What do property managers in Colonial Village do?

If this is your first-time hiring a property manager, you may want to learn more about what exactly rental property management companies do.  If this reference doesn't answer all your questions, we're always happy to help.

Collect Rents

Nesbitt Realty deposits rents into an escrow account and from that account we disburse funds to pay bills, income to the landlord and fees to the rental property management company.

Keep Records

Nesbitt Realty keeps a record of all money and receipts. We send monthly statements to the real estate investor and at the end of the year we prepare a 1099 tax document and an annual statement for tax preparation. These records are also available electronically if you prefer.

Deal with the Association

When required, we deal with homeowner's association (or condo association). If your renter has violated homeowner or condo association rules, we give notice to your tenant and take steps to put your renter in compliance.  We keep you apprised of notices and necessary actions.

Legal Compliance

Nesbitt Realty ensures that your rental property complies with state laws, local Colonial Village ordinances, licensing requirements, association rules, Fair Housing laws, insurance requirements, IRS requirements.

Manage Maintenance

Nesbitt Realty manages and dispatches handymen when required. We strive to get work done in a prompt manner at a price and quality acceptable to the landlord.

Inspections

Nesbitt Realty inspects the property at the time of move-in at the time of move-out and from time-to-time while the lease is active.

Provide a Level of Separation

This is the one duty that no property owner can perform. A level of separation ensures professionalism is always maintained and personal feelings do not enter into the equation. Nesbitt Realty manages tenant relations including maintenance requests, late fee notices. We deal with a laundry list of tenant problems:

  • unauthorized guests, unauthorized pets,
  • parking issues,
  • tenant cleanliness,
  • noise violations,
  • neighbor complaints, etc.

If necessary, we manage the process of prosecuting actions to evict Tenants.
