Testimonials
Rental Valuation
How much rent can you get for your investment?
Our market analysis helps landlords and us make data-informed decisions about their rental property, including rate estimates and other information so they can invest and manage their investment property more wisely.
Services We Provide
As Your Hampton Roads Property Manager, We Take Care of Everything.
Marketing
We take in-house photos and videos of all our properties to showcase your home on our syndicated websites. 757 Rental Homes provides an expert market analysis for each property we manage, ensuring you maximize your return on investment while minimizing time on the rental market.
Tenant Screening
Our application screening process ensures that all tenants are qualified to rent your home. A weak screening process brings on weak tenants.
Rent Collection
Collecting rent can be a tedious task. We make this a convenient task by giving the tenant multiple ways to pay each month, and we have established processes in place for when rent isn't paid as it should.
Maintenance
With our years of experience, we've developed a maintenance system that ensures move-in and move-out conditions are thoroughly documented, and all maintenance issues are addressed in a timely manner.
Financial Reporting
With our detailed financial reporting tools, it's never been easier to keep tabs on your investment. Log into your owner portal to view statements and stay in tune with how your investment is performing.
Eviction Protection
In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from your rental, we work the process on your behalf. We will put together the eviction packet for the real estate attorney to ensure all legal steps are in compliance with the law and are filed as quickly as possible with the courts. On the day of the eviction, we will meet with the city deputies and document the condition of the home to recover any damages and get it back to rent-ready shape for a new tenant right away.
Marketing Your Rental Property
Dedicated Leasing Specialist
During the leasing process, we'll assign a leasing professional whose only goal is to get your property marketed and rented quickly. You can expect us to be checking on your property, showing it to prospective tenants, updating the listing on various websites, answering potential tenant questions, and communicating with you as needed. Our team will ensure your property is presented in its best light online and in person to secure a great tenant.
Professional Rental Market Analysis
Pricing the home correctly is one of the most important factors in getting it rented quickly. Overpricing the home will cause it to rent less quickly, costing you time and money. We start with a competitive rental price analysis, which combines market data with our professional knowledge of current market conditions to give you the most accurate rental price possible. This will get the home rented fast, and for the most part, the market will bear.
In-house Photos and Video Tours
If your property doesn't look good online, prospective tenants won't want to come view it in person. We take high-quality photos and video tours of our homes, giving potential applicants multiple ways to experience our properties so they get rented much faster.
Online Advertising Exposure
We market your property through the Real Estate Information Network (REIN). It then syndicates the listing to a wide range of websites, including all the popular rental sites like Zillow and Trulia. We keep the listings updated with recent photos, property descriptions, and will reach out to contact all online leads.
How We Screen Your Rental Applicants
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but we feel it's important to get the right tenant versus the fast tenant! Spending time up front and finding the best tenant for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
Oftentimes, people think they just need to do a quick credit check and verify employment, but there’s more to it than that. Our high-quality tenant screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following:
Once a tenant has received approval to rent a property, we require a security deposit for the home to be taken off the market.
Collecting Rent for Your Investment
Collecting rent is easy if you have the perfect tenant who pays on time. But what if they don't? Having someone in your corner who knows tenant law and the proper notices to send is critical!
If a tenant has gone beyond the grace period of the lease, we provide them with a late rent notice, promptly enforcing your rights as the landlord. In a worst-case scenario, if a tenant stops paying rent, we'll assist in the eviction process and re-rent the property quickly.
We make paying rent easy for tenants with the online tenant portal that can be accessed 24/7. We process all payment methods right away, which means we can pay you out faster.
Rent is due between the 1st and the 5th of each month. If rent is brought in after the 5th, it is considered late.
We aren't paid until you are!
Property Maintenance
We know that a well-maintained home results in quicker rental times, lower turnovers, and, in general, happier tenants! We offer our residents a secure portal to submit all maintenance issues, which can be accessed online with a simple click. We also offer 24/7 text messaging for an emergency response. Our vendors are trustworthy and very quick to respond. We coordinate and communicate with the tenants, with you, and with vendors for all maintenance scenarios. For us, maintaining your home so that your investment is protected is our top priority.
An electronic copy of the vendor invoices is emailed upon receipt and kept on file, easily available on demand.
