Rental property Owners FAQ's and our policies part 2

PROPERTY PRESENTATION
We present your property to the largest available rental market.
We are always aware of current market conditions. This allows us to rent your property at its highest value.
Our computer system enables us to maintain an exhaustive list of all the features that make your property desirable and special.
We minimize your rent loss by advertising a vacant property through the Association of REALTORS Multiple Listing Service, on our web site on the Internet, and in the Florida Today Newspaper.
We use a broad range of advertising media, including signs, flyers, newspaper classifieds and the Internet.
We share our vacancy listings with other Real Estate offices. We pay a commission promptly to agents who show and rent our homes.
PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
Our main job is to protect your investment property. We do this in two different ways. Our property manager makes frequent driving tours by the various properties we manage. Exterior inspections are very important, because a property that is well maintained on the outside is normally being taken care of on the inside, too. In addition, we make necessary preventive maintenance inspections of the interior of the property.
TENANT SCREENING
We lease only to qualified, responsible tenants.
We are experienced in judging credit worthiness.
We do a thorough credit and reference check before the lease is signed. This includes checking credit history with the credit bureau, verifying employment, checking all appropriate references including past landlords, and an eviction history.
We take time with each new tenant to explain the benefits and responsibilities of leasing a home from us.
We provide you with protection through the use of proper lease agreements, addendums, deposit forms, late notices, and other legal documents.
We take fair and appropriate security deposits.
PROPERTY PROTECTION

MAINTENANCE
