I owned a lawn business for several years and Real Estate Direct was one of our best customers. Their property managers are incredibly attentive to their properties. Falling on my own sword here; I was called more than once about quality issues with... some of the crews that I had. The issues were addressed and corrected professionally, and I always enjoyed doing business with them.They communicate outstandingly well and treat their subcontractors very fairly, even when a customer has outlandish requests like having their lawn mowed every week when it's winter time and the service schedule clearly states that service is provided every other week because the grass has entered it's dormant period.read more

BREVARD PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

If you own property in Brevard County, you know that managing it can be a challenging task. From finding reliable tenants and handling maintenance and repairs, there are many responsibilities that come with Real Brevard property management. In a lot of cases, it is beneficial to hire a property manager in Melbourne Florida. This guide offers helpful tips to help you navigate the world of property management in Brevard County.

EXPECTATIONS AND GUIDELINES.

One of the most important things you can do as a landlord is to set clear expectations and guidelines for your tenants. This involves specifying the provisions of the lease agreement, including rent payment deadlines, penalties for late payments, and any regulations pertaining to the property. By setting these expectations upfront, you can avoid misunderstandings and conflicts in the future. Make sure to communicate these expectations to your tenants and provide them with a copy of the lease agreement for reference.

In addition to outlining the terms of the lease agreement, it’s also important to set guidelines for the maintenance of the property. This includes specifying who is responsible for lawn care and any necessary repairs. By setting these guidelines, you can ensure that the property is well-maintained and that any issues get addressed quickly. It’s also a good idea to provide your tenants with a list of emergency contacts in case of any urgent issues outside of business hours. By setting clear expectations and guidelines, you can create a positive and productive relationship with your tenants and ensure the success of your management of the property.

REGULAR PROPERTY MAINTENANCE.

Regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your property in good condition and preventing expensive repairs down the line. This includes tasks such as cleaning gutters, changing air filters, and inspecting the property for any signs of damage or wear and tear. It’s also important to address any maintenance issues quickly, as delaying repairs can lead to more damage and higher costs. Consider hiring a professional asset management company to handle maintenance tasks and ensure your property is always in top condition.

Real Brevard property management is essential for maintaining the value of the investment. Regular maintenance is a key component of good asset management, as it helps to prevent small issues from turning into big problems. This includes tasks such as cleaning gutters, changing air filters, and inspecting the property for any signs of damage. By addressing maintenance issues promptly, you can avoid costly repairs down the line and keep your tenants happy. A professional asset management company can help you stay on top of maintenance tasks and ensure your property is always in top condition. With their expertise and experience, they can handle everything from routine maintenance to emergency repairs, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.

OPEN COMMUNICATION WITH TENANTS.

Communication is key to successful asset management, especially when it comes to your tenants. Ensure you establish effective methods of communication right from the start. Offering various ways for tenants to reach out to you in case of emergencies. Regularly check in with your tenants to address any concerns they might have. This can help prevent misunderstandings and conflicts down the line, and keep a positive relationship between you and your tenants. Plus, happy tenants are more likely to renew their lease and recommend your property to others. So, make communication a top priority in your asset management strategy.

Incorporating effective communication into your asset management strategy is not just a best practice; it is a strategic investment in the long-term success and profitability of your property. By prioritizing communication, you are laying the foundation for a strong landlord-tenant relationship, which is key to a thriving and well-maintained asset. In the realm of successful asset management, effective communication plays a pivotal role, particularly in your interactions with tenants. It is imperative to establish robust communication methods right from the outset. Providing tenants with diverse channels to reach out, especially in emergencies, is a fundamental aspect of fostering a safe and secure living environment.

Our team of property managers is ready to assist you with all of your property management needs. From maintenance and repairs to tenant screening and applications, we have it all covered. Learn more about how our team can help you successfully manage your property and get the most out of your investment!

Tenant Screening & Retention

Professional property management services provide better tenant screening and retention. They can help you identify potential renters who have a good rental history, with references to back that up. Additionally, they can assist in keeping your tenants happy which will in turn lead to lower vacancy rates. These services are invaluable when it comes to taking care of your property and ensuring its success for many years to come.

What is a Tenant Screening Report?

A tenant screening report is a history of the applying tenant’s criminal history, credit, rental history, and financial history. These reports are necessary to the landlord because they want to ensure that the people moving into their home are going to take good care of it. These reports can only be made with the tenant’s signed consent.

Tenant Screening Lawns

The laws for tenant screening are going to vary based on location, but some of the Florida tenant screening laws are as follows:

  • Must Receive Signed Consent: Before you can conduct any sort of background check, whether it be a credit check or criminal history, you must have signed consent from the tenant. Without signed consent, you could face legal repercussions.
  • Monitor Small Talk: While establishing a positive relationship with your tenants is crucial, make sure you listen closely during every conversation you have. Anything you say has the potential to be used against you. Monitoring what’s said between you and your tenants and being careful about what you say could save you a lot of legal trouble down the road.
  • No application Fee Limit: In the state of Florida, you can charge as much as you want for an application fee, but it is recommended that you keep it in the twenty to fifty dollar range. Charging a higher application fee can severely limit your choices for future tenants.

Lower Priced Operating Costs

Hiring the services of a Brevard property management company offers long-term cost savings by effectively minimizing expenses tied to rental property management. Leveraging their expertise, these professionals adeptly navigate maintenance and repair costs, ensuring the property is well-maintained. Proactive maintenance not only sustains the property’s condition but also enables early detection of potential issues. Moreover, our seasoned experts stay abreast of evolving landlord-tenant laws, providing informed guidance to prevent costly legal repercussions and ensure compliance with the latest regulations.

Speedier Turnaround Times

Property management services play a crucial role in accelerating the process of securing new tenants for a property. These professionals excel in identifying, selecting, and screening the most qualified renters, ensuring a swift influx of potential tenants and minimizing the time lapses between rentals. Moreover, a comprehensive service provider takes care of all move-in requirements, from rent collection to ensuring accurate and timely paperwork completion. This not only facilitates seamless transitions between tenants but also shields you from potential legal disputes.

Collaborating with a property management service brings a lot of advantages, notably expediting the turnover periods between tenants. Their proficiency in tenant acquisition, streamlined screening procedures, effective documentation, and efficient move-in processes significantly contribute to reducing vacancies and shortening the intervals between rental periods. By delegating these responsibilities to seasoned professionals, landlords can divert their focus to other facets of their investment, experiencing a hassle-free and well-organized rental process.

Time and Stress Savings

Opting for the services of a real Brevard property management company offers significant benefits in terms of time and stress savings. Property management can become a demanding and stressful task, especially when juggling multiple properties or maintaining a full-time job. Entrusting the management responsibilities to a professional company allows you to reclaim your time and alleviate the stress associated with handling tenant concerns, maintenance requests, and day-to-day tasks. With Real Estate Direct shouldering these responsibilities, you gain the freedom to redirect your focus toward other aspects of your life or channel your efforts into acquiring additional properties. This empowerment enables the expansion of your real estate portfolio without the encumbrance of daily management duties. Whether your goal is to spend more quality time with your family, explore new business ventures, or simply relish your leisure time, the decision to hire a property management company provides the freedom and flexibility to pursue these endeavors.

At Real Estate Direct, we understand that managing a property can be both rewarding and challenging. Whether you’re a property owner seeking stress-free management or a tenant in search of the perfect home, our property management services are designed to cater to your unique needs.
