisions.
In summary, property owners who own several properties and have little experience being an owner or who simply don’t have the time or desire to be a good landlord, should consider hiring a property management company.
