- Why should I use a professional to manage my property?
While the reasons our clients choose professional management vary, here are some of the key reasons many people elect professional management over self-management:
- We handle maintenance and emergency repairs, allowing you to sleep at night.
- We enforce collection of rents and serve the proper notices upon failure to pay.
- We understand and apply the correct federal, state, and local laws, keeping you and your investment out of trouble.
- We know and understand the local market, have an extensive network of contacts, and have advertising resources available to us at discounted rates. This allows us to effectively market your vacant home to prospective residents to get it filled as quickly as the market allows to a qualified applicant.
- After you add up the increased rent we can often command, the discounts you'll receive on advertising, and the company rate we get on repairs, you'll often make more money than if you managed the property yourself!
- Do you provide me with a report of activity on my property?
Yes, we will provide you a monthly report of rent and other income received, as well as maintenance, repairs, and other expenses incurred. This will be provided once per month. If you have questions regarding your statement, please do not hesitate to contact us.
- What size properties will Joseph Dodge manage?
We will manage single family homes to large apartment complexes. We are large enough to handle your property, yet small enough to still give personal service.
- How much does property management service cost?
Joseph Dodge has a standard fee schedule based on units and building rent rolls. Unlike most property management companies, we do not charge a commission fee for filling vacant units to cover continuous showings and the application and lease process. Please see our Resident Guarantee.
