Serving All of Stanwood

Have you noticed more new faces in the Stanwood area? No, this doesn’t mean that homes are selling quickly. It often means that more people are moving into rental homes. The rental industry is one that is always thriving. Tons of people would rather rent a home when compared to buying, for whatever reason. Having a property that you are considering rental can be a great decision. After all, this is going to give you an investment that you really don’t have to work for when you hire us, a full service property management firm, to handle this for you. And this home can always be something that you come back to later if you so want.

 

How We Help Our Clients

 

When we work with a client, we take on the role of landlord for them. This means that they not bothered at midnight if a water pipe were to break. They don’t have the hassle of collecting the rent each month. We do this all. However, it is the services that we offer when a person comes to us with the idea of renting their home that makes this a great investment.

 

When a person first comes to us, we make sure that the home is ready for the rental market. After all our experience, we know what renters want and how much they are willing to pay. This type of intelligence is vital to ensuring success on the market. We then start to advertise this for you to ensure that we reach a wide audience. And when people start applying to live here, we are going to go through these applications using our tenant screening services to find the best possible tenant to live in this home.

 

When you work with us on your Stanwood rental home, we are going to be here for you every step along the way so that you have no worries.
