SERVICES FOR PROPERTY OWNERS

As a HomeSource Property Management client you will also receive the following services:

Advertising:
Aside from placing the property in the MLS, we will immediately place the property on the internet mentioning the details which will most effectively entice a prospective renter. HomeSource also provides a professional “For Rent” sign that we place at your rental property. We encourage locators to show our vacant properties by sending out weekly faxes.

Tenant Screening:
We will thoroughly screen all applicants to your property. We screen tenants by pulling a credit report, verifying their employment as well as their income, and we also interview their last landlord to verify that this prospective tenant was a good tenant and left their last rental property in good standing. Yes, we screen our prospective tenants very hard, but it is as important to HomeSource as it is to you that we place good people into your investment property. The early personal contact that a tenant receives from HomeSource establishes a good dependable relationship.

Maintenance:
We will answer the renter’s maintenance complaints and arrange for repair work. Our tenants have access to a 24-hour emergency number if a problem should arise in the middle of the night. This adds security to the tenant as well as you the investor that we are watching after your property 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That is comforting all by itself.  We do NOT have on-site maintenance staff, so if there are contractors that you have a relationship with, we will contact them.  We do not make money on unnecessary repairs.

Turn-over:
One of the most costly aspects of investment properties is tenant turnover.  Prior to a tenant moving  into a property we conduct a walk through inspection on that property. This way we have on record the condition that the property was in when a tenant moves in. When that tenant leaves we use the same report to check them out. This way there is no confusion on the condition of the property after a tenant leaves.

Monthly Statements:
Each month you will receive a detailed statement on your property. These statements are easy to read and understand. The statement will break down the month’s activity on your investment property. It will show rent collected, management fees deducted, itemized maintenance, and finally your net dollar amount. HomeSource also sends to you a three ring, tabbed binder. This binder is set up for you to organize your statements and maintenance receipts for the entire year. This way your paperwork is organized for your accountant.

Every real-estate investor knows two things: 1) Owning rental property can be a good business with great returns. 2) It can also cause you a ton of grief. Owning rental property should be an enjoyable venture. Why not let a professional management company help you make owning rental properties a relatively trouble free investment.
