Looking For Property Management In Sacramento

By Bonnie Contreras


Property management in Sacramento has many faces. The number of agencies in the city is enormous and they cover both commercial and residential listings. There are basic services that all of the agencies offer and a few agencies that go above and beyond the basics. The agencies that go beyond the basics are the ones that will assure a quality level of tenant for your rental.

The first part of the screening process should be a credit check that is done when accepting the application. The potential resident generally pays for the credit check. When the credit check comes back the agency will verify the references given by the applicant and the rental history will be verified at the same time.

You can expect that your agent will thoroughly evaluate the home you want to list. They will check for needed repairs and take photographs of inside and outside views of your house. This action will also give you an idea of what level of rent you may expect to charge. At this point it is wise to discuss what will and will not be allowed by residents who rent form you.

Curb appeal is a very basic marketing tool. The house will need cleaning by a professional team and the yard work will have to be taken care of while waiting for an occupant. Your agent will take pictures of the property and list it in printed publications as well as the website listings. Another venue is to post a sign and supply fliers for passers bye to take.

Marketing will also include the services of showing the home, providing information to prospective tenants, distributing and collecting applications and working with other realtors and leasing agents in an effort to find tenants. They must then screen the prospective tenants and inform them as to whether or not they have been accepted.

When the unit is rented the agent is then responsible for collecting the rents and deposits, signing the leases and going over everything with the new resident. They must also do an in depth inspection of the house with the resident to find any faults and be certain the new resident is completely happy with the unit. A blank check list is sometimes left with the tenant to fill out and return to the land lord within a few days.

When the unit is rented your agent then must collect rents in a timely fashion, issue late fees for those who are late with their rent, issue maintenance requests as needed and handle any legal aspects that may arise. You can expect the agency to do yearly inspections of all units as a means of determining if there are any safety or maintenance issues. You should receive written reports each time there is activity concerning your rental as well as a detailed report of inspections.

If you are seeking quality property management in Sacramento you will find exactly what you need. The multitude of companies available to choose from will give you many options to choose from. The company that gives you all of the services that you are looking for should be the same one that lets you stop being concerned about your property on a day to day basis.
