On market inside five business days

Hand it over and stop thinking about it

Most owners come to us either because they are tired of self-managing or because their last manager stopped answering. Either way the first week looks the same, and it is on this page.

The first week, in order

What actually happens

Six stages. Nothing here waits on you chasing us, and nothing above your approval threshold gets spent without a written yes.

Full management in detail
  1. Day 1

    Call or send the form

    We ask for the address, the current status and whether there is a tenant in place. Five minutes on the phone tells us more than any form, so most owners just call.

  2. Day 2 to 3

    Walkthrough and rent estimate

    A manager visits, photographs the current condition, builds a comparable set and writes a rent range with a days-on-market figure for the month you can list.

  3. Day 3

    Make-ready scope

    A written scope split into must do, should do and can wait, with a cost against every line. You decide what gets spent, and you are free to use your own trades.

  4. Day 4

    Management agreement

    Signed electronically. You set your repair approval threshold, your reserve level and how you want to be contacted. The broker signs it off personally.

  5. Day 5

    Photography and on market

    Professional photography, a floor plan sketch and listing copy written by a person, syndicated the same day. Showings start immediately.

  6. Ongoing

    First statement on the tenth

    Rent collected, fees charged, repairs with invoices attached, reserve balance. Your draw lands between the 10th and the 12th.

Switching from another manager

You can move mid-lease. The tenant stays, the lease stays, and the deposit moves into our trust account with a reconciliation against the lease.

  • We request the lease, ledger, deposit funds, keys and condition reports from the outgoing manager
  • We write to the tenant introducing the change before it takes effect
  • Deposits move into our trust account and are reconciled against the lease
  • County, city and HOA registrations are checked and brought current
  • Usually complete within two weeks, and there is no charge for the transfer

Start with the number

Before anything else, find out what the property should rent for and what it would net. If the answer is that you should sell it rather than let it, we will tell you that too.
