QUALIFIED STAFF
Licensed, experienced, dedicated, & dependable team members. Managing your real estate assets is an integral part of our real estate services, not a sideline. In addition to having proper real estate licenses, the principals are also investors and work with investors.
COMPREHENSIVE TENANT QUALIFICATION
Good tenants who pay the rent, take care of the property, and are good neighbors mean better returns on your investment. This begins with proper and timely screening. Through our online, automated systems, we are able to screen a tenant on the spot when showing a property and make profitable rental decisions quickly. This includes a complete analysis of:
- Credit worthiness as reported by national credit bureaus, including NSF checks and fraud detection
- National criminal search that includes sex offender and terrorist database searches
- National eviction history database search
- Resident rental history including payment performance and collections
We can then phone verify references and screening results as needed. The initial screening can be done on the spot electronically, at which time we can take a deposit and lock in a Tenant. We then verify appropriate information by phone. The qualification process can take up to two business days to complete but is generally complete the same business day.
ATTORNEY PREPARED LEASES AND EVICTIONS
Not only is it a best practice to have an attorney prepare the lease and handle all evictions, in the State of Florida, a Broker/Property Manager is not allowed, by law, to draft a lease, therefore, there will be an administrative charge to the Owner/Landlord of $35 for attorney's fees for preparation of the lease. The law firm preparing the lease deals primarily in Landlord/Tenant Law and will be LAW OFFICES OF HEIST, WEISSE, DAVIS & WOLK, P.A. The charges to cover these attorney's fee(s) will be collected from the first monies received. The attorney will be available to you and us at no charge for phone consultations in the event of disputes with the Tenant(s) or related issues and will provide a reduced price eviction if the attorney files evictions in the county where the property is located.
Lease preparation includes fully completed lease with optional clauses, additional agreement section, addendums such as mold addendum and pet addendum. Any errors are covered by the law firm and if the lease is not consummated or the deal falls through, then the charge is waived.
In addition to residential leases and eviction filing, they handle security deposit disputes, discrimination defense and general property management related litigation. They are available to us by phone, fax and email.
LEASING GUARANTEE
If a tenant qualified by SDPM breaks the Lease Agreement for any reason within the first six (6) months of tenancy, we will waive our customary leasing fee and re-rent your property for free.

DETAILED PROPERTY INSPECTIONS
We begin our relationship with a free property evaluation. Once you have hired us, we do an initial "Rental Ready" 132 point comprehensive inspection and written report with photos. No less than quarterly, we inspect and take pictures of the exterior of the property during tenancies. Bi-annually, we inspect the interior. If you want the more thorough property review annually (it is recommended - refer to the owner handbook for details), there is a flat fee of $100 for that.
