Property Management Services
If you own an income property, you have a lot to think about. There’s placing the right tenants. Avoiding turnover and vacancy. Staying on top of preventative maintenance so small problems don’t become expensive problems. Following the latest laws that pertain to landlords and tenants.
Stokley Properties is a licensed full service Contra Costa property management company, and we can help.
Advertising and Marketing Your Rental Property
We reach the largest pool of potential renters with professional signage, the Stokley Properties website, professional networking groups and over 30 rental listing sites.
Once we attract the attention of well-qualified tenants, we field phone calls, answer questions, hold open houses, and have the property available to show to potential renters at a convenient time of their choosing. Our advertising and marketing plans are targeted, efficient, and effective.
Screening, Leasing, and Management
Placing the right residents in the right property as quickly as possible is a vitally important process that requires experience and knowledge. Potential tenants must pass a detailed screening process designed to reduce the risk of non-payment or damage to your investment.
Once we have a tenant in place, we maintain a business relationship, which leads to the protection of your property and the retention of your best tenants. We treat tenants fairly with respect and provide clear expectations.
Maintenance and Accounting
A property management company should do more than place tenants and collect rent. We also provide professional accounting, which provides a transparent look at how much you’re earning and spending on your property.
You will receive a monthly statement, as well as a year end statement, that you can provide to your tax consultant that shows all the activity that has taken place with your real estate investment for every month and the end of the year.
We provide an annual review of every home we manage. By getting inside the property, we can make sure residents are following the terms of their lease. We can also make sure your property is in excellent condition, and not in need of any maintenance or repairs. If maintenance is needed, we are available 24/7 to respond to any emergency or routine needs.
Pricing Your Property
The first step in a successful rental experience is pricing your home correctly. If you price it too high, it will likely stay on the market longer, and you’ll lose money and have a hard time attracting a qualified tenant. If you price it too low, you’re losing monthly income. At Stokley Properties, we know the market and we know your home’s value.
Let’s take a look at your home; its age, condition, size, location, and amenities. We’ll use our experience and our tools to provide a rental range you can trust.
We’re the Best in Contra Costa For A Reason
When you’re comparing property management companies, remember that services are just as important as fees. If you pay a really low property management cost, you may be losing more money than you realize. Measure the management fees against the management services, and make sure you understand what you’re paying for and what might be extra. Learn more about the services we offer.
Marketing the Property
We use a comprehensive advertising plan, including online avenues as well as traditional platforms, to reach all potential tenants.
Rent Assessment
We thoroughly research market rates to maximize the rent amount. We also recommend property improvements to increase asking rents.
Finding Tenants
We use in-house and external leasing agents to gather as many applicants as possible.
Tenant Screening
We’ve set high qualification standards and have a detailed application process, which includes employment checks, income verification, background checks, face-to-face interviews, rental history checks.
Full Legal Compliance
Our leasing agents are all licensed real estate agents. And, we conduct all our leasing activities in accordance with State and Federal law as well as the National Association of REALTORS Code of Ethics.
Property Maintenance
We have dedicated maintenance teams and a “sister” maintenance company to ensure prompt repairs.
On-Time Rent Collection
We manage all rent collections for your property. We have strict policies and standards in place to collect rent as effectively as possible.
Eviction Process Handling
We use the eviction process in the unlikely event that a tenant needs to be removed from the property.
Property Accounting & Reporting
We have in-house accounting which oversees all accounting and reporting functions. We use Appfolio Property Management software — the most comprehensive integrated accounting, maintenance, and advertising program.
Monthly & Year End Owner Statements
We save time and paper by using email to send monthly and year end tax reporting statements to owners that you may provide to your CPA or Accountant, Stokley Properties also pays property owners monthly rent proceeds via Direct Deposit (ACH) (upon request we can also provide paper statements).
Owner & Tenant Portals
We give you access to your properties via your Appfolio Owner Portal. Prospective residents can apply online with the click of a button, existing residents pay their rent online instead of sending rent checks by mail, and we are able to process and respond to maintenance requests more quickly through the portal.
