What is Property Management?

Property management is a multifaceted profession that involves the administration, operation, and oversight of real estate properties on behalf of property owners. It involves various tasks and responsibilities aimed at ensuring that properties are well-maintained, financially optimized, and compliant with local regulations. Whether you’re a property owner in Brevard looking to maximize your investment returns or a tenant seeking a well-managed rental, understanding the role and importance of Space Coast property management is essential. Real Estate Direct’s team of property managers has the knowledge and experience to help you maximize your investment property. In this article, we’ll go over the numerous benefits of outsourcing your direct property management responsibilities.

Better Tenant Screening

Finding good tenants is pivotal for successful Space Coast property management. Our team of Melbourne FL property managers is responsible for the tenant screening process, which includes credit reports, background checks, and reference checks. We make sure each new tenant is good for your property, so you can have peace of mind knowing that your investment is being taken care of properly. When you find good tenants and establish a relationship with them, they are more than likely to renew their lease.

Proper Maintenance

All properties require some form of maintenance, some more than others. Direct property management in Brevard requires proper maintenance and repairs when required. Property managers have other companies to handle repairs when issues arise. When you choose to handle maintenance right away instead of pushing it off, your tenants will be happy and the issue will be fixed before it grows into something bigger. Outsourcing your property management in Melbourne, FL means that your maintenance issues will always be taken care of quickly. Our Melbourne FL property managers are experienced.

Proactive maintenance is not just about preserving the physical structure; it’s also about ensuring tenant satisfaction. When maintenance concerns are addressed promptly, tenants feel valued and secure in their living spaces. This positive experience contributes to tenant retention, fostering a sense of community and stability within your property. Happy tenants are more likely to renew leases, reducing turnover and vacancy rates.

 

Property Marketing

The ability to properly market your property is crucial for successful property management in Melbourne, FL. With Melbourne’s population increasing each year, you want to be able to find a good tenant to rent your home. Our property management team has access to all of the best digital marketing tools, to ensure that your property gets seen by as many people as possible. Without being able to advertise your property, it’ll be so much harder to find potential tenants. Trust Real Estate Direct to handle your property marketing.

 

Legal Compliance

With property laws constantly being updated, having a trustworthy Space Coast property management team could be a lifesaver. Our team is knowledgeable about the local laws and regulations for property owners. We will make sure your property is always in compliance. When a law is updated, we will make sure you are made aware and any necessary changes will be made. Don’t let Brevard’s confusing property laws stress you out, trust Real Estate Direct to take care of your investment.

Laws and regulations can change swiftly, and missing an update could have consequences for your property. With Real Estate Direct as your property management partner, you can rest assured that we stay vigilant. When a law is updated, our team will promptly inform you, outlining any necessary adjustments needed to maintain compliance. We act as your proactive ally, ensuring that your property management strategy aligns seamlessly with the legal environment.

