RENTAL SERVICES
We Market your Rental Property We manage properties for clients who own property in all areas of the Houston Metro area. Some of our clients live in the area and do not have time to manage their properties and other clients have been transferred out of the area or inherited homes that they would like to keep as investments. All of our clients, depend on us to keep an eye on their property and ensure its safekeeping. We orchestrate the entire leasing process, from getting the home listed on the MLS to running a credit check, background check and negotiating the lease terms. Most Tenants use a Realtor, which increases the number of renters who will see your home. Additional exposure that we provide through the MLS and the Internet brings you a higher rent rate and quicker lease. The MLS has over a million viewers a month and we syndicate your listing to every major internet website available (including my own). We are very familiar with competitive houses so we can help you price and position your home aggressively. It is hard negotiating for yourself. We have lots of experience in writing contracts and can negotiate aggressively on your behalf. Tenants are not always forthright about their financial situation. We review their rental history, job history, credit and criminal back ground. Being accessible to show your home limits your personal time and cuts down the available showing time. When you list your home with us, your property will be available during normal showing hours and the prospect will always be accompanied by me or another Realtor. We have experience in drafting lease terms to protect our clients.

We Syndicate your home to the Internet Traffic to the online real estate marketplaces is sky rocketing. The power of the web is growing. I have been able to successfully establish myself online so that I am able to tap in to this steady stream of real estate shoppers. The web is now by far the most important advertising medium for real estate. Fortunately, I ve managed to stay ahead of this trend, and continually work to increase my web presence so that I can push listings to more places very quickly, putting properties in front of online buyers. Not only do I advertise your listing on HAR (with over 2 million viewers per month), my website and Zillow, Realtor.com and Trulia (which is utilized by 51% of homebuyers) as featured ads, I also advertise your listing on the busiest real estate marketplaces on the internet, including GoogleRealEstate.com, Cyberhomes.com, Chron.com (the Houston Chronicle), The Galveston Daily News (online) and Homes.com. 96% of Homebuyers between 25 and 44 used the internet to look for homes. 90% of Buyers begin their search on the internet.
