It is not something that everyone intends to do. It’s possible that your Columbia home isn’t selling as quickly as you and your real estate agent anticipated, that you need to relocate for a job opportunity, or that you just inherited a new property. Perhaps you are new to the market, have just purchased your first rental property, and need to rent it out. Encompass Property Group has dealt with a variety of situations.

Do I have to oversee my own property?

The majority of property owners underestimate the responsibility of property management. Consider the following Encompass Property Group features designed specifically for owners like you if you are thinking about handling it yourself.

Advertising and comprehensive marketing: Every day your property sits empty costs you money. Shorter vacancy times easily offset costs associated with property management. Encompass Property Group has the skilled staff and ability to open a door for a potential renter at any time of day and can market your property around the clock.

Extensive credit, income, and criminal background checks: Choosing the wrong tenant can quickly become costly. Encompass Property Group has a set of guidelines for screening prospective tenants that include conducting criminal and credit background checks on all residents over the age of 18. We want tenants who will keep your property clean and pay their rent on time.

Coordination of maintenance: You will have access to our in-house maintenance staff seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day. In property management, maintenance is a must, and neglecting maintenance issues can result in costly repairs and dissatisfied tenants—both of which will cost you money.

Online Reporting: Using our web-based property management software, we can keep you informed of all property activity, including vacancies, lease expirations, issues with maintenance, and financial reports.

Routine Inspections: Encompass Property Group will inspect both the interior and exterior of your home twice a year to make sure that it is being well taken care of and that there are no problems that haven’t been reported.

Rent Collection: Encompass Property Group has a specific department for billing and collections. We have full-time employees who are committed to prompt rent payment.

Services for complete eviction and possession: Even if you didn’t intend for it, sometimes a tenant must be evicted. Tenants are made aware of the possibility of eviction from the start when Encompass Property Group rent collection system is in place. During the eviction process, we quickly collaborate with local legal counsel if rent is not received on time.

Congratulations! While your real estate portfolio is expanding, your stress level and time commitments are probably expanding concurrently. Bringing all of your properties under one roof and having them professionally managed would be nice.

We can manage your properties effectively while saving you money and giving you more freedom thanks to Encompass Property Group’s methodical and efficient management style. The savings you receive from effective property management cover the cost of management.

Online Reporting: Our web-based, transparent property management software keeps you informed about all aspects of your property. Monthly reports on vacancies, lease expirations, maintenance costs, and complete financial information will be sent to you.

Time is money in comprehensive marketing and advertising! Utilize the power of Columbia’s largest property management company to fill vacancies more quickly.

Comprehensive Credit, Income, and Criminal Background Checks: A bad tenant will not only cost you money in lost rent but will likely also treat your property badly. Our extensive guidelines for tenant screening were created to reduce the possibility of renting your property to the wrong person.

Routine Inspections: In the spring and fall, we check all of the properties we manage, both inside and out, to see how they are doing and to make sure the tenants are taking care of them. Additionally, we spot maintenance issues that, if not addressed promptly, could result in costly repairs.

Rent Collections: We diligently collect your rent in a methodical and timely manner using professional but tough collection procedures.

Coordination of Maintenance: In property management, maintenance is a necessity, and our in-house, 24/7 professional maintenance staff helps us keep costs low.

Complete Eviction and Possession Services: When our billing and collection department is unable to get the tenant to pay their rent and cooperate, we quickly take legal action and collaborate with local counsel to get the bad tenant out while keeping costs low.

Encompass Property Group knows why you should own apartment buildings or duplexes: positive cash flow! You bought these properties to rent out and make money.
