Serving All of Le Grand
Le Grand Property Management
When you own rental property and have tried to rent this to the market on your own, you may have failed. Was it you or the market? The key to remember about rental homes is that they are always in demand. There are those who want to rent a home and never want to buy. And have a house is one of the basic living things that we need. So, if you have failed previously when putting your home onto the market, chances are it was due to your error. There is nothing to be ashamed of though! That is why there are professionals to handle this for you. Professionals at Le Grand are ready to handle this rental for you and ensure that you see success this time around. But, how do we get the success that you want to see?
We Discover You The Right Tenant
One of the biggest aspects that Le Grand property management assists with is finding the ideal renter to live in your house. This is most likely one of the biggest aspects that people stress about as they know that not having the right tenant can lead to tons of troubles. After all, haven’t you listened to the horror experiences of how a tenant stopped paying a landlord and the landlord had a tough time in getting the person to move out of the rental? And this could be one of the main reasons that your first attempt at renting your home was not a success. This is what we can help to avoid. And how do we do this? We use our renter screening services to look through the applicants that have applied to live here. These services are meant to look at their past rental history, criminal backgrounds and even credit scores to determine who is the best tenant to live in this home.
Our Other Services
Those who work with us often endorse our administration expertise. And better yet, they enjoy the
fact that they are not having to be involved at all when it comes to this home. Granted, we have clients who we manage their rental properties who want to be more involved, which is fine. And we have just as many customers who want to own the home and let us deal with everything else. Even before we are looking through applications of the tenants who want to live here, we are promoting this home to the market, and looking at the home from a renter viewpoint, ensuring that it is prepared for someone to move into. After the tenant has moved into the home, we then handle everything else. If the tenant has an issue with the plumbing, they call us. If they are not paying on time, they deal with us. The idea with working with Le Grand property management is that we handle this all without you having to be active.
The end result is going to be that you have a successful rental property that you can trust in the pros to look after.
