homes for rent in wellington fl: Another Happy Wellington Rental Client! - 09/01/12 10:32 AM
Another Happy Wellington Rental Client!
I found Michelle through endless online searches and was impressed by her website, information and organization. I needed to rent a home in a 55+ community for my parents who had moved from Connecticut.
Their first agent turned out to be a nightmare and the scramble for some with other agents only showed they weren't familiar or knowledgeable with what we wanted.
Contacted Michelle for insights into certain communities and she responded quickly and with details. She also was quick to alert me about new properties or rate changes for what we were interested in. There were no wild chases … (8 comments)

homes for rent in wellington fl: Should you Justify your Low Rental Offer? - 01/12/12 01:12 AM
Should you Justify your Low Rental Offer? The rental market in Wellington is HOT, HOT, HOT.  The median list to rental price is currently 100%, meaning landlords asking $2,000 a month are getting $2,000 a month.*  However even with those statistics there are still a few tenants who will try to negotiate the rental price with a Wellington landlord and if the tenant has a lot to offer they may be successful, but is it wise to justify the low rental offer? In my opinion the only way to "justify" a lower rental offer is by pointing out the properties flaws; … (10 comments)

homes for rent in wellington fl: Should a Landlord rely on a Tenant to Pay their Bills? - 12/31/11 01:04 AM
Should a Landlord rely on a Tenant to Pay their Bills?
As a Wellington Rental Agent I never recommend a landlord rely on the tenant to pay their bills especially if the bill is in the landlords name;  mortgage, HOA dues, property taxes or even items that need regular maintenance like the pool or lawn.  

Why?  Because if the tenant doesn't pay the landlords mortgage, HOA dues or property taxes THE LANDLORD will be the one held liable.  If the tenant decides to forgo maintaining the pool or lawn because they want to save money THE LANDLORD is the … (10 comments)

homes for rent in wellington fl: NOT all Landlords are Desperate - 09/29/11 10:23 AM
NOT all Landlords are Desperate Lately I have encountered a lot of tenants who act they they're doing the landlord a favor by submitting an offer on their home.  Unfortunately what a lot of these prospective tenants fail to realize is a majority of landlords aren't going to allow just any person to live in their home. I recently had a landlord turn down not one, not two, not three, but FOUR offers. It took this landlord almost two months to find what he considered the "perfect tenant," but he did:  six figure income, 800+ credit, no criminal background, no pets, no … (10 comments)

homes for rent in wellington fl: Why Should a Landlord Pick You? - 09/16/11 08:31 AM
Why Should a Landlord Pick You?It is very important for prospective tenants to understand that first impressions mean everything when renting a home and that first impression is usually the rental offer, so they need to put their best foot forward and let the landlord know why they should accept them as tenants.
Often times tenants who do not put their best foot forward won't be accepted by the landlord.  Unlike a seller who has zero vested interest in their home after they sell it a landlord maintains ownership after tenant moves in, so they want to make sure they pick a great tenant.
A few weeks ago I received an … (16 comments)
