It seems there is a new property management company starting out every day, trying to beat everyone else's prices. Our management fees are very competitive and we certainly are not the most expensive. On the other hand, we charge a fair fee for a tremendous service. For example, we believe that resident selection is very high on the list of priorities. A poor resident can cost you thousands of dollars. We are experienced and committed to finding the best resident for you at a competitive rent. When ALL expenses are considered, we are generally less expensive than most companies.

We have a major presence on the web with our primary website at www.pmerents.com where we post up to 10 attractive photos of your property, information & directions. Our Web Development department daily takes care of online development and site management to ensure our clients that their property is getting the optimal exposure available online. We also have rental listings available in our office during business hours Mon-Sun 9:00-5:00pm and outside in our exterior box 24 hours a day. Scheduled showings of vacancies are performed seven days a week (selected offices) by professional leasing agents. In addition to newspaper advertising, we also post professional sized rental signs at the property to attract prospective tenants. Located on the sign is an extension number assigned to your property where the prospective tenant can call to get specific information on your property.

We do a detailed analysis of the rental market, factoring in the condition, location, and amenities of your property along with the current rental market.

Over the years, we have found that residents with good credit history are generally more reliable than those who do not have good credit. A reliable resident will usually take better care of a property (in addition to paying rent on time). When we have good residents who pay rent on time and take proper care of the property, your investment is protected.

Once a violation has occurred, we will post legal notice to the tenant with an opportunity to cure the violation. If the violation is not cured, it will be forwarded to our attorney for eviction filings.

Before a new resident moves into your property, we will complete a detailed move-in checklist with the resident, which provides written documentation as to the condition of your property. Thereafter, each year we send a written notice to our property owners to recommend a safety and maintenance inspection. If approved by the owner, a certified home inspector is scheduled to inspect the property. During this inspection, the inspector will make sure the smoke alarms work, test for plumbing leaks, check the caulk and grout in the bathrooms, examine the exterior painting, and complete an inspection report. The report and color pictures will be mailed to you as they are completed. The inspector charges our owners $100.00 for each inspection report.

Residents may phone, fax, or mail their requests to us, and they can request maintenance online at our website. After we receive a repair request, we may contact the resident and ask them questions, which will help us determine the exact nature of the problem before sending a service technician. If the resident has a legitimate problem, we will schedule the repair. Most repairs are scheduled within one business day. Comfort items such as air conditioning, no hot water or heat, receive the highest priority and are usually attended to the same or next business day.
