Owner’s Frequently Asked Questions

We specialize in residential properties. We also manage and lease commercial property. The majority of property that we manage is single-family homes, duplexes and apartment buildings.

For Rent Signs- Posted at the property and separate signs leading

to the property.

Internet- We use state of the art website advertising on 30 to 35 websites. A few of the highest-ranking websites we do marketing with are Trulia, Zillow, Realtor, Hotpads and Homes.com

Flyers- Vacancy listings can be picked up at our office location and are updated on a daily basis. Flyers are posted on our bulletin board with upcoming and vacant property information.

Tenants can call their requests in by telephone, email, and online repair form or mail them. When we receive a written request, we contact the tenant to schedule an appointment and to receive additional information about the repair.
