• Initial Property Inspection:

  Once the management package is completed and returned to us, we will schedule to go out to the property and perform the initial inspection. During this time, we will evaluate the condition, appearance and overall readiness for showing to prospective tenants. If necessary, we will make a list of items that need attention as well as an estimate of the cost. It is our goal to have a property ready for move-in upon showing to applicants. This benefits you and the new tenant in the long run. The yard sign will be placed, pictures taken and advertising will begin. Once the property is inspected, we will set up utilities and lawn care for the time it is vacant unless they are already being handled. It is important to keep up the appearance, power and water for potential tenants viewing the property. You will be responsible for these expenses during the vacant period. Gas is not necessary. We will winterize the unit in the winter months by draining the water lines if possible. If attention is needed at the property, funds will have to be provided in advance to cover the costs.

• Tenant Screening:

  It is our sincere goal to find the best qualified tenant for any property:

  • During our screening we verify current rental history and verify the tenant has a no recent judgment, collection or eviction from a previous landlord.
  • The tenant makes an application on-line at our third party property management credit and legal background check. We screen all credit and criminal background history for our clients.
  • We verify current employment of at least 12 months, and we require a gross income of at least 3 times the rent. We have found that these 3 items provide a sound starting point for qualifying a tenant.

• Lease Agreement:

  LSI Property Management Inlet Beach uses the Florida Association of Realtors (FAR) lease Agreements. All existing tenants will remain on their current lease until it expires and then renewed on the FAR lease. See lease agreement.

• Deposits:

  All tenants are required to pay a security deposit and separate pet deposit if applicable. There are no exceptions to this requirement! All deposits are held in a separate trust account and not released to the owner or tenant until the final walk through inspection is complete.

• Rent Collection:

  Rent is due on the 1st of each month. If prior arrangements have not been made with management, all non-paid rents will be addressed on the 2nd. We use phone calls, emails, property visits and letters to contact the tenants. If contact cannot be made, then the Eviction process will begin around the 5th. Owner statements are e-mailed on the 15th with rent proceeds received or explanations. We make every effort to collect rent and reduce turnover by working with tenants when necessary. We have an obligation to collect rent on time and prevent vacancies.

• Legal Action:

  It is our goal to attempt to avoid the process of eviction if possible. If the need arises, we will file warrants, appear in court and handle the eviction process from start to finish. Since these are additional expenses to the owner, we make every effort to avoid an eviction. We give every opportunity within reason for the tenant to clear up any unpaid balances.

• Maintenance Process:

  LSI Property Management Inlet Beach provides full-service reliable maintenance when the need arises. Every effort to reduce cost and provide reliable service is made. There is a 24 hour maintenance line on the phone system for emergencies. All maintenance is coordinated through LSI Property Management Division and not an outside party. We manage the process and the prices by getting bids and only using vendors who are licensed and insured. We are experienced in working with contracts and work diligently to get the best price and quality for the work done,. Established relationships with vendors have enabled us to have great success in maintaining a property at reasonable prices. Maintenance is an integral part of the relationship among tenants, owners and management.

• Sale of Property:

  As with any property, there may come a time for you to consider selling. As a full service real estate brokerage, we can list, market, and sell your property as well. The relationship we have with our tenants may make the transition smoother for all parties involved.

• Marketing & Advertising:

  We are a member of the First Multiple Listing Service which covers the complete Inlet Beach area. We list your property in the MLS to make it available to all of the Florida licensed real estate broker members. Your property will also be listed at the top real estate websites through our affiliation with ListHub.net; including YahooRealEstate.com, AOLRealEstate.com, Homes.com, HGTV.FrontDoor.com, Hotpads.com, Homefinder.com, and Realtor.com just to name a few.
