First, We Evaluate Your Redwood City Rental Property
We’ll come by to evaluate the property and talk to you about your financial goals. We’ll recommend any repairs or upgrades that could help to improve your return. We’ll also go over any property rules and guidelines, providing our professional advice along the way. Lastly, we install a lock box, so we can safely access your unit.
Then, We Start Marketing Your Redwood City Rental Property
We go through your home and clean it from top to bottom, repairing anything necessary along the way. After your property is fully prepped, we utilize professionals to photograph the property and write a marketing piece. Then we spread the word. We target the right audience using over 200 rental websites, social media, and traditional marketing methods. Throughout the process, we make ourselves available for showings to prospective renters seven days a week. Any interested parties receive a thorough application to fill out.
Throughout Your Redwood City Rental Property Application Process …
We thoroughly check the background, credit, and references of each applicant before delivering the applications who pass the test to you for the final decision.
After a Selection is Made for Your Redwood City Rental Property …
While we like to think on the bright side, we do continue to market your property until we have a deposit in our hands. This is to save you from unnecessary vacant days in case the tenant changes their mind.
We handle the entire move-in process. Once a tenant is chosen, we draw up the paperwork, creating a legally binding lease with all the pertinent information, including a move-in date. We also go over all the guidelines set forth for your property, and provide the tenant with login information for the Intempus Realty Tenant Portal. We also collect the first month of rent and request proof of renters’ insurance.
After double-checking all the paperwork, we head to your property to perform one last property inspection and create a Statement of Condition.
A Bit About Rent Collection & Accounting for Your Redwood City Rental Property
We are responsible for the retrieval of all rents. If a tenant is behind on payments, we contact them until arrangements for payment are made. We apply late fees to accounts requiring this attention. If that doesn’t work, we deliver pay or quit notices.
In addition to receiving rents, we also handle expenses on your behalf. We will send payments for things like your mortgage, HOA dues, and more. Anytime a cent of your money is moved; it is thoroughly documented, and you’re provided with detailed reports at increments throughout the year. At tax time, you can rest assured knowing we’ll provide you with all the forms you need to file, and we’ll give you tips on deductions you may not know about.
Throughout it All, We Provide Inspections & Maintenance Services for Your Redwood City Rental Property
We attend to annual safety inspections for the entire inside and outside of your unit. At this time, we will let you know of any necessary repairs, recommended upgrades, or safety or code violations. We stay on top of maintenance, planning ahead to avoid emergencies. Even so, just in case, we run a 24-hour repair hotline, so your tenants can call us anytime.
Whenever your property needs repair or upgrade, we’ll give you an estimate and get your approval beforehand, unless we’re faced with an emergency and cannot get in contact with you. We work with a network of trusted contractors, and employ our own specialists in order to provide quality services at a competitive price. Our representatives oversee all aspects of projects, big or small.
When its Move-Out Time of Your Redwood City Rental Property …
We go to your unit to perform one last inspection before returning your tenant’s deposit, minus any repair costs. We either provide you with the remaining balance, or put it towards fixing and upgrading the property before putting it back on the market. Finally, we re-key the locks and begin marketing your home for its next inhabitant.
