Oakhurst Property Management

 

When you think about being a landlord and having leasing property, what are you thinking? Chances are you are thinking about a cute little house that you mow the yard for every other week, that the renters smile and wave, no complaints are heard and it is pure bliss. The reality is that having rental property is not something that works for everyone. Furthermore, if you try to do this on your own without the help of professionals you are going to find that it could end up more like a scary story than a fairy tale.

 

Those who go into this process with no knowledge of what they should do will find that they are stuck with a tenant that is the epitome of a bad tenant resulting in lost money and maybe even damage to your rental home. So, how can you ensure that this is not the case with you? Turn to the professionals of Oakhurst property management.

 

How We Get Success With Your Rental

 

When we step into a situation and take over the managing of a property in the area, we are going to let our years of experience and knowledge go to work for you. Just what are we going to do? One of the main things that we will focus on is the advertising and finding the perfect tenant. What is the perfect tenant? This is the person or couple that we truly believe will pay their rent on time, who are going to treat your home with respect and not cause damage.

 

They are going to be tenants that we never hear anything bad about. It seems like finding the perfect tenant would be simple, but it does take a bit of knowledge to make this decision. We use tenant screening services to find the one person that matches our ideal tenant, while also relying on our years of knowledge to make this decision.

 

Of course, before this happens we do make sure that your rental is ready for the market. We will come into your home and offer suggestions as to what you may want to change to make it more appealing towards the market. We know what renters want and you can put this to good use to ensure that your home is not sitting on the market for weeks trying to find a tenant. At this point, we also make a price suggestion that is going to be a good price for you, but also one that is going to attract tenants and not turn them away.

 

Turn To Us Today

 

Why do people succeed with us? Because we know what renters want and we use this knowledge to help you. When we take over the property, you will find that you don’t have to do anything, we are going to do this all for you. It is why so many people turn to Oakhurst for their property management needs and recommend us to those who are also in the rental market.
