Why Use A Property Manager
Together,
Chandler Scarborough and The Rental
Office, Inc. have the experience and resources to
keep you worry-free.
KNOWLEDGE
OF THE MARKETPLACE
Our property managers are trained professionals. We know
what comparable properties are renting for, and we know
what the market demand is. So, when we arrive at what is
considered fair market value for your home, we aren't just
guessing. We know.
FAMILIAR
WITH RELEVANT LAWS
Through our involvement with the Tidewater Association of
REALTORS® and the National Association
of Residential Property Managers, we stay on top of developments
that effect your rental property. The amount of paperwork
and all the legal issues that must be addressed can be overwhelming.
We help you through it all. We are familiar with both the
Virginia Landlord and Tenant Act and the Federal Fair Housing
laws, so we can help you to avoid legal problems.
REACHING
MORE TENANTS
You may not be reaching many qualified tenants if your home
is not properly marketed. Our experience in marketing and
lease negotiations enables us to find tenants faster and
to reduce your loss of income from vacancies. When a house
is for rent "By Owner" tenants usually expect a lower price
and less scrutiny of their financial history. If you do
not properly screen new tenants, you increase your risk
of ending up in court trying to recoup past-due rent and
other damages. We thoroughly investigate tenants to ensure
they are financially qualified -- which could save you money
in the long run.
LESS
WASTED TIME
Trying to show your home to potential tenants can be an
inconvenience, and often many of the callers don't actually
show up for their appointment. Potential tenants often expect
a fast response. If they have to wait to see the house on
your schedule, they may lose interest before they ever see
it. Our properties are shown by a Leasing Agent
who can pre-screen potential tenants and who can show the
property at whatever time is most convenient for the potential
tenant.
A
LOCAL PRESENCE
Once your home is rented, your property manager will keep
an eye on your property while you are away, to ensure that
the tenants are taking care of it. Having someone local
means that any problems found can be found and corrected
faster.
MAINTENANCE
EXPERIENCE
We handle both routine repairs and emergencies. Because
of our extensive experience, we know how to avoid unnecessary
repairs and reduce your maintenance expenses. Plus, we have
a working relationship with contractors, so we know the
best contractor for each type of job. The bottom line is
that you save money.
FASTER
RESPONSE AND MORE COMPLETE INFORMATION
By using computers to track things such as repairs, rent
collection, correspondence and upcoming events such as inspections
and lease renewals, we can provide a faster response to
you and your tenants, and keep you better informed.
