Ways to Help Your Property Manager

Ways to Help Your Property Manager

Ways You Can Help Your Property Manager

Property management companies can lend a helping hand for busy owners looking to make a profit out of their investment. Whether it’s collecting the rent or performing regular maintenance, property managers are always busy. Sometimes too busy to do everything on time. Luckily, with a little help from homeowners, property managers can do their job more efficiently, keeping your property in tip-top shape while allowing you to enjoy the extra time and money with those you love.

 

MAKE SURE YOUR PROPERTY IS READY TO RENT BEFORE YOU HAND IT OVER

Appearances are everything in the rental market. Handing over a clean, empty property that is ready to be leased will attract prospective tenants and show your property management company how you expect your house to be kept. On the other hand, if your house is a mess, you’re sending a message to prospective tenants and your management company that the maintenance of your investment isn’t a priority

 

[AdSense-C]

 

DOUBLE-CHECK THAT EVERYTHING WORKS

Nothing wipes out the joy of moving into a new house only to find out that essential fixtures and appliances aren’t working. However, you can prevent problems from developing by making sure that everything is working before you hand your property over.

Light fixtures should be in good conditions and with working light bulbs. Bathroom and kitchen faucets should work and have no leaks. Fire alarms should have new batteries. Anything that doesn’t work or isn’t needed should be removed from the property, so as to avoid frustrating the tenants or overburdening the management company’s repair staff.

 

TAKE ALL OF YOUR PERSONAL ITEMS WITH YOU

Whether it’s by accident or on purpose, many property owners end up leaving personal objects in the property. This happens especially in places like the garage or the attic. This is can lead to trouble down the road.
Leaving personal items in a property encumbers everybody. When your new tenant moves into the home, they shouldn’t have to deal with items that don’t belong to them. You also risk having your personal items stolen or damaged. This also affects the property management company that is caught in the middle. Save yourself the hassle and make sure you remove all of your personal items before turning over your property.

 

GIVE YOUR WALLS A THOROUGH CLEANING

Tenants expect to be able to move in immediately, not having to scrub the floor and walls for hours. Your property may be old and have a few issues with its fixtures, but keeping it sparkling clean will make it more attractive for your future tenants. So make sure that there’s no dust or stains on the floor. If you have carpets get them cleaned by a professional.

 

GIVE YOUR WALLS A MAKEOVER

Your walls don’t have to be freshly painted, although it does help. But the better they look, the easier it’s going to be renting the house out. So make sure that you fill any hole, scrub the walls, or change the wallpaper if needed. Tenants can be picky when it comes to walls, especially if they are dirty or are painted with strange colors.

 

[AdSense-A]

 

LEAVE ALL THE UTILITIES PAID

By visiting your house, prospects expect to get an idea what it will be like to live there. That’s why it’s important that there is running water so that the toilets and the sinks work. Leaving the electricity on is also a must since many tenants visit in the evening and need the extra lighting. Depending on the season, your AC or heating system will also be needed to keep your prospects comfortable.

 

FILL OUT AND RETURN ALL THE PROVIDED PAPERWORK

Every form and document we submit to the owners is necessary for our business activities. That’s why we have a rule of never marketing or leasing a property until the owner, or tenant, has delivered all the information and paperwork we have requested.

 

SHARE ALL THE INFORMATION YOU CAN WITH YOUR MANAGEMENT COMPANY

Where is your property’s electrical junction box? Does the house have a propane tank? Where is the water shut-off located? These are just some questions that you should answer when handing over your property. They will save you time and many phone calls from your property management company.

 

GIVE COPIES OF YOUR RULES TO YOUR PROPERTY MANAGERS

These will be passed on and explained to your tenants so they can comply with the neighborhood rules. No tenant can be held responsible for breaking a rule if he doesn’t know the regulations to begin with.

 

GIVE THEM YOUR FULL CONTACT INFORMATION

Perhaps the most obvious one, your company needs your full contact information. This includes your current address and phone number, to get a hold of you. The easier it is to talk to you, the quicker your property manager will be able to make repairs in your property or solve other issues that need your authorization.

Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricane Preparedness

Hurricane Preparedness

 Steps that should be taken for hurricane preparedness?

Keep informed – Read the Hurricane Help page

SFPMA.COM / State of Florida Property Management Association, Be Safe.

Most things are usually on hand but should be stocked up and easily accessible. If it turns out the hurricane has changed its path, at least you will have known you were ready.
If your city or town is in imminent danger of a hurricane, most likely evacuation announcements have been made, and should be taken seriously. Here is a checklist to consider before you leave: 

 

  1. First, get important papers and special photos in order and secured in plastic. Identification is difficult and time-consuming to replace: so be sure to include social security cards, birth certificates, high school diplomas or GED certificates, titles or deeds to property, as well as your hurricane insurance policy. Photos of special occasions or loved ones cannot be replaced, so including these is important as well.

 

  1. Think ahead and take video or photos of your property before you leave. This will help later on with any insurance checklist claims for damage that may need to be filed.

  2. If staying with relatives is not an option, consider booking a room in a hotel or motel in another nearby town or state. Make sure to get directions and put them in the car ahead of time. It is easy to forget that piece of paper in the rush out the door. A cheaper route might be to find temporary hurricane shelters. Usually nearby towns not in the direct path of the hurricane will provide these for people in need.

  3. Unfortunately, it is unlikely that your pet will have a place in a motel or hotel. Keep this in mind, and try to find alternate housing like pet-friendly hotels and motels or dog boarding kennels in areas out of the path of the storm until it is safe to return home.

 

[AdSense-A]

 

  1. Designate a spot, in the hall closet, to keep a bag of clothes for each person in the household. Make sure to include sleeping gear if you plan on going to a temporary shelter.

  2. Along with overnight clothes, consider stocking your Hurricane Kit with the following: extra cash, generator, batteries, flash lights, battery operated radio/television, bottled water, toilet paper, non-perishable foods such as cereal or crackers, canned goods, a can opener, a small cooler, candles, prescription medicines and any over-the-counter remedies you use regularly; and if you have small children – diapers, baby wipes, formula, baby food.

7. Count on the power being out for at least a day or two. Remember that ATM’s will benon-operating, so have at least some hard cash in your Hurricane Kit (see no. 6, above) to see you through the storm.

When TV and computer games no longer operate, board games or a deck of cards come in handy! Arts and crafts, crayons and downloadable coloring pages are always great distractions for the kids – so make sure you’ve stored some of these supplies in a tote bag or in the car trunk.

8. If you decide to tough out the storm, stay downwind in your home. This means if the wind is hitting the living room windows, go to the room opposite the living room.

9. Plywood is a ‘hot’ commodity for those of who decide to stay. Boarding up windows that will take the brunt of the wind and rain is a wise decision. If board is not available, protect your windows from the wind by criss-crossing them with layers of duct or packing tape. This will be enough protection for light-to-medium winds, but learning how to build and install plywood hurricane shutters is your safest bet. If you can afford it, have them installed by a professional.

10. Finally, STAY INSIDE. However tempting it may be to videotape or take photos of the storm, be sure to shoot from indoors – where it’s safe, and dry!

Hurricanes are serious business. Weather forecasters can only predict so much. Educate yourself and stay on top of hurricane updates in your area. There is no harm in being overly cautious. In most cases where a hurricane is concerned, it truly is better to be safe than sorry.
