Below are questions that are frequently asked by our new clients.

Q: What determines the rent for my property?

A: The rental market is the determining factor of the rental rates. We will make a rent
recommendation to you based on our market analysis of your property and the current market
conditions.  You will determine the final rental rate prior to advertising the property.  

Q: Who pays for the marketing of my property?

A: We pay for all signage and labor costs related to marketing your property for rent.  We will also
place your property on our website as part of our service.  If the owner is interested in additional
advertising, the owner will incur the additional cost of advertising the available property on the
Internet or in local periodicals.

Q: If I want additional advertising to help my property rent quickly, what are my options?

A: We believe the best option for advertising available properties is our Internet Marketing Program.  
  • We are able to list your property on over 15 of the most used rental related websites for one
    month for $195.  
  • Your property will have a dedicated page; Internet ads are more detailed than newspaper
    advertisements.
  • Local and out of state renters are able to search for a rental prior to their moves.  
  • These websites drive unlimited leads which we will track for you.  
  • Newspaper ads are also a good source for making the public aware of your available
    property.  If you wish, we can place a newspaper advertisement about your property.  Dallas
    Morning News AND Star Telegrams ads run approximately $200 for 10 days (online and print)
    for 5 lines of print.  

Q: What is typically involved in preparing a property for rent?

A: Generally, you should expect to make the property move-in ready for a resident. We will evaluate
the property and quickly inform you of what is needed to make the property ready for move-in (if any
changes are needed). Your property will rent quicker and demand a higher rental value if it is in
good condition.

Q: How are residents selected?

A: Our resident screening process is thorough and comprehensive to ensure we select quality
residents.  We carefully screen each prospective resident’s application and verify rental,
employment, and credit history to obtain a report which includes evictions and criminal history.

Q: Who pays for maintenance and repairs to my property?

A: The owner pays for maintenance and repairs, unless there is a rare case where the resident has
agreed to assume responsibility.
