What do property managers in Northern Virginia do?
If this is your first-time hiring a property manager, you should want to understand more about what exactly rental property management companies do. If this quick reference doesn't answer all your questions, we're always happy to help.
Collect Rents
Nesbitt Realty puts rents into an escrow account and from that account we disburse funds to pay bills, income to the real estate investor and fees to the property management company.
Keep Records
Nesbitt Realty keeps a record of all money and receipts. 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 homeowner or condo association. If the tenant has violated homeowner's association (or condo association) rules, we give official notice to the tenant 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.
Manage Repairs
Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches maintenance personnel as required. We try to have work done in a timely manner 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 during tenancy.
Provide a Level of Separation
This is the one duty that no property owner 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.
