What do rental property managers in Northern Virginia do?
If this is your first-time hiring a property management company, you should want to know more about what exactly property management companies do. If this free reference doesn't answer all your questions, we're always happy to provide more information.
Collect Rents
Nesbitt Realty puts rents into an escrow account and from that account we disburse funds to pay bills, income to the landlord and fees to the property manager.
Keep Records
Nesbitt Realty keeps an accounting of all money and payables. We send monthly statements to the property owner and at the end of the year we prepare a 1099 tax document and an annual statement for tax preparation. These records are also available electronically if you prefer.
Deal with the Association
When required, your manager will deal with HOA/COA. If your renter is in violation of HOA/COA covenants, we give written notice to your renter and take steps to put the tenant in compliance. We keep you apprised of notices and required actions.
Legal Compliance
Nesbitt Realty ensures that your rental property complies with state laws, local Northern Virginia ordinances, licensing requirements, association rules, Fair Housing laws, insurance requirements, IRS requirements.
Handle Repairs
Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches handymen when required. We try to get work done in a timely fashion at a price and quality satisfactory to the landlord.
Inspections
Nesbitt Realty inspects the property at the time of move-in at the time of move-out and from time-to-time during tenancy.
Provide a Level of Separation
This is the one duty that no real estate investor can perform. A level of separation ensures professionalism is always maintained and personal feelings do not enter into the equation. Nesbitt Realty manages tenant relations including maintenance requests, late fee notices. We deal with a laundry list of tenant problems:
- unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets,
- parking issues,
- tenant cleanliness,
- noise violations,
- neighbor complaints, etc.
If necessary, we manage the process of prosecuting actions to evict Tenants.
