3. Shorter Vacancy Cycles

 
Attentive Property Management understands that the longer your property stays vacant, the more income you are losing - day to day, week to week, month to month. To ensure shorter vacancy cycles for your property in Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, or Washington, D.C., we take on the responsibilities of improving and preparing your property, determining the best rental price, and effectively marketing your property.


Making recommendations and overseeing improvements, Attentive Property Management will coordinate the efforts needed to improve your property to draw the maximum rental revenue. Investing in cosmetic changes can draw sizable payoffs in both rental rates, tenant retention, and shorter vacancy cycles.


In determining the most suitable rental rate, the Attentive Property Management team keeps a close eye on the fluctuating markets in all neighborhoods throughout Southern Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. We also have access to industry rental rate tools. If you set the rental price too high, then your property remains empty; if the price is set too low, then you are stuck with a lower income for as long as the tenant inhabits your property. Take full advantage of our knowledge and expertise in this area - you will be glad you did.


Marketing your property effectively is the third part of the equation in achieving shorter vacancy cycles. The advertising expertise of Attentive Property Management comes into play as we communicate the best aspects of your property to the largest possible audience, for shorter amounts of time, while staying within a reasonable budget. Once we cast the wide net, we field phone calls from interested parties, and move closer to finding the best tenant for you.

1. Higher Quality Tenants


 
Attentive Property Management has a comprehensive point-by-point system in place for screening potential tenants. We believe in obtaining high quality tenants to take residence in your property - the type of tenant we ourselves would feel comfortable renting our own properties to. We have found that the best tenants are those who have shown a serious track record with their employment history and/or academic achievements. The rule of thumb is that if a person has less to lose in life, the more you stand to lose by renting to them. Diligence goes a long way in finding the very best tenant for your property!

The Attentive Property Management
Tenant Screening Plan:
 
~ Contacts former landlords
~ Verifies income and employment
~ Runs credit report
~ Runs checks of public notice on bankruptcy, eviction, etc. 
~ Verifies authenticity of application information
~ Contacts personal references

The Top 10 Reasons to Choose Attentive Property Management


Learning from past mistakes means trying something different to achieve a positive result. For those who have attempted to manage their own property in the past, they have learned just how all-consuming it can be. When they first began, they thought it would be relatively easy - clean up the house/apartment/condo, list it, rent it, take the checks to the bank, and get a break on taxes. If that were the extent of it, there would be no absolutely no need for property management companies to exist.
 
Attention Property Management is in the business of growing and protecting your property. We have a proven track record of managing many types of properties for our clientele, thinking of every possible scenario and having safeguards in place. The top 10 reasons to contract with Attentive Property Management:
