Why You Need the Best Seattle Property Management Company

Marketing probably isn't the first thing you think of when you consider what a Seattle property manager can do for you. However, it's one of the most important things we do!

• Without professional marketing, your rental properties can sit empty for weeks or months.
• Long vacancy periods become very expensive for property owners.
• Every day that your property doesn't have a renter is another day that you lose money.

However, many investors don't realize that they could have a marketing problem—not a problem with their rental property.

Better Marketing Brings Better Renters

Finding high-quality renters (quickly) starts with how you advertise your rental. If you pull together a few details, take a few snapshots with your phone, then post your property on a couple of social media sites, you're not reaching your audience.

• With professional Seattle property management services, we take your listings to the next level and make sure that a broad audience sees your property—and that the listing attracts excellent potential residents. 
• Compelling text, professional property photos, and listing on every major rental search website brings more visibility to your property.
• We also start with the best monthly rental price, using market research to determine the ideal rate to help you make more money while staying competitive.

If you're struggling to find quality renters or 'sell' your Seattle rentals through effective listings, a property manager can boost the quality of your listings to help shorten vacancy cycles.

Sometimes renters can be the most challenging aspect of generating income through real estate. Finding high-quality renters is hard enough. Building positive professional relationships and handling accommodation requests can test the patience of even the most seasoned rental property owner. 

If you love rental property income, but you don't enjoy dealing with residents, the right property manager can handle them for you. We know that professional renter management and good relationships help reduce vacancies to generate more income for rental property owners.

However, no two Seattle renters are the same—and every situation requires a professional response to care for renters while protecting your properties and income.

We Handle the Good and the Bad

The good news is that with excellent marketing and a thorough screening process, real estate investors can enjoy many more excellent renters than bad residents. When you find high-quality renters, they make it easy and enjoyable to be a rental property owner. 

Good Seattle renters pay the rent on time, take excellent care of your property, and let you know about maintenance issues before they become expensive emergencies. When these renters come along, we do everything we can to encourage a renewal when their lease ends: we want them to stay because they are good for your investments!

However, not every renter is a good experience for property owners. Without a screening process, a 'bad' renter can look 'good' on their application. Sometimes, even when a renter passes the screening and meets your criteria, the relationship goes south during their lease term. 

An expert Seattle property management company has the resources to deal with any resident. We help investors:

• Avoid bad renters by applying a thorough (and fair) screening process
• Recognize the red flags that point out a 'Serial Squatter'
• Deal with renters who start as excellent residents—but take a turn for the worst before their lease ends.

Owning rental properties in Seattle is a people business. With a professional property manager, investors don't have to worry that the wrong people will move into their rental homes or what to do if a resident stops paying the rent or damages their investment property.

Your Seattle property manager handles everything—starting with a screening process that reduces the potential for bad situations with renters.

Even with expert marketing and renter management, you'll struggle to find (and keep) quality renters if your properties aren't in excellent condition. Proactive property maintenance is a critical aspect of building financial success through real estate—but not every property owner has the skills to handle rental property maintenance and repairs.

If you're not good at fixing things, don't let that keep you from taking advantage of the Seattle rental market! Investors don't need to repair properties or conduct routine maintenance on their own. The right Seattle property management company does it all for you.

High-quality renters prefer properties that offer professional maintenance services. With a property manager, their rental home stays in excellent condition throughout the year—even through the changing seasons. Renters also know that if something goes wrong (no matter the time of night), they can reach someone to make emergency maintenance requests—and actually receive a response.
