When considering the option of hiring a real estate management group to handle your rental property for you, it is very important to have an understanding of the types of issues property managers take care of. Often, the peace of mind gained by giving responsibility of your rental property over to a trained professional is worth the fees charged by the company. In order to ensure your property is managed according to your expectations, take some time to think over and list the tasks you most want to be covered by an outside party. The following are a few of the tasks that will be handled by a rental manager.
Marketing
A real estate management Everett professional will take on the responsibility of promoting and advertising your rental property. Many management groups create fliers, hold open houses, advertise their properties in rental magazines, and list their vacant rental properties on their website. The attention a professional marketing campaign can bring to a vacant property can make the difference between a property sitting empty or being filled with a tenant.
Tenant and Occupancy
Real estate management groups handle all aspects of interaction with the tenant who is renting your property. When maintenance issues arise, when a tenant is late with their rent payment, or when a violation of the leasing agreement occurs, the property management company will take responsibility for collecting, repairing, or whatever course of action is necessary. Additionally, if a lease is broken or comes to an end, the management company will be responsible for filling the vacant property with a new tenant.
Facility Management
An additional facet of real estate management is the maintenance of the facilities involved with the rental property. Be sure to discuss whether or not a rental manager is willing to handle things like landscaping, repairs, plumbing, roof, and any other needs of the tenant.