Testimonials
I have been renting a property managed by Real Estate Direct for the past year and they've been great! Sarah Rutherford is our property manager and she has always been very responsive and helpful for any questions or maintenance issues we've had. I don't think anything has been left untreated for more than a week, even when we were having major plumbing issues that required significant work to be done.
Response from the owner:Thank You Eva! We appreciate your taking the time to report great things about Sarah! We try to stay on top of things as they arise and am glad you recognize that. Our properties and tenants are our priorities.
CHOOSE LORRAINE AS YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT! She has helped me find a few properties over the years. She is very attentive to one needs and wants, she doesn’t settle with less for you. It doesn’t matter the day, nor the hour, Lorraine is working hard to make your dreams come true, like if it was for her. She listens, she searches, and she SUCCEEDS EVERY TIME. Her personality beyond being professional, is very understanding and caring. I could never express how important she has been in my family’s life because of her willingness to be of service and become available to your needs. Because of Lorraine, and her help to find my family a property, I have a space to thrive in my business and I have grown tremendously. I could not have done it without her. She listens. She Goes above and beyond. I went through several real estate companies and was rejected when my income was too low when I started, and Lorraine found a way, it was God’s hand through her literally. Everytime we have been better and better because she worked hard to find us a place when we barely could. Since then, we have been moving to better homes and getting into bigger houses and growing financially. And as we keep growing, we keep choosing Lorraine. She helped in our lowest, we want her help in our highest. I would not change her. YOU NEED LORRAINE! TO BUY, TO RENT, WHATEVER YOUR NEED IS IN REAL ESTATE, YOU NEED LORRAINE.
Response from the owner:Thank you Marie. Lorraine is a new team member who has hit the ground running. She uses her experience in the business to help her clients and we are happy to say she fits right in!
Since I moved to the Space Coast, Jennifer and the Real Estate Direct team have made my life much easier; not only were they helpful in pointing to local resources, but also super fast in their response to any and all maintenance issues. Jennifer and her team have a level of professionalism that is above average and have positively impacted my quality of life!
Response from the owner:Thank you! Our tenants and owners comfort, safety and property are our priority. We appreciate you taking the time to reflect on your experience. Looking forward to continuing our relationship.
We have been working directly with Lyndsey for quite some time now. And she is all around amazing to work with. Great communication, quick responses and we 100% recommend Lyndsey from real estate direct
Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review. Yard maintenance is a tough job that we take seriously. Your great work helps us protect our owners investments. Thank you!
Lyndsey Neel where do I start? A long overdue review of an amazing young woman.
My husband Scott and I rejoined the world of renter's after selling our home. And as you can imagine it's a daunting task at any age,but as senior citizens it's an overwhelming experience. We knew nothing of Real Estate Direct or Lyndsey, but landed on a property managed by Real Estate Direct and it was Lyndsey property.
In the two years living there any time we reached out with anything she was on it. Fast forward to last year 2years of renting 2024 we where advised owners where selling and we where offered opportunity to purchase. Not our desire in that moment, so we passed on purchase.

Let me just say it was not what we were expecting but as we all know life situations arise and we have to suck it up.
Lyndsey was amazing she met us to set up seeing potential properties on her own time to assist even if it meant we weren't her clients anymore.
Let's be real who takes that kind of care with people when there's no gain for them. Lyndsey went above and beyond with all our quirk's and looked for what we might have missed and what we needed. I really didn't want to go with any other company preferring to stay with Real Estate Direct, there was nothing.
Lyndsey combed thru everything still nothing. Then a property she was inspecting a possible new contract came around.
Lyndsey was amazing she checked it out knowing us and said it's perfect for you guys. She worked so deligently for us and made it happen.
We will follow her wherever she goes. The integrity and genuine care she brings to the table is unmatched.
Rental or Purchasing we have a wonderful advocate we know can be trusted and that's huge today when the people you encounter today lack manners and integrity. Lyndsey if you read this we love you my dear and are so very grateful for your expertise and the shining star you are.
And everyone knows dealing with older folks is a challenge all by itself.
Gotta be one level, I need a garden space oh can we get a gardener is it safe? On and on Numerous back and forth text. Handled us with a smile and patience . And it was genuine.

Real Estate Direct Thank you for employing a Super Star ⭐ it speaks volumes about your company.
You got it 100% right with Lyndsey Neel she makes you look good everyday.

