When investors hear the term property management, they may just think it’s a company that maintains the property and deals with the tenants. But at TALK Property Management, we do so much more than that! Our property management services include marketing the property, finding tenants, maintaining the property, and accounting.
Marketing
If you have a vacant property and don’t know how to advertise your Austin property to prospective tenants, TALK Property Management can do that for you! We create a complimentary Comparable Market Rent Analysis to provide a recommended rent based on the current market. This helps you optimize your monthly rent and may reduce vacancies. Lastly, we market your investment by photographing your property, writing an enticing description, and advertising it using social media marketing, email marketing campaigns, yard signs, and more.
Tenants
When you choose TALK Property Management, we find you reliable tenants through a rigorous tenant screening process (always complying with the Fair Housing Act). If the tenants turn out to be troublesome, TALK Property Management will attend eviction court proceedings on your behalf. We send a “Notice to Vacate” if rent isn’t received by the third of the month, then file eviction on the eleventh if it’s still not received. We enforce all provisions of your lease.
Maintenance
TALK Property Management maintains your Austin property, as well. For minor repairs and maintenance, we use local, reliable handypersons and licensed professional vendors for significant issues. If you have one, we work with your Home Warranty company for any extensive repairs or replacements like HVAC systems to make the process easier and less costly for investors! When we have access to your property, we use a licensed locksmith to handle all locks and ensure your property is up to the Texas Property Code. We ensure the team we use on your property provides the best quality and service.
Accounting
Besides the essential property management services, we go above and beyond to make real estate investing easy for our Austin investors. We utilize a professional software and accounting system to help manage your property’s finances. This means we send you a monthly statement on the tenth of each month with copies of any paid repair bills. We can also send a year-end summary statement and 1099 to help make your taxes easier. Lastly, our software makes it possible to send funds directly to your bank the first business day after your tenant paid rent.
At TALK Property Management, we want your real estate investment to be a success, which is why we pride ourselves on our quality services! Reach out to TALK Property Management–we are here to help: (512) 721-1094 or dbrown@talkpropertymanagement.com.
