Sisters That Sell

Let our experience help you and your property.

Managing a rental property on your own can prove itself to be a daunting task. Trying to work your regular job and keep up with rent, responding to and addressing maintenance issues, finding someone to rent your place, and doing credit and background checks on potential tenants can add unnecessary stress to an already stressful life. Finding an experienced property manager to handle these tasks and more can relieve stress and costs only a minimal amount of money.

There are several advantages to letting a professional property manager handle your rental property:

Collecting Rent

Without a doubt, the most important advantage to hiring a property manager is to act as the liaison between the landlord and the tenant. This helps you not get too personal with your tenants which can come in between you and collecting the rent.

Handling Repairs

If you live out of town it can be difficult to find trustworthy handymen to do repairs on the property as they are needed. An experienced property manager will have a list of trusted individuals they have done business with and trust to get the job done without unnecessary cost or time.

Finding renters

Property managers have an array of different ways to find renters for your property. From other agents to the internet, rest assured they are making every attempt to find tenants for your home. This can be a huge undertaking for an individual trying to find a renter on their own; taking off work to show the property can waste huge amounts of time if you don’t ask the right questions up front.

Credit and background checks

If you choose a property management company (such as Moran Property Management), handling background checks and pulling up potential renters credit can be done properly. Weeding out those who don’t have a high enough credit score can save you money and time down the road.
