Owner Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: What types of properties does Eagle Realty Professionals, Inc manage?

• Q: Who determines the rent for my property?

  A: Ultimately, the market determines the rental amount for your property and it is our job to provide you with good, reliable market information regarding market rent rates. As such, we will always recommend market pricing to you but we allow our clients to choose the price point. New real estate investors may be tempted to set rent rates by their mortgage payment or what they have heard they can charge. However, this can directly impact vacancy rates and end up lowering your revenue long-term. Our local expertise in area rents can help you determine the best market rate for your property. You can rely on us to provide experienced guidance on the complex factors that will help you get the best return.

• Q: How long will it take to rent my property?

  A: We understand that a vacant property costs you money, and we specialize in faster rentals to rent-worthy tenants. We combine online with outdoor signs and other proven methods. We assist you by advising you on a marketable rent rate; getting the unit in “rent-ready” condition; responding quickly to show the property when an inquiry is made; conducting a thorough background/credit check on each applicant and keeping tenants happy once they are placed. The total time this process takes depends on the location, condition of property, amenities, season of the year, price, applicants’ background/credit check quality, restrictions on pets/smoking, etc. We do everything within our control to expedite the process. Properties in great condition generally rent faster.

• Q: Who pays for any maintenance that needs to be done on my property?

  A: Unless the tenant is responsible for damage or is negligent with regards to property maintenance, then owners bear the financial responsibility of paying for repairs.

• Q: How can I ensure my property is cared for?

  A: With our rigorous background and credit screening process, intentional damage is rare. Our renter incentives and responsive service creates tenants who are more likely to stay long-term and take care of the rental home. Additionally, when we walk thru the home three times a year, we can take steps early on to resolve problems and ensure the tenant is caring for your home. If there is damage to the property, we quickly act to return the unit to a “rent-ready” condition and lease to a new tenant. We also can assist you in assessing and collecting on the damage when necessary.

• Q: What if a tenant doesn’t pay or needs to be evicted?

  A: Even with careful tenant placement, late payments and even the need for an eviction can arise. Costly mistakes can be made if these issues are not handled correctly. We avoid evictions through incentives to pay rent on time and prompt collection processes. If an eviction is necessary, we manage the eviction process swiftly, professionally, and in compliance with state and local laws. The goal is always to get the property re-leased as soon as possible.
