Inquire About Our Services

• Marketing

  Marketing is the key to successfully renting your property. If you have the best property but no one knows about it or you ask for too much rent, it is going to stay vacant. We start off thoroughly analyzing the rents in your property’s area to understand comparable prices. Then we post your property to the national network of advertisers so we can maximize exposure for your property. Finally, we cross market using active leads to increase interest in your property.

• Tenant Screening

  Finding quality tenants is the single most important thing any property manager can do. With quality tenants, rents are paid timely, the property is maintained nicely, and the tenants stay in your property for years. To do this well takes a lot of work, but is money well spent by you. We do our part by conducting extensive credit and background screening on all tenants and utilizing our rigorous rental application.

• Rent Collection

  Ask any property manager about rent collection and they will tell you rent collection is easy until it is not. We have a proactive approach to rent collection which involves multiple emails, texts and phone calls prior to rent being late and after rent is late. We offer multiple options for payment; check, money order, ACH transfers, credit card, and automated payment processing at partner retailers. Tenants can pay online, mail us payment, put in our lockbox, or hand deliver. We try to take all of the tenant excuses out of paying rent!

• Maintenance

  When tenants have a problem with the property, they want it fixed immediately. As a process driven organization, we are always looking to improve tenant satisfaction. In this area, the only way to do that is with faster and better communication between the tenants and the vendors. We provide automated services to the vendors to better respond to the tenants all the while watching and judging their performance based on tenant feedback. These systems, when integrated correctly, keeps tenants happy and in your property for longer.

• Financial Reporting

  Financial reporting used to be what separated the good from the bad property management companies. These days, if you do not get automated financial reporting, your property manager is trapped in the 19th century and you need to run, not walk to a new company. Like any reputable property management company, we provide all financial documents on both a monthly and yearly basis so you can keep track of your investment.

• Eviction Protection

  Even with top of the line tenant screening, rent collection, and maintenance processes in place, things can still go wrong. Unfortunately, some tenants go through a divorce, have medical issues or lose a job and are unable to pay rent. Sometimes even with our best processes, an off-target tenant ends up in your property. For this reason, we are committed to offer you an eviction protection option, protecting you from eviction costs up to $2000, if desired.

• Animal Damage Protection

  Did you know that over 50% of tenants own a pet? This percentage is rising every year. Our company recognizes that the main reason an owner resists a pet is the fear of damage. By providing financial security through animal damage protection at no extra cost to you, we hope to remove your fear of pets damaging your property, allowing more tenants to qualify. By allowing tenants with pets, you will see increased rents and reduced vacancy periods, improving your investment performance.

Central Connecticut Area Information

Central Connecticut is a great place to live. The artistic community is alive and well in Connecticut with ever growing craft brewing companies, world-class theater, music, and dance performances at The Bushnell, Shubert and Goodspeed Opera House, as well as museums for every taste. For those who want to be outdoors, state and local parks and beaches offer the ideal setting for paddling, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, camping, bird watching, swimming, and picnicking. Are you trying to find the right town to live in? Connecticut provides a fantastic mix of urban, suburban, and rural communities to explore. Originally settled by Dutch fur traders in 1614, then later by English settlers in 1633, a vibrant rich history permeates the culture and landscape with many homes and buildings exceeding 250 years. With a moderate climate, Connecticut has beautiful autumn foliage, a long harvest season, and numerous berry farms and orchards for you to pick your own strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, pears, and apples. Three minor league baseball teams, NCAA Champion basketball teams, and several other sports teams call Connecticut their home. If that is not enough for you, we are only a short two hour drive from both New York City and Boston.
