The condition in which we receive tenant placement properties differs slightly from the condition that we can take properties for the full-time management service. In order for us to begin the tenant placement service, you must hand your property over to us rent-ready. Rent-ready is defined as:
- All appliances in working order
- Property is completely cleared of all previous occupant’s belongings
- Property has been deep cleaned
- Interior paint is in good condition
- Overall condition of the property meets our standard of excellence
We’re here to communicate value and drive desirability. That requires a keen insight into market trends and an understanding of the latest tools and technology. We will put your home’s best foot forward in our marketing phase, which includes:
- Professional photography
- 3D virtual tours on both Zillow and our website
- Enhanced listing on numerous real estate websites including our own SEO optimized website, Zillow, Trulia, HotPads, Apartments.com, Facebook, Instagram, and so many more
- Full-sized professional real estate signs
- Attention-grabbing flyers that will be placed in either brochure boxes on yard signs or in the home
- Key performance indicators of website traffic, paid advertising, and social media analytics
- Professionally shown by our property managers or licensed realtors
One of the most important steps in ensuring a pleasant renting experience is finding the right renter. Our application qualifications allow us to select the most highly qualified tenant to place into your home. Our tenant screening service includes:
- Credit check for a minimum FICO score of 680
- Income verification with a minimum gross monthly income of three times the rent
- Employment verification
- Landlord reference check
- Online and physical applications
Having a lease that covers all of the legal bases is extremely important to have as a landlord. The lease process includes:
- A lease that is approved by the California Apartment Association, is updated every year as the law changes, and is reviewed by a panel of attorneys
- Drafting, reviewing, and signing the lease with the incoming residents
- Collection of deposit and the first month’s rent
- Handing over keys
- Handing over the application(s), signed lease, deposit, and first month’s rent to the owner
