What services does Property Management New Westminster have to offer?
- No obligation rental assessments. You can use us to get an idea of what your place should rent for, even if you decide to manage your property yourself or use another management company. It’s free, and we’ll come to you, so why not?
- We offer both fully furnished and unfurnished management services. Maybe you’re moving away for a year, but don’t want to sell or place your furniture into storage? If so, give us a call.
- Proven marketing plans and marketing systems. We’ll get qualified, prospective tenants looking at your unit.
- Showings. We will show your unit over and over until we find the right people. This can be incredibly time consuming, particularly if you live a distance from your property.
- Background checks. We run full credit reports and contact employers, previous landlords, etc.
- Lease agreement signings. Our agreement is VERY comprehensive and will protect you in case of any disputes.
- Move in Inspections.
- Monthly rent collections. This can be another time consuming process. Post dated cheques often bounce and tenants need to be chased down, but we do this routinely each and every month.
- Damage deposit and pet deposit collections. These deposits are held in a trust account.
- Court proceedings and Residential Tenancy hearings should they arise. The idea is to avoid these costly avenues, but unfortunately sometimes these processes are necessary.
- Collections and garnishing wages/ evictions (should this be required.)
- Financial statements. You will receive a statement from us detailing all revenues and expenses each and every month.
- Maintenance services. We can handle all maintenance if you prefer using our own contractors, or we can leave maintenance in your hands. It really depends on your needs.
- Budgeting for maintenance and capital expenditures. All rental properties require routine maintenance, and sometimes the large capital expenses such as a new furnace or hot water tank can’t be avoided. We can help you prepare a budget to keep your maintenance expenses to a minimum.
- Inspection services. We can look over your property as often as you require. We have different packages to meet your specific needs.
- Full line Strata and Condominium Management services. We’ll handle everything for your strata corporation such as; all accounting functions, budgeting, maintenance and capital projects, obtaining insurance, handling all paperwork, running all required meetings, and just about anything else related to managing a strata corporation.
Why should we use Property Management New Westminster instead of the next guy?
- We have eliminated all lease up fees for all unfurnished rentals. We charge only 10% of gross rental income, AND no lease up fees!
- Quick response times to your questions. We strive to return all calls within 24 hours.
- We take our role in managing your property VERY seriously. We realize that your property is a very valuable asset to you, and we ensure that we never forget this when making decisions on your behalf.
- Experience that has been learned first hand, managing our own rental properties. Many of our properties are in rougher areas of town, and require creative management. This type of experience that we offer can’t be learned by reading textbooks.
- We are Property Managers first and foremost. Many real estate brokerages who offer both real estate sales and management choose to focus on the more profitable sales portion of the business, but we choose to focus on rental management.
- We manage smaller stratified buildings. Buildings with fewer than 30 units is where we focus our efforts.
- We specialize in up/ down suited bungalows, whether they are authorized or unauthorized suites. Due to the high housing prices in BC, we recognize the need for two sources of income to create any type of cash flow. The properties are more hands-on and require more babysitting, but can be much more profitable.
- We are experts in Residential Tenancy Arbitration. This is the unfortunate side of owning and operating rental properties. Oftentimes it cannot be avoided, and we are very familiar with this side of the business.
- We are licensed with the Real Estate Council of BC, which is mandatory for all Property and Strata Management companies in BC.
- We want you to make money investing in real estate. We will always do our best to manage your property like our own, keeping your revenues as high as possible, while keeping your expenses low.
