Q. How can I evaluate the “real” cost of property management?
A. Unquestionably, the largest expenses associated with property management is, the result of vacancy rate and quality of tenant performance. Only by comparing the resources and services that address these concerns will one come to an understanding of the cost that may result from choosing one property management company over another.

Also, we have a sizeable leasing staff that allows us to be open for business 6 days a week. We rent about eighty-five percent of our homes without another broker involved. We have a flat fee of $500. For the procurement of any qualified Tennant. Why pay more? Additionally, we have an extensive referral network.


Q. How much do property management services cost? 
A. The minimum management fee is eight percent (8%) of the rental amount.  In addition to the monthly management fee, an owner should expect $500. costs per each new tenancy for commissions paid to the Broker. This will include move-out and move-in home inspections and Use of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The $500. commission is charged only after a tenancy is fully executed.

Q. What are the current market conditions for renting a house?
A. The Florida economy is in a decline as is much of the country. However, the “rental market” is faring well. People are moving in record numbers from homeownership to tenancy. This is especially true on the Treasure Coast. Property values have plummet and most economists predict this market to remain
unchanged for some time to come. It is now more important than ever to manage your investment property defensively. Vacancy and Collection losses are on the rise due to poor management. It’s important to understand your local economy and adjust to its changes. Aggressive marketing and  knowledge of the rental demographics for each specific area of the Treasure Coast is necessary to minimize loss.

Q. How long will it take to rent my house?
A. There are multiple factors that have to be taken into consideration to answer this question. Here are some general guidelines, however, keep in mind that amenities, pricing, and location are important factors in predicting success. It is important to know that the time required to rent a property is region specific with some areas renting relatively quick and others continuing to be a challenge. Several management companies are now advertising "no Deposit", "bad credit OK", lease option with no qualifying", "no rent payment for 30 days", etc. We believe that renting to an unqualified tenant is nearly always a big mistake and that you may pay dearly for that mistake in the very near future. We encourage high standards for tenants be in balance with the demographics and economy. A property priced right will usually rent within 30 days. Because of the uniqueness of each home, we will work up a rental market analysis for you at no charge.

Q. If I place my home in property management, how much control do I have in making management decisions. 
A. As much or as little as you want. Take for example maintenance decisions. Most owners place $500 in a maintenance trust to be used in case of minor repairs. They don’t want to be notified every time a faucet leaks. However, if there is a more expensive repair, they do want to be contacted and involved in evaluating the bids and choosing the vendor. We will work out an understanding with you about the degree to which you want to be involved in tenant selection, maintenance and repair issues, setting rental rates, etc.
