Collect Rents
Nesbitt Realty puts 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 manager.
Keep Records
Nesbitt Realty keeps a record of all income and payables. 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 necessary, we deal with homeowner's association (or condo association). If the tenant is in violation of homeowner or condo association covenants, we give written notice to your 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 Maintenance
Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches handymen as needed. We aim to have work done in a prompt fashion at a price and quality acceptable 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 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.
