Take-In Evaluation

After acceptance of the property, we perform an initial evaluation of your property and make recommendations to help make sure it meets current state and local property codes and is in the proper condition to lease. Using a comparable market analysis and other resources, we will suggest a rental rate for your property with the goals of obtaining the optimal dollar amount the market will bear based on current market conditions, keeping vacancy periods short and increasing your return on investment.

Periodic Evaluations

Throughout each tenancy, we schedule the property to be visually checked for possible concerns so the condition of the property can be maintained and remain in compliance with state and local property codes. This also gives us an opportunity to determine the tenant’s compliance with the lease and their care of the property.

We heavily market our properties so they get more exposure to potential tenants. Your property would be listed on www.maxmre.com and on over 100 of the top rental sites to include but not limited to, Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Homes.com, HotFrog.com, Craig’s List, ect . As members of the Multiple Listing Services (MLS), we would place your property where thousands of real estate agents search for available rental properties. Additionally, we maintain professional yard signs with minimal but pertinent information to capture the attention of passers-by. We take on all incoming tenant requests and coordinate showings accordingly. More showings produce a better quality tenant.

After showing your home to a number of tenant prospects, we will choose the best candidate for you. We use a complete rental application process. We provide a thorough Tenant screening process! These services include:

• Credit Report (including credit score)
• Nationwide Criminal Background check
• Eviction check
• Landlord References both current and past
• Income and Job verification
• Debt-to-Income Ratio

Current tenants – the tenant’s payment history, lease compliance and property upkeep are some of the factors taken into consideration before a renewal is offered. A comparable market analysis is used to help determine the current renewal rate. Our attentiveness to tenant’s questions and requests as well as maintaining the condition of the property also play a part in giving the tenant incentive to accept a renewal.

Tenant Security Deposits and Pet Deposits are held by Maximum Real Estate Services, in our Brokerage Trust account. This account is a non-interest bearing escrow account and funds are held through the term of the lease. A walk through is done at the time of move in and move out. Deposits are refundable within 30 days of move out if the home is left in move in-ready condition and without damage.
