What we do for the landlord
Unlike many realty offices that spread themselves thin with multiple service platforms – and are primarily focused on listing and selling your home – we only specialize in marketing and bringing qualified individuals to your door. The marketing and screening processes are similar to those of a full-service property management company, but at a fraction of the cost, with the added advantage of not burdening you with a long-term commitment to a property management relationship even after your home is rented.
Marketing
Apartment Finder San Diego recognizes that just placing an advertisement in the newspaper or online and waiting for the phone to ring does complete the rental process. We constantly look for innovative ways to market rentals for our clients. We actively engage prospective renters to view individual properties that meet their needs. In addition, our resident locator service is tailored to bring our qualified applicants directly to our listings site in order to find a suitable match.
Internet
We use the Internet and advertise on many web sites designed to maximize your rental exposure. More often than not, prospective residents rely on the web as a quicker and more efficient venue for finding a place to live.
Paper Media
Apartment Finder San Diego places advertisements in local papers as a listing service of available rentals, drawing prospective residents to our web site’s property information page, where prospective residents will have the opportunity to view property photos and specific details that will enhance your property’s rental appeal. Unlike many property management companies, we will absorb these costs instead of passing them on to our clients.
Additional Services
Move-in process
We can perform the move-in process on your behalf with the resident(s) and document the condition of your property’s pre move-in condition so that there is no misunderstanding at the time the resident vacates your property. (By providing this third-party image and written documentation process, clients are able to maximize their protection and mitigate any misunderstandings regarding the condition of the property upon move-out.)
Rent-Ready Advising
Additionally, we can also counsel you on how to bring your property to a marketable, rent-ready status. We have seen that a rental with good curb appeal and in a condition that highlights features and amenities brings top dollar. We also believe that following certain industry standards in conditioning a rental prior to marketing will ensure a reasonable market rent.
Lease and Rental Agreement Preparation
Finding a well-qualified applicant is only one of the steps to complete the rental process. Using well-written agreements and disclosures will further protect the landlord and ensure a smoother transaction with your applicant. We can provide you with all the applicable agreements that conform to California civil codes.
Market Analysis
Knowing your market is critically important prior to advertising your rentals. Equally important is knowing the nuances of the sub markets of your area, and knowing how to attract the right applicant pool. A market analysis of your rental will help you determine what you should rent your property for, and what advertising venues will work best for you.
Screening
Apartment Finder San Diego prescreens all residents. We can perform a credit check and an examination of past rental history. We can also verify employment to ensure that applicants meet your minimum income requirements.
Property photos
For clients who are not in a position to take photos of their property, we are able to come to your property and take digital photos so that we can market your property and its amenities to prospective renters.
Open house
For those busy clients who are not available to show their rentals, we can provide this service and save you time and money by letting us sell your property and its amities to prospective renters.
