Tenant screening services
An important key to successful property management is placing the right tenant in the right property. TenantFinders is extremely thorough and uses a proprietary in-depth screening process to make sure you are getting the right tenant. Our background checks include accessing our own credit reports, checking driver’s license, confirming employment, verifying income, checking rental referrals from current and past landlords, checking eviction reports, and personal interviews with potential renters. Once all of the above has been performed we will present you with the best qualified applicant.
Five day turnaround
Everyday your property is not in the proper condition for renting, you lose money. Our turnaround service will significantly shorten the time your property is off the market and as a result maximize income potential. TenantFinders can get your property rental ready in just 5 days. An expedited 1 day service is also available. Services include painting, carpet cleaning/ repair/ replacing (as needed), cleaning throughout and attending to maintenance issues, etc.
Maintenance & repairs
24/7 TenantFinders is there to handle any maintenance requests or emergencies. We’ll schedule service, supervise and inspect the work performed. You’ll receive a complete report with receipts. And unlike some property management companies that have maintenance staff on their payroll, TenantFinders uses outside vendors that we have developed relationships with over the years. This means we don’t schedule “questionable” repairs to build our bottom line, but only when necessary. And when work is needed, you can be sure it will be done by the right vendor and at a fair price.
Exit Inspections
When it is time for your tenant to move out – we will perform an exit inspection to make sure they leave your property in the same condition as when they moved in. Any damage from the tenant will be recorded and photos taken. The tenant’s security deposit refund will then be adjusted accordingly.
Eviction services
Many property owners have first come to TenantFinders when they were faced with evicting an undesirable tenant. Our 26 years of experience has taught us how to make this process as smooth and as quick as the law allows. We will handle all of the legal, logistical, and communications work for you – minimizing the time needed to get the property returned to you while giving you ‘distance” from the process. As soon as the tenant has been removed our crew will make your property rental ready and help you get it re-rented as soon as possible.
TenantFinders is proud to say that due to our thorough screening process as well as our philosophy of building good working relationships with tenants we rarely encounter the need to evict a tenant we place in our clients’ properties.
Bookkeeping services
Our state of the art bookkeeping software simplifies accounting functions. Each month we will provide you with detailed monthly statements showing income and expenses. You’ll also receive a year end summary which will make your life easy and your accountant will love!
Remodeling services
From simple remodeling projects such as changing bathroom fixtures, to laying down a new floor to larger projects such as gutting and remodeling a kitchen, we have the experience and know how to get remodeling projects done on-time and on-budget. In most cases we can get projects done for far less than you could on your own. Having managed 1000’s of rentals we can also advise you as to which projects are most important to making your property rent ready.
