HOW IT WORKS

New Client Checklist

If you're ready to get started, the checklist below will guide you through the initial steps you'll need to complete.

NOTE: *Landlord Reserve is not a fee. It is a contingency account to be refunded at the conclusion of property management. *Utilities are placed under PMA name to ensure safe condition of property; landlord will be charged costs; vacant properties are checked for lawn maintenance, snow removal, winteriziation, HWH in vacation mode, thermostats operational, lights on timer, US mail, and other empty property pro-active actions.

Step 2

Complete as much of the Property Management Information Form as you can. We can assist you with any of the answers you don't know during the property assessment.

Step 3

Submit the completed forms along with a $100 application processing fee, as well as $500 for the landlord reserve account.
