Keller Williams Consultants Realty

Thank you for considering the Real Property Solutions Team at Keller Williams Consultants Realty for your investment property management. Our mission is to help you protect your investment and provide the best customer service possible. We take pride in being a company that is reliable, honest, and trustworthy.

We realize you have options when it comes to choosing a property manager. We know that our clients choose us because we go above and beyond, offering property owners and tenants alike the best possible service. We strive to build a great relationship between both our tenants and our clients, acting as a professional and caring liaison. At Real Property Solutions, our team of professionals provides excellent services, which has helped push us to the top of the field in the area.

Speaking of "area", we are not just local, we are hyperlocal. There are many larger property management companies that attempt to manage your property from somewhere else in state or even somewhere across the country. That is not us! We are located in Grove City Ohio (Southwest of Columbus). We live and work right here in the area which means we can quickly take action when needed and simply care more about that property than a manager that thinks of your property as just another number to them. 

OUR PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

We are pleased to take an approach to property management that allows you to kick back and relax. We handle all aspects of the property, but do allow for you to take on some responsibilities if you prefer. However our service is designed to allow you to relax where you can also keep tabs on your property online in the comfort of your home anywhere in the world.

CUSTOM MARKETING PLAN

Without an effective marketing strategy, your rental property could sit empty for a while, costing you money. At Real Property Solutions, we are experts when it comes to effectively marketing rental properties and will use our skills to help assess your property and design a custom marketing plan. In addition to providing individual services, we also conduct a market analysis annually so that we can provide you with information regarding the current market, so you can make informed rental rate decisions.

Some of the methods we use for our custom marketing program include:

Zillow Suite of Sites - We actively market on all Zillow websites. Yes there is a daily charge, but we have found that we have to be where the prospects are searching. So it is worth it to be present, even if there is extra charge for this. 

Rently - this is partially a syndication service that quickly gets all of our listings out to hundreds of rental websites. However they are also a showing service that allows us to make homes viewable at any time of the day. 

Local MLS - We find that it is important for your property to be found by all local Realtors. So we will typically add your property to our local MLS if we haven't already lined up a tenant before the home is ready to be shown. 

Real Property Solutions website – This website receives a lot of traffic and is hot spot for finding local rentals. We include your property pictures, information, and a rental application to keep it convenient for those close by or who may be moving into the area.

10 Reasons to Hire the Real Property Solutions Team! 

If you've owned income property for any length of time, you know that owning a rental can be financially rewarding. At the same time, you've also likely discovered that managing the property requires a large commitment of time and effort.

While it may make sense to take the do-it-yourself approach if you're a handy person, live close to your property, and don't mind devoting several hours per month to the task, in many cases this just isn't practical---especially if you own more than one property and still work a full time job. With this in mind, here are some critical tasks our team can help you with:

1. Setting the right rental rates: While looking through the classifieds to see what other landlords are charging for similar properties is a fine way to ballpark your rent price, we will conduct a thorough market study in order to set a rental price for your property, ensuring that you achieve the perfect balance between maximizing monthly income and maintaining a low vacancy rate.

2. Collecting and depositing monthly rent payments on time: If you've ever worked in a billing department, you know that securing payment from clients can be difficult, not to mention awkward. We have efficient, tried-and-true systems in place to effectively collect rent and maintain on-time payments. You'll find this particularly important if you have a limited number of properties, and collecting payments on time is crucial to maintaining your cash flow.

3. Marketing and advertising your property: Through many years of experience, we know exactly where to market your property and how to craft compelling advertising materials---a significant advantage when it comes to filling your properties quickly and avoiding long vacancies.

4. Finding the right tenants: We are experts at finding good tenants, and will take care of all the details, including the securing all criminal background and security checks, running credit reports, verifying employment, and collecting previous landlord references.

5. Managing tenants: In addition to finding good tenants, we will manage all aspects of the tenant-landlord relationship. We will handle both routine and emergency maintenance, take care of routine inspections, and manage any situations where conflict resolution is required.

6. Managing vendor relationships: We have relationships with maintenance workers, tradesmen, contractors, suppliers, and vendors that it's almost impossible for an independent landlord to duplicate. Not only will we get you quality work for the best price, we'll oversee any necessary maintenance projects.

7. Ensuring that you're in compliance with housing regulations and property laws: There is a multitude of applicable laws and regulations to abide by when renting and maintaining your rental property. These include local, state and federal regulations, as well as fair housing regulations. We can help you avoid lawsuits by keeping your property up-to-date and in compliance with these regulations.

8. Enabling you to invest in geographically distant properties: If you manage your own properties, you're pretty much limited to investment opportunities within a tight radius of your own home. By hiring us, you can take advantage of investment deals from any location you wish.

9. Maximizing the profitability of your time: By having us take care of the day-to-day aspects of running your income property, your free to spend your time with your family or friends or maybe identifying further investment opportunities.

10. Maximizing the profitability of your money: We charge a percentage of your property's monthly rental rate in exchange for our service. The rate generally runs 8%, which is less than the money you save by taking care of your property yourself (delays in renting, time involved handling calls and showing the property, over paying contractors, gas and time traveling to and from the property, calling tenants asking for rent each month, posting notices and most importantly putting the wrong tenant in your property).
