Acme

 

For those who are looking for a location that is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of mainstream cities, yet close enough to make you feel as though you are a part of this atmosphere, Acme is a location to consider. The good news is that if you are not ready to buy a home in the area, there are tons of rentals that are available. And for those who own homes in the area, they are finding that instead of selling, they are opting to put their home onto the rental market. It is not as a fearful idea as it was years ago, since property management companies are here to help to make this an easy transition and an easy investment to keep for years to come.

 

What Does a Property Management Firm Do?

 

Why should people decide to work with a property management firm when they are looking to put their home onto the rental market? It is due to the way in which they handle everything for your Acme rental home. While you may be ready to turn this home into a rental home, you still want it to be treated with respect and care. You do not want to come back into the home and regret making this decision to rent it out to the market. That is where a property management firm comes in.

 

We handle everything for your rental home, which means less stress on you and you can relax knowing that your home is in good hands. We start with getting your home ready to become a rental. For example, we may suggest that you put everything in the home into a neutral color base as is common with most rental homes. We may suggest that you put in certain appliances and the like to make this more appealing to the rental market.

 

Once your home is ready for the market, we then advertise this home to the market so that you can get the best possible tenants that are on the market. We utilize a variety of ways in which we can narrow down those who apply to live in this home. We look at their past rental history along with background checks and their credit histories to determine who should be living in your home.

 

Once a tenant moves into the home, our job doesn’t stop. We are still managing your property. We will make sure that the rent is paid on time, that any type of repair is made, that the person is treating the property with the respect that it deserves, and any other task that may arise.

 

Why Work With Us?

 

Why should you work with us? We know the Acme area, and we know what it takes to attract renters to this area. If you are serious about turning your home into a rental home, we are here to make this happen. We have the experience in the rental market to ensure that we handle it all and you can rest easy knowing that you are in good hands.

Thorough Tenant Screening

Placing the right tenant is the single most important step in rental management. Our applicant screening includes income, rental history, employment, and eviction search to evaluate for potential delinquency issues. We verify identification, social security cards and pay stubs, along with contacting prior landlords for recommendations, keeping the delinquency rate to a minimum. Our thorough screening process for potential tenants has consistently kept our eviction rate at less than one percent.

Utopia also provides our owners with the optional “Utopia® Eviction Protection Program” for further peace of mind.  As a management company, we have many procedures in place to assist in the elimination of potential liabilities.

  • Exceptional property protection options for owners.
  • Preparation, delivery, and execution of legal documentation for evictions.
  • Optional “Utopia Eviction Protection Program” for additional peace of mind.
