Listing Your Property for Lease
Leasing your property involves strategic planning, market analysis, and goal setting. We enhance your property's appeal, manage showings, and thoroughly screen tenants. Karla handles all details, from lease agreements to pet policies, ensuring a streamlined and profitable process.
 
 
 
Leasing Process

1. First Contact

Provide property address and relevant details for market research.

2. Initial Meeting (ideally on-site)

Discuss & establish goals and expectations. Review Comparable Market Analysis & projections, put together a tentative timeline, and address any questions or concerns. Schedule a house walk through.

3. House Walkthrough

Assess condition of the house: needed repairs, note upgrades, and brainstorm ideas to stage and improve presentation of the house. Put together a list of any potential fixes/upgrades that need to be done prior to listing the house on the rental market.

4. Staging & Photography

 Declutter spaces, de-personalize, make the home "show" ready for photographs and showings. Photography will be scheduled two weeks prior to the house going on the market to allow editing. Prior to photos, you'll want to mow the yard/do any landscaping a couple of days before. 

5. Live on MLS

Schedule showings. We will use a scheduling service that will send e-mail or text notifications when someone requests an appointment. If a tenant is currently occupying the property, determine any showing restrictions in advance. Ask them to be flexible and try to keep clutter to a minimum.

6. Tenant Screening

Potential tenants will be asked to pay for an application packet which will include criminal background and credit score checks, as well as allow them to fill out an application regarding their tenant profile. These reports will be generated and submitted to the property owner for review and decision making.

7. Lease Agreement:

Once a tenant is approved, Karla will draft the lease agreement, collect signatures from all parties involved, and ensure any monies due to the property owner are received prior to relinquishing the keys to the property. 

8. Things To Consider

-Pet policies & fees
-Payment deadlines & penalties
-Included appliances & services
-Preferred method of payment
-Preferred method of communication with tenants.
