"Are Property Managers Worth The Money?"
No one ever said on their deathbed: “I wish I’d spent more time managing my rental properties.”
If you are interested in letting someone else deal with your renters (and phone calls, and leaky toilets, etc.) let us give you THREE reasons why it might be a good move to hire us to manage your rental home:

Reason #1: Your time is worth more than the minimum wage
Let me ask you this: if someone came and offered you a job being a property manager for $9-15 an hour right now, would you take that job?

The average person managing their own home spends at least 10 hours a month doing so. And the average property management company in our area will charge $90-150 per month to manage your home.

And that works out to $9-$15 per hour. About the Federal Minimum Wage roughly. Let me modify what I said earlier: No one ever said on their deathbed: “I wish I’d spent more time managing my rental properties for $9-$15 an hour.”

Reason #2: You have just ONE life; do you really want to spend it talking to renters and fixing toilets?
Here are some of the things you can cross off your list if you hire us:

• Never have to talk to another tenant, ever.
“I love working with tenants!!” said NO ONE, EVER. Showing them the property. All the phone calls. Moving them out, moving them in. The damage to your home or, at the least, not treating it with the respect they should. Hire us and all that goes away.

• Stop playing collection agent.
If you are a DIY person, keeping your property in working order can be a part time job. And if you hire the work out, you STILL have to manage the process, meet the contractors at the home, get the bids, supervise the work, check that its done right. Hire us and all that goes away.

• Stop fixing toilets or meeting contractors at your property for bids to fix this thing or that.

Hire us and spend your time doing more things like this:

• Find more rental properties to buy and increase your net worth

• Spend time with your family in Hawaii

• Work on your golf game, go fishing, or just take a nap.
Remember: No one ever said on their deathbed “I wish I’d spent more time managing my rental properties.”

6. Pay For Results Guarantee

"Ok, if I let you manage my home, what will you do for me?"

• Find You a Quality Tenant Who Will Take Care of Your Home
We thoroughly screen all prospective tenants, handle all property showings, paperwork, etc. to ensure you get a great renter.

• We’ll Keep You and Your Home Out Of Legal Hot Water
We handle all contracts, documents and property issues while complying with all local and Federal laws

• Collect the Rent, Do the Accounting and Deposit Your Money in Your Account

Make sure tenants pay on time (and get after them if they don't!). Do the bookkeeping. And most importantly, we’ll make sure your money ends up in your bank account!

• Get Everything Handled from A-Z on Your Home
Tenant calls? We take them. Maintenance issues? We're on it. We treat your home like its our own.

"It all sounds good. But I’m still not 100% sure what I should do."

We understand. After all, we just met, right?
How about this: what if we gave you a free chance to see how we work, that didn’t cost you any money until we delivered results? No risk to you, would that be ok?

Here’s how it would work. You sign a management agreement (real estate law requires this before we can begin working on your behalf). Then we find you a quality tenant for your home. You don’t pay us a penny until we find you a great tenant. Sound like a fair trial?
