Owners

INSPECTION AND EVALUATION OF THE PROPERTY:

1. To determine prevailing rent under current market conditions and repairs necessary in order to prepare the unit for rent.
2. Walk through after tenants have vacated to make decisions regarding the return of security deposits.
3. Inspection of properties periodically to assess general upkeep/condition of the unit and advise of any upgrades or improvements required.

ADVERTISEMENT OF PROPERTY:

We will write and place advertisements for the property, and with your approval, a "For Rent" sign will be placed on the property to facilitate the leasing effort. We advertise all listings on our Multiple Listing Service, our website, social media, WilmingtonRent.com, VacationHomeRentals.com, Craigslist, Hot Pads, Trulia and Zillow in order to get maximum exposure for your property. We pay all advertising expenses.

SHOWING OF PROPERTY:

We will arrange showings of the vacant units to prospective tenants, and personally show those units that are furnished through the year.

UTILITIES:

Provide new tenants with information to transfer all utilities to their name once rented.

EMERGENCY - AFTER HOURS:

Our staff carries a cell phone 24 hours a day in order to respond immediately to emergency maintenance issues that could otherwise displace tenants and cause property damage.

SECURING A LEASE:

We will make every effort to secure a tenant, which meets our specifications and approval. We screen prospective tenants via an online credit reporting agency (credit, income, employment, prior residences, criminal history and evictions history). We will secure a written lease, signed by a tenant, as well as collect a security deposit/non refundable pet fee if applicable. We ensure that the lease complies with the Residential Rental Agreement laws of North Carolina, and negotiate lease renewals and rent increases as required.

COLLECTION OF RENT/COURT ACTION:

We will collect tenant’s rents and make disbursements of these funds as directed by you. We follow up with late/final notices if applicable. We maintain files on all tenants, including current charges, late charges, security deposits, pet fees, utilities etc. When necessary, and with approval, we will institute and prosecute such Judicial actions and proceedings as required to recover rents and/or evict tenants.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING:

Accounting and monitoring of individual balances. We maintain complete records on each rental unit, including back up documentation for both revenues and expenditure. You will be furnished a statement for your property each month. We will provide an IRS Form 1099 to owners at the end of each year which reflects gross income collected during the year.

SECURITY DEPOSITS:

Security deposits, in the amount allowed by law, will be collected and deposited in a trust account in compliance with the laws of North Carolina.

We will arrange and supervise any necessary repairs and maintenance to your property. We perform "competitive shopping" for the best quality of workmanship wherever possible. If you prefer handle repairs yourself, we can accommodate that as well.
