So, you own a condo, house, townhome or another wonderful structure in Northern Virginia and you're ready to find a tenant.
Excellent and congrats on maximizing your investment.
Just know this: A lot of time and energy can go into listing and managing a property. For example, are you 100 percent sure you're in the clear, from a legal perspective, with the agreement you'll have folks sign? Also, if or when a pipe bursts at your property in the middle of the night (we've all been there!), how will it be handled? And, before your prospective tenant walks through the door, how are you planning to maximize the marketing of your spot to get the most bang for your buck?
It's a lot to think about. But, amid your thoughts, here are three big-time services a property management company can provide that you'll totally want/need down the line:
1) Professional photos. In today's Insta-loving, visual-dominant society, you absolutely can not get away with sub-par photos. High-quality photos are an absolute must and, regardless of how awesome of photos an iPhone or something comparable may take these days, you'll need a professional photographer for the job.
2) 24/7 support. It's inevitable and emergencies happen. One of the benefits of having a stellar property management team on your side is that they can handle the sticky situations whenever they may happen. Emergencies don't discriminate in terms of day or time and you'll need 24/7 support to mitigate the super-stressful situations.
3) A seamless payments system. No, no one wants to get in his/her car, drive 3 miles, take a left down a dirt road and drop a check in a mailbox. This is the 21st century and whether it's statements or payments, it should all be accessible in a few clicks from the comfort on your home.
