If this is your first-time looking at hiring a property manager, you may want to know more about what exactly rental property managers do. If this free reference doesn't answer all your questions, we're always eager to provide more information.
Collect Rents
Nesbitt Realty deposits rents into an escrow account and from that account we disburse funds to pay bills, income to the property owner and fees to the property management company.
Keep Records
Nesbitt Realty keeps a record of all income and receipts. We send monthly statements to the landlord 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, we deal with HOA/COA. If the tenant is in violation of homeowner or condo association covenants, we provide written notice to your renter and take steps to put your renter in compliance. We keep you apprised of notices and necessary 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 Upkeep
Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches handymen as required. We strive to have work done in a timely fashion at a price and quality satisfactory to the property owner.
Inspections
Nesbitt Realty inspects the rental at the time of move-in at the time of move-out and from time-to-time while the lease is active.
Provide a Level of Separation
This is the one duty that no landlord 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.
