About me and property management.
I started owning rental properties in 1983. I've owned as many as 28 units at one time over the years. One of my main motto's of property management is: "I will not rent (or manage) a unit that I wouldn't be happy living in myself."
In 1991 I received my real estate license and worked with Coldwell Banker. This is where I met my wife Bethanne Baer. You might say I was the very first member of "The BEAR TEAM".
As you know the "The BEAR TEAM" is now part of Keller Williams Realty. One of the many advantages of this move is "The BEAR TEAM" can now offer you property management here in the Conway Area.
Team actions in property management.
We handle the placement of all advertising signs, website advertising, and referrals. We do not charge the owner for advertising. Rental listings are posted on over 10 websites free of charge.
We collect rents and provide monthly statements. We review the rents at the end of each lease period to assure that your property is receiving its best income potential according to the prevailing market conditions.
We receive and process all calls from the advertising. We show the property and we require a detailed rental application to be completed, then each application is thoroughly evaluated and screened before approving a prospective tenant.
We maintain a good professional relationship with each tenant. Our goal is satisfied long-term tenants who pay the rent on time and take care of the property.
We require ample security deposits corresponding to the monthly rent to secure the tenant's pledge of full compliance with the terms of the lease. Security deposits are held in an escrow account according to Florida Statutes.
We have experienced maintenance and repair people available to handle all needs as they arise. These professionals have been chosen because they have proven to be honest and competent, and their services are reasonably priced.
We maintain regular office hours in our Conway office 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM weekdays. All of our property managers have e-mail accounts for communicating with our owners and an on-call person is always available after hours for emergencies.
Our management fee is a small percentage of the gross monthly rent collected, and our leasing fees are reasonable and competitive. When your property is vacant, we are working actively to advertise and secure a suitable tenant, and we are continuing to take care of all the maintenance and repair needs, if any, as they become necessary.
