What do property managers in Northern Virginia do?
If this is your first-time hiring a rental property manager, 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 eager to provide more information.
Collect Rents
Nesbitt Realty puts funds from rent 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 an accounting of all income 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, we deal with HOA/COA. If the tenant has violated homeowner or condo association rules, we give written notice to the tenant and take steps to put your tenant 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 Maintenance
Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches maintenance personnel when needed. We try to get work done in a timely fashion at a price and quality acceptable to the real estate investor.
Inspections
Nesbitt Realty inspects the property at the time of move-in at the time of move-out and from time-to-time while the tenant is occupying the property.
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.
