International Realty Plus Property Management is a professional property management company that specializes in evaluating and determining the perfect rental rate for various properties. Our team performs detailed documentation of the interior and exterior, including photographs, to provide recommendations on repairs and cosmetic improvements.
We gather data on rental rates in the area and work closely with owners to determine the best rental rate while discussing the pros and cons of different policies like accepting pets or allowing smoking.
We ensure that the home is marketable and ready for rent by cleaning it, adding to its interior appeal, and manicuring the landscaping to increase curb appeal. Our team creates tailored ads for the property advertising medium, including rental listing websites, MLS, print publications, signs, and fliers.
We also provide tenant screening and selection, which involves performing background checks to verify identity, income, credit history, rental history, etc. Our team grades tenants according to pre-defined tenant criteria before informing tenants who were turned down. We coordinate with law enforcement to remove tenants and their possessions from the unit in the event of an eviction.
International Realty Plus Property Management maintains all historical records, provides annual reporting, structured for tax purposes, and advises the owner on relevant tax deductions related to their rental property. We provide accounting property management services, make payments on behalf of the owner for mortgage, insurance, HOA dues, etc., and maintain detailed documentation of expenses through invoices and receipts, which are sent to the owner in easy-to-read monthly cash-flow statements offering a detailed breakdown of income and itemized expenses. We also arrange preventative maintenance services to preempt major repairs and monitor outdoor areas for maintenance, and removal of trash and debris. We maintain and monitor a 24-hour emergency repair hot-line and get multiple independent bids for larger renovation or rehab projects, and act as project managers overseeing the work.
When the tenant moves out, we inspect the unit and fill out a report on the property's condition and provide the tenant with the estimated damages while sending the balance of the security deposit to the tenant and forwarding any portion of the owner’s portion of the tenant deposit to the owner or hold in owner reserves for repairs.
Finally, we make sure the unit is clean, perform needed repairs or upgrades, re-key the locks, and put the property back on the market for rent. Of course, this is not all-inclusive, but it gives you a better idea of what to expect.
The final word I would like to add- the functions you will hear are probably all the same. The difference will be the Broker/Manager. Dwight A. McDonald has 30 years of experience, education and training, and a proven track record that most agents do not.
