Golden Rule residential property managers know the challenges of property management first-hand because they are property owners themselves.
So let’s look at some common property management challenges together:
- screening tenants- Getting the right tenants is essential for your residential real estate success. Our team takes care of advertising, screening, and securing the best tenants for your space. Golden Rule advertises your property(s) on several websites including Craig’s List, Lovely, Apartments.com, Rent.com, Trulia, and Zillow at no additional costs to you. Our current vacancy is less than 5% on most properties. We put time and money where we’ll get results and continue to research new tools to aid in our marketing efforts.
- maintaining occupancy- If your space is vacant, you are losing money. We keep your unit(s) filled with quality, paying, tenants. Our average occupancy rates exceed 95%. You own rental property as an investment. But the only way to guarantee continued returns on your investment is to ensure the property is leased and in high demand with a waiting list. In a competitive rental market, incentives can make a big difference in filling units. We use move-in incentives as deemed necessary.
- maintenance, repair- A poorly maintained rental property is a liability. Regular maintenance keeps things running smoothly, people safe, and your tenants happy. In fact, just by being proactive with maintenance, you’ll keep your tenants longer and have fewer problems. Golden Rule is able to give you a labor price on nearly all unit turn items so you won’t have to worry about cost overruns. And due to volume purchasing, we get 5-20% off at Home Depot and Lowe’s. Always, we pass these discounts on to you. Also, we get great 15 mil Vinyl wood grain flooring at a great price. Our competent, reasonably priced vendors/contractors enjoy working with us. So when something needs attention, we can provide the most immediate response possible.
- accounting- Few people love accounting. So we make it easy for you and keep financial facts clear. This way, you can budget and prepare for your future. We understand the nuances of property management, assessments and changes to the law. We are happy to answer your questions, as well as handle any and all tax disputes on your behalf.
Based on our personal experiences hiring property managers to manage our own properties, we found ourselves desiring more responsive, proactive and honest property management services. Those able to meet or exceed our expectations were few and far between. That’s why we decided to go into the business of property management ourselves; to do it the way we knew it should and could be done.
Remember, Golden Rule residential property managers apply the
same integrity we use for ourselves.
It’s our Golden Rule Real Estate Team promise to you.
