We advertise your home for rent on over 40 top real estate websites, use videos, and we Photoshop high resolution pictures of your house to get the most income possible for your property.
It depends on the home condition, how much you want in rent, and what the local market will support. However, through our Un-Matched advertising, we provide quality South Bay and Westside tenants in 35 days on average, but it can be a matter of weeks, or even days. If we have a good product (your house) we can move it faster and for lower cost than many other property management company or brokerage in the city.

No keys will be given out! Unlike other management companies that give tenants the lockbox code or keys, your property will only be shown to pre-qualified tenants by one of our professional leasing agents who has access and of course in-depth knowledge about your home.
Once the prospective tenant says; “I want to rent this house,” we employ several outside companies to our proprietary software program that will run a credit report, conduct back ground check, review employment history, rental history, and check local and national sexual offender databases, and offer a recommendation. Upon that recommendation, we enlighten you with our findings, to help you make the final decision on your new tenants.
Tenants know that rents are due on or before the 1st of each and every month. The income is collected and posted to your account. Owners receive a detailed summary report generated and mailed on the 23-25th of the month and owner funds are transferred to their bank account via ACH process.

No. Make sure to leave the utilities in your name until transferring over to the new tenant when they move in. If you cancel, there is a risk of damage during cold weather (i.e. Plumbing, appliances, sump pumps, damaging plumbing, appliances, and it’s a lot more work getting them turned back on as a “new” service under the tenant’s name.
We strongly recommend that the house be vacant and rent ready at the time the advertising goes out. Statistics show a clean, spacious (no furniture), rent ready home allows the buyer to see the home at the spur of the moment and envision the home as their own. Being vacant also allows tenants a quick 2-4 week move-in date.
Yes. You should maintain a landlord policy on the property. The tenants can’t carry homeowners insurance since they don’t own the house, but we mandate all tenants to carry renters insurance for their personal belongings. It’s always a good idea to contact your insurance agent and let them know you’re renting the house and make sure you are protected.
Today. It’s never a good thing to wait until the last minute, especially in today’s current economy. It’s a perfect time to start lining up prospective tenants.
Unfortunately there are many agents and brokerages that have ZERO property management experience and definitely not specializing in the rental of single family homes, town homes, and condominiums. A word of caution: they might not be insured to manage properties.
