Renting a home is a long and arduous process that requires a lot of knowledge about the industry and community.
A good Property Manager must have all the knowledge, ethics, and trust required in a real estate agent; time and experience within the rental market; and the positive attitude needed to fulfill the ongoing tasks necessary to protect their owners' investments!
These are the many services you will receive by listing your rental with RE/MAX Connect. Here are just a few of the many responsibilities that our Property Manager, Amanda Tate, assumes.

Before a home is listed for rent, the Property Manager needs to conduct a market analysis to find the best price for the property. Once the market trends have been analyzed, they can recommend a rental price entry point. They can also then provide a staging consultation as needed.
Once terms are discussed and prep work on the home is complete, they will provide the property management agreement paperwork, as well as the state & national property owner disclosures necessary to begin listing the home for rent.

A property manager will consistently keep up with lease processing, termination and renewals throughout each year. This includes contracts and documentation, move-in and move-out inspections with detailed reports and ensure that owners are kept up-to-date with changing market value recommendations.
Throughout the Year
Among all these responsibilities, the most important is that Amanda will consistently communicate with you and ensure the safety and stability of owners and renters.
