Maintenance

How we keep your maintenance costs under control:

• No in-house maintenance, only licensed and insured independent contractors
• Estimates provided for owner approval on all repairs above the dollar limit YOU set
• Full documentation by repairmen of any repair caused by tenant negligence or abuse, so that tenants may be held responsible
• Online and printed support for tenants with instructions and recommendations on preventative maintenance Coordination of common problems over the phone when a repair person is not needed.

How we fill vacancies

Timely placement of qualified tenants is critical to your bottom line. When a 30-day notice is received, we spring into action. You get:

• Immediate owner notification
• Professional recommendation regarding rent amount
• Professional FOR RENT sign placed at the property
• All free advertising is immediately started when a  notice has been received
• Comprehensive use of the Internet, including craigslist, rentalhomesplus and many other sites, for maximum National exposure
• Showings that are flexibly scheduled to accommodate tenants
• A thorough professional lease to safeguard your interests

Inspections

Drive-by inspections with a written report may be performed regularly. We also produce a complete digital photographic record of the property at each interior/exterior inspection at no extra charge.

General interior/exterior inspections are conducted when we take over management, when we move tenants in and out, when roommates move out, approximately six months after each new tenant moves in (to get a feel for how they care for the property), and at least annually thereafter

All inspections are standard to our service and are provided at no additional cost to you.

Among other things, we check furnace filters, smoke detectors, CO2 detectors, grout/caulk, glass and screens, all kitchen and bathroom plumbing, and much more. If a problem is found to exist, we can quickly implement corrective action. Through this policy, we feel that unnecessary repair expenses can often be diminished or eliminated.

Bookkeeping

We send owner funds with a detailed accounting statement earlier than most Gearhart management companies on or about the 10th of every month. We can provide you with funds even quicker through direct deposit to your account. We will also provide you with a 1099 and cashflow/expense report every January. This makes tax time easy and accurate!

We will attempt to resolve the issue or we can work in tandem with our eviction service provider to process an eviction to get possession of your property restored to you.
