Today's topic - Tenant and Occupancy:

Attentive Property Management understands the needs of the tenants - responding to their requests, monitoring their lease requirement activities, collecting rent in a timely manner, and assessing the tenants' satisfaction. 

 

A property can be nicely designed and in a desired area, but it will not be a profitable rental property if tenants aren't managed properly and occupancy maintained at a high level. Unhappy tenants vacate at the end of their leases or even sometimes before. Not only does this reduce income due to unpaid rents, it also increases costs for marketing to replace the lost tenants. 

The APM team handles:

good rent collection practices

responsive handling of repairs and maintenance

consistent and fair enforcement of regulations

regular and informative communication with tenants

Not the Time to Sell

After weighing your options, you have decided to not list your property For Sale. Realizing the financial hit you would take in selling right now, the best option is to keep your property as an investment. But with that decision comes a tremendous amount of responsibility. There are so many "what-ifs" to consider. You don't want to get into a risky arrangement with a tenant, and you don't have the time to go through what could potentially be a lengthy, arduous screening process. And thoughts of dealing with late payments, problem tenants, or being contacted to do repairs at all hours of the day and night sets you on edge.

 

Attentive Property Management has the solution. 

 

We look forward to speaking with you about your property, your needs and concerns, and coming up with the best possible plan for you. We have experience managing all types of properties in Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C.

Your Property, Our Responsibility

Whether you own a single-family home, townhouse, or condo, Attentive Property Management offers the expertise of protecting your investment. It is our responsibility to care for, monitor, and be accountable for your property.

 

Initially, property owners often attempt to take on the role of property management, assuming that it will be an easy, money saving endeavour. After a while, the challenges are revealed and the stress takes hold. The owner begins investing more time, effort, work, and money into their property than they had anticipated. Throwing up their hands, they question if their investment is really worth it. Rest assured, having Attentive Property Management take the lead is the right course of action.

Services Tailored to Meet YOUR Needs

 

 

"As a property owner of rental properties myself, I understand the many needs of a landlord and the issues that tenants often encounter or cause. My experience with my own rental properties gives me an accurate perception of what having this investment means to you and your financial report card. 

I recommend asking your potential property management company or manager if they own any rental or investment properties themselves, so you know how well versed they are in handling your property. You wouldn't get your hair cut by someone who has never cut any one's hair before. Or would you?

From the steps from:

 

 preparing the property for marketing

 

to

 

monthly invoicing

 

or

 

monthly rents received

 

 we strive to follow procedures that ensure accuracy and reliability  

We understand there is no 'cookie cutter' approach that works well, so we customize our owner agreements to facilitate your needs. If you're away in another country or just across town, we tailor our services to your specific situations and are dedicated to being accountable to you, our owner(s), for placing your trust in us.
 

I am happy to discuss the options, outline our services, and put it in writing. Please email me directly at: Marketing@attentive-pm.com.

Proudly serving the Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia and the Metropolitan area of Washington, DC."
