What Does a Good Property Management Company in Winter Park Do?

Alvin Moore - Monday, April 17, 2017

Our topic today covers Orlando property management and what a full service property management company does for you in Central Florida. A good company should help with everything from A to Z.

Property Management Orlando: A to Z

A to Z means getting the property ready for the rental market, pricing it right, making sure there’s fresh paint and clean carpet, and keeping up the condition of the home. Everything must be done to get the highest return on your investment. There’s also advertising and marketing. A good property manager will put a lockbox on the door and show the house on weekends, after hours, and whenever it’s convenient to prospective tenants. Then, a property manager will take applications and screen the prospective tenants thoroughly.

Managing Rental Property in Winter Park and Orlando

Once the property is leased, a good property manager will collect a security deposit and hold it in a non-interest bearing account, as required by the Tenant Landlord Act. Your property manager will write up a strong lease that includes instructions on where, how, and when to pay the rent. They will get the contract in place, move the tenant in with documentation of the home’s condition, and provide a move-in and move-out checklist. Your manager will take care of any repairs before, during, or after the tenancy. You’ll know they are taken care of efficiently and effectively, and you’ll know you’re getting a good price for all repairs. Most property management companies will have a dedicated vendor list or keep a repair department of their own.

Property Management Communication and Relationships

A good management company will cover everything from tenant relations to vendor relations to owner relations. We will deal with your HOA and help with insurance issues. We can also offer bill paying services if needed and provide direct deposit of your money or a check every month when rent comes in. You’ll get paid consistently, and your managers will always be available to communicate with you.

A good property management company does everything from A (marketing and preparation) to Z (moving out tenants and returning a security deposit). Property managers make the experience better for tenants and landlords. If you have any questions about what we do, please contact us at Morehouse Realty.
