The Top 10 Services You Should Expect from Your Property Management Partner

What Exactly Does a Property Manager Do?

If you're considering hiring a property management company, you've likely wondered: "What exactly does a property manager do?" While many companies only handle the profitable aspects, we at Expert Property Management take a more comprehensive approach. Our goal is to ensure your success, because when you succeed, so do we.

Here are the top 10 things we do for you as your property management partner.

1. Tenant Screening: The Key to Long-Term Success

Screening tenants is the single most important task we perform. A well-vetted tenant can make or break your investment. We use thorough, proven screening processes to ensure that potential tenants not only have the financial means but also the track record to maintain their lease responsibly. We verify income, employment, and even look out for fraudulent documentation. From credit reports to rental histories, we leave no stone unturned. Our process eliminates about 70% of applicants who don’t meet our high standards, reducing potential issues before they even arise.

2. Targeted Marketing for Your Property

We don’t just wait for tenants to come to us. We actively market your property using paid syndication on top sites like Zillow, Trulia, and Apartments.com, driving high-quality leads back to our own platform for better control over the process. Plus, we list your property on the MLS, working with local real estate agents to get the word out. The result? A wider pool of potential tenants and higher-quality applications.

3. Strategic Pricing for Maximum ROI

Setting the right price is crucial to attracting the right tenant. We combine market data with our proprietary database of local property listings to provide you with the most accurate and competitive pricing. Our goal is to position your property effectively in the marketplace—balancing tenant interest with maximizing your rental income.

4. Legal Compliance and Liability Protection

Navigating the complex world of rental laws can be daunting, especially with frequent changes to regulations. We handle all the compliance for you, from state-specific laws to federal fair housing regulations. Ignorance of the law isn't a defense, so we make sure you're always on the right side of the legal landscape—saving you from fines and legal headaches.


5. Property Preservation through Inspections

We believe in proactive property management, and regular inspections are a big part of that. Before a tenant moves in, we conduct pre-listing inspections and create detailed documentation, including photos and videos. This not only helps keep your property in great condition but also holds tenants accountable. We continue to inspect the property throughout the lease term and before any lease renewals, ensuring that issues are caught early, saving you money in the long run.

6. Seamless Rent Collection and Secure Payments

Rent collection is more than just depositing checks. We process payments securely, ensuring your funds are transferred to you promptly each month. By using online payment portals and safeguarding against bounced checks, we guarantee you’ll receive your rental income on time. Plus, we pay an extra fee to ensure your funds are transferred overnight.

7. Timely Maintenance for Tenant Retention

One of the biggest reasons tenants leave is poor maintenance response times. We employ full-time, in-house handymen to address issues quickly, keeping tenants happy and minimizing turnover. By controlling both the timing and cost of repairs, we save you money and reduce the chances of vacancy.

8. Access to a Trusted Vendor Network

For larger or more complex jobs, we leverage our network of trusted contractors. Whether it's roof repairs or electrical work, we oversee every step of the process, from obtaining multiple bids to inspecting the final result. If you already have preferred vendors, we coordinate with them as well, ensuring a seamless experience for everyone involved.

9. Bulletproof Bookkeeping

Managing the finances of a rental property can be overwhelming, but with us, it’s a breeze. We provide detailed monthly reports and year-end statements that include everything your accountant needs to file taxes. No more sorting through receipts—just clear, concise financials that make tax time a breeze.

10. We’re Not You—And That’s an Advantage

One of the most powerful things we offer is a layer of separation between you and your tenants. As professionals, we handle everything with objectivity, ensuring that your business runs smoothly without the personal emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making. Our systems and processes allow us to manage properties more efficiently and effectively than you could on your own, saving you time, stress, and ultimately, money.
