NorthWest Crossing Property Management That Maximizes Your Rental Income and Eliminates the Stress

Advertising takes craft, especially in a master-planned neighbourhood where the houses were built to a common design standard and one listing can look much like the next. To maximize visibility and create interest from quality renters, we focus on creating online listings for you. These listings will come with new professional photography taken by our in-house marketing department. These marketers will guarantee that advertising is easy to understand and to discover organically. Should we need to, we will also promote your rental property to our referral list in Oregon. Listings will be filled with essential details, ensuring tenants know exactly what they are applying to rent – and in NorthWest Crossing that means the things that actually differ between houses: the alley-loaded garage, the walk to the village centre and the Saturday market, and which of the trail connections is closest. Any new applicants that come forward will be given the full-scale review we believe is needed.

While we offer many specialist services as a property management service in NorthWest Crossing, we also handle typical day-to-day management. Working with us means having a specialist who will make sure you always have available support to step in. Our 24/7 backing means that properties always have us available to lend a hand. Should a tenant have an issue, they can report it to us for inspection, evaluation, and a solution. Landlords can reach out to us when they need advice on solving problems, improving property, or dealing with any maintenance requests. One thing worth knowing before the first tenancy starts is that this is a neighbourhood with design standards and an active association, and a tenant who repaints a door or parks a trailer in the wrong place creates a problem that lands on the owner rather than on them. We manage everything about the property, from finding tenants to securing rent collection.

Now that the applications are arriving, we set about screening tenants. Our occupant vetting process has been refined over the years, and it exists to separate the applicants who will suit a long tenancy from those who will not. Our vetting process looks at rental history and previous landlord references, verified current employment and income, and a full credit check. The standard we hold to is a minimum credit score of 625, good to excellent rental history, verifiable gross household income equal to three times the monthly rent, no evictions, and any bankruptcy discharged at least two years ago. The work and effort we put into tenant selection is what finds quality renters, and in a neighbourhood governed by an association it also means making sure an applicant understands what they are agreeing to live with. Once a tenant is in place, we help manage the move-in process and look to secure a long-term tenancy.

If you want to avoid a headache as a property owner and landlord, leave the record-keeping to us. As part of our comprehensive property management service in NorthWest Crossing, we handle your rental income. Yes, this includes both rent collection and accounting. Our financial services are accurate as a dedicated team of accountants handles them. Every detail is verified so we can provide reliable figures on every statement. Not only are you now much more likely to know where your money is coming from, but you will be much more understanding of profits and losses. Association dues and any assessments are shown as their own line rather than folded into general expenses, because in a neighbourhood governed by an association they are a real cost of holding the property. While monthly statements are available on demand via our online portal, we also include other services. Rent is paid through our online portal program, so we can be certain that rent arrives quickly and is delivered to you securely.

NorthWest Crossing is newer than most of Bend, with the bulk of it built from the early 2000s onward, but newness alone does not mean maintenance is not required. Roofs, exterior finishes, decks and mechanical equipment installed across a neighbourhood in the same few years reach the end of their service lives in the same few years too, which is a useful thing to plan for rather than discover. As your property manager, we take care of all maintenance work for you. You no longer need to worry about hoping for the best when you hire maintenance contractors. Our in-house team will handle most maintenance requests, but we also use our contacts across Bend and Central Oregon to find quality contractors. As a licensed general contractor, we can hire the best professionals to ensure your rental property is maintained to a professional standard. Central Oregon also adds freeze-thaw stress that the wetter side of the state never sees. Remember, too, that we operate on a 24/7 basis: we can take on emergency requests with ease to keep tenants safe and vacancies filled.

The difference between peace of mind and constant worry about legal liability comes from your lease agreement. In NorthWest Crossing, tenants tend to stick around for the long term when they feel like they have a landlord who listens. Crucially, tenants will vacate the property or, worse, begin legal proceedings if they feel as if they have been wronged. Landlords need to be mindful of landlord-tenant legal regulations, and here there are two sets: Oregon caps annual rent increases at a figure recalculated each year and requires a set notice period, while the association sets rules on what a resident may do with the property – and a tenant who breaches those creates a liability for the owner rather than for themselves. As your property manager, leave managing your property and its legal requirements to us. We will first create a lease agreement that has undergone a thorough analysis of the legal situation. Once we know the laws of the day, we ensure full compliance; adjustments will be made if required. Easy-to-understand lease agreements paired with our attention to detail regarding the law are a perfect match.