Sincerely,
Scott and Brenda Berkman
Response from the owner:Wow! What an amazing testimony. Thank you for your time and appreciation of the hard work that goes into the job. We love her as well!
We are out-of-town owners of several properties and all are managed by Lyndsey at Real Estate Direct. We started out with another property management company, but the magic just wasn't there. We really appreciate the strength of Lyndsey's organization and the network of contractors, landscapers, painters, etc. that she has built. When we have repairs that need to be done, Lyndsey knows the contractors that can get the job done at competitive prices. All of our tenants have been excellent due primarily to attention to detail during tenant screening. I highly recommend Lyndsey at Real Estate Direct.
Response from the owner:Wonderful to hear our clients continuing to praise our efforts. Lyndsey is amazing and takes the job of helping people very seriously. We look forward to working with you!
Real Estate Direct has managed our two properties for years, and they have been on a really great property management team. They are always looking out for our properties.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bonnie!
What a phenomenal Real Estate Broker. Frank Schrader personally guided us to our new home. He showed us multiple homes and gave us an honest appraisal of each. We finally settled on a house and Frank secured us an amazing price. We lived in Tampa and had some questions after the inspection. Now realize Frank is the Broker. He drove to the house, brought a ladder and went up into the attic to address our concern. Absolutely stellar service.
Response from the owner:Thank you Greg. It was a pleasure to assist Leott in finding the perfect home for you both! You all were so on top of things and easy to work with. Continued success and I hope you fill the garage with the cars of your dreams!
Since I placed my property in Melbourne under their care, and moreover under the hands of Ms. Sarah Rutherford, I have to say you people are the best decision I ever made.
Thank you for everything and your dedication to satisfy my needs,.

Response from the owner:Thank you! We appreciate your review and look forward to maintaining our position as #1 in Brevard.
5 years ago, I embarked on a search for the perfect beachfront furnished condo, and my journey led me to Real Estate Direct. From the outset, Jenn proved to be an exceptional guide throughout the entire process. Her attention to detail and responsiveness to every query were truly commendable.

As a tenant for four years, I experienced unparalleled support from the Real Estate Direct team and their network of contractors. Challenges were met with immediate resolution, and it was evident that they maintained a keen awareness of the owners' financial considerations. My tenure as a tenant was nothing short of extraordinary.

Last year, the opportunity arose for me to become a proud owner of the condo, and once again, Jenn's expertise shone through. She seamlessly coordinated with the best title company, employing cutting-edge technology and an attorney on staff. Real Estate Direct truly goes above and beyond.

I wholeheartedly recommend Real Estate Direct for anyone seeking property management or your next home. Their commitment and dedication ensure a seamless journey, guiding you every step of the way until you reach the finish line. This team's excellence is unparalleled, making them the go-to choice for a hassle-free and rewarding real estate experience.
Response from the owner:What a great testimony. Thank you and we look forward to continuing the relationship.
We can't speak highly enough of our experience with Real Estate Direct. We have partnered with this company for years. This team is professional and truly cares about their customers. Communication is great. If you are moving into or out of the Brevard area, you must call Real Estate Direct. You will not regret it!

Real Estate Direct (RED) is the "best of the best." I found them efficient, collaborative, and tough when they needed to be. Jennifer Marin, in particular, seamed to have my requests tended to even before I voiced them to her. You can't do better than RED - so why bother going anywhere else!

Being new to Real Estate transactions Frank's advice was extremely helpful to prepare for selling our house. We relied on Frank's guidance heavily through the sellling process. He stayed in close contact and was always accessible to help us. Frank's expertise and experience made our Home sale expeditious, stress free, and successfull! Highly recommend!
Response from the owner:Thank you Pete and Sally. It was our pleasure to help and guide you through the process. Hope to see you again soon.
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.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the review, Daniel! Not only are our property owners and tenants a priority, we make our vendors part of our family also.
Super awesome group of people! Easy to talk to, very helpful & spot on! Thank you! Highly recommended!
Response from the owner:Thank you very much George for taking your time to review us! We appreciate it!

Response from the owner:Thank you Ian! Continued success with your investment search. We look forward to working with you.

Fantastic is an understatement. I real estate direct does propert management right. I rented the property I am at for a year before real estate direct took over. The previous company was horrible and unresponsive to any request. RE direct is responsive and first class. Never an issue getting in touch with Lyndsey at RE direct she's the best. You won't find a better property management company anywhere in town or anywhere on the state for that matter!!
