$149 a month is all we charge. We don't believe in percentage-based management, as we strive to deliver the same high-quality service to all properties, regardless of value
We follow a strict procedure which includes legal notice of contract breach, personal contact with the tenant in an effort to work things out and ultimately a court hearing, judgment and eviction if necessary. In such rare cases, we utilize a third party specialist - Texas Eviction LLC, who handle filing the proper paperwork and all court communication.
A full service eviction can cost about $500.00. If your tenant requires a constable escorted eviction this can cost more because owners are responsible for the cost of moving a tenant personal belongings out of the residence and to the curb. We only see about 1-2 constable escorted evictions each year.
Our standard management agreement includes emergency service consent as well as authorization of non-emergency repairs up to $500. For non-emergency repairs estimated to exceed this threshold, no work is initiated without your approval. However, we need to be aware of Landlord Tenant Laws which provide us with specific timelines on repairs being done, so time is of the essence when dealing with repairs at your property. In addition, we charge no additional overhead for maintenance orders of any size and all are included as part of the monthly management fee.
We utilize a large network of licensed local contractors, most of which have been doing work for us for many years. We are experts in finding you the best price for the job, and require all our third-party vendors to have the highest level of professionalism and quality.
We are in the process of narrowing down our geographic region in an effort to provide excellent service to our customers. The best way to find out if we can assist you with management is sending us an inquiry on our contact form on the main page and provide the address of property.
NARPM® property managers have heightened expertise and industry knowledge to assist them in doing the best possible job. They are real estate professionals who know first-hand the unique challenges of managing rental property in today’s constantly changing economic and legislative environment. And they know how to manage those challenges to everyone’s benefit. They can maximize rents and income for you; and they will manage the property efficiently, professionally and economically.
Trust that as a professional property manager and fiduciary, we will always work in your best interest. It is also important to understand that rentals are an investment, and sometimes investments require money in order to increase in value.
We want to be a good fit for our clients, and our clients to be a good fit for us. We understand that with different methods of communication and personalities sometimes we are not a match. As long as all expenses are settled, there is no “termination” charge or waiting period.
In general, we specialize in residential homes, multi-family and condominiums throughout Harris County. We also manage some commercial complexes on a more selective basis. For tenant selection, we do our best to fill your unit as quickly as possible while maintaining a high-quality screening procedure. We do a thorough credit check, national background and social media check, employment and residence verification for every adult who will be living in the house. If you already have a tenant living on the property, we charge a one-time setup fee of $250.
