Owner FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Can I still use my property while it's being managed?
Yes, but we recommend planning around the lease terms. If the property is occupied, access will need to be coordinated with tenants according to local laws. For short-term or vacation rentals, we can help manage owner stays through scheduling. -
How do you screen potential tenants?
We strive to find the right tenant, not just the fastest one. Our high-quality screening process goes beyond a simple credit check. We gather extensive information to evaluate each applicant thoroughly, including credit reports, employment verification, debt-to-income ratios, eviction history, criminal background, and references from previous landlords. This comprehensive approach ensures we place responsible tenants who are more likely to pay on time and care for your property long-term. -
How do you handle property maintenance and repairs?
We prioritize protecting your investment and keeping your tenants satisfied. Tenants can submit maintenance requests through a secure online portal, available 24/7. We promptly coordinate with our trusted vendors to resolve issues quickly and professionally. You’ll receive accurate billing and monthly vendor receipts with your Owner Statement, available anytime in your Owner Portal. From routine upkeep to emergency repairs, our goal is to ensure your property is well-maintained year-round. -
