Quick Tenant Placement - And, Our Tenants Pay or Leave
Quick Tenant Placement – And, Our Tenants Pay or Leave
Quick Tenant Placement – Our hungry agents are commission only. Unlike our salaried competitors, we don’t eat unless we find you a tenant. Our online applications are tied into the MLS, Craigslist, Realtor.com and over 50 websites. Your property will have video, photos and a super easy application for tenants to fill out online. We keep those application fees low so we can get as many prospects as possible.
Tenants Pay Or Leave – Tenants can pay online, at 7-Elevens or any CVS pharmacy. If tenants don’t pay, they leave. “Elegant Departures” are the most common form of evictions as “Lock Outs” are used as a last resort. Court appearances are no problem. We eat lawyers for breakfast. This page describes our eviction processes.

Litigation
Litigation
Unfortunately, this can happen from time to time. The majority of our lawsuits come from multi family properties. The more evil kind are the fraudulent “slip and falls.” Consequently, we discovered the best defense is a joint defense. We require that your insurance company make us “additionally insured.” In the event we get sued, your insurance company will defend both of us. Most insurance companies do not charge extra for this so you may want to consult with your insurance agent. Additionally insured is a mandatory requirement with us.
