DILIGENT PLACEMENT: Our staff accepts calls and inquiries regarding your home, arranges appointments and coordinates showings of your property.
We have an impressive track record in placing quality residents. We attribute this success to our extensive marketing efforts, screening process and commitment to exceptional service. We believe the most important part of professional property management is finding a quality resident for your home.
Most important is our reputation. Llewellyn management is known for quality homes and professional management practices. Promotion efforts include media advertising, rental brochures, signs, flyers and our web site. We receive many inquiries by e-mail and have custom software that matches residents with available homes.
Overview of Marketing Resources
After a potential resident is located we conduct an extensive screening process. This process includes credit reports, reference checks and personal interviews. After acceptance, we complete negotiations, execute contracts, process documents and place the resident in the home.
Overview of Resident Screening
PROFESSIONAL MANAGEMENT: We collect rent, deal with resident issues, periodically inspect the property and personally supervise the home. We provide an "arms length" relationship between owner and resident.
By maintaining excellent relations with our residents and diligently caring for your property, we avoid most potential problems. Residents are informed of their responsibilities regarding your property and their contracts. We will quickly and professionally settle any problems that may arise, with our clients’ interest in mind.
If there is a problem, whether it is collecting rents or settling resident disputes, we will handle the situation appropriately. We are knowledgeable in all the legal and contractual relationships involved in renting property. If necessary, we are prepared to make a court appearance.
We utilize quality control procedures and proven business practices in the management of your home. In addition to the routine management of your home we are on call 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
Overview of Managing the Property
QUALITY MAINTENANCE:
We employ only the most skilled and reliable maintenance personnel. The actual maintenance expenses for the home are the responsibility of the homeowner. Every effort is made to control maintenance costs while maintaining the integrity and value of the property. Problem reports are verified to eliminate unnecessary service calls. Maintenance that is the resident’s responsibility or fault is billed to the resident. All maintenance personnel are properly licensed bonded and insured. Our staff oversees maintenance and contractors are not paid until all work is satisfactorily completed.
MONTHLY FINANCIAL REPORTING: Property managers provide monthly statements for your rental income and expenses.
We can handle all your accounting and payment requirements. Income checks and property statements are processed by the 10th of the month. Proceeds are either mailed each month. A complete statement of your property account and an income statement are provided each month. Account history is stored on-line for three years. We can quickly search your records on request. At the end of the year, we prepare a complete package for your tax preparer.
Other Services
MANAGEMENT FEES AND OTHER CHARGES:
Fees and charges will be addressed completely in the property management agreement. Examples of common charges for a standard management service are: flat percentage of rent or a percentage of rent plus fees for individual services. Example of possible other fees are placement fees for locating a resident and/or charges for advertising, referral fees, lease renewals, fee for closing an account, and miscellaneous administrative expenses.
Llewellyn Management’s fees are very competitive and are based on the services you request. Services are usually computed as a percentage of the rent, a flat fee, or a combination of both. The client controls the level and type of services. Services range from standard property management package or a combination of standard management and other services. We would be happy to meet with you and design a management package that fits your needs.
