Marketing Your Rental Property
HD photos and flexible showings reduce vacancy
Dedicated Leasing Specialist
During the leasing process you will work with an assigned leasing professional whose only goal is to get your property marketed and get it rented quickly. During this time, you can expect us to be checking on your property and showing it to prospective tenants, as well as updating the listing on various websites, answering potential tenant questions and communicating with you. Our team will ensure that your property is presented in its best light online and in person to get you a great tenant.
Professional Rental Market Analysis
Pricing the home correctly is one of the most important factors in getting it rented quickly. Overpricing the home will cause the property to rent less quickly, costing you time and money. We start with a competitive rental price analysis which combines market data with our professional knowledge of current market conditions to give you the most accurate rental price possible. This will get the home rented fast and for the most that the market will bear.
Professional Photos
If your property doesn’t look good online then prospective tenants will not want to come view it in person. We take professional, high resolution photos of our homes - In our experience properties that have professional photos get rented much faster.
Online Advertising Exposure
We market your property through our property management software called Appfolio. It then syndicates the listing out to several websites, including all the popular rental sites like Zillow and Trulia.

Maintenance+
Centurion Real Estate Management, LLC has a subsidiary maintenance company comprised of an experienced and qualified team of maintenance technicians who are able to respond quickly and professionally to all property maintenance and repair needs. We also have a comprehensive list of outside vendors that we contract with for specific property jobs. We strive to control costs on the property whenever possible. Each property’s expenditures are governed by the management agreement and items that exceed the pre-set limit must be authorized by the owner before work begins.
On-site Management and Roving Managers+
As is often the case, property management companies rely on resident managers to oversee day-to-day activities of the property. Centurion Real Estate Management, LLC takes this a step further by comprehensive hands-on training with each manager. We utilize an Employee Handbook, created from the ground up with input from numerous individuals with decades of experience in property management. We conduct periodic employee in-service trainings to hone skills and continually improve our processes. For smaller properties, we have roving managers who are directly responsible for property oversight and act as a contact person for the tenants.
Vacancies+
Our entire team works incredibly hard to prepare units to re-rent in record time. After a tenant vacates a unit, our goal is to have the unit rent ready within 5 days. Occasionally, it may take longer, and many times, it can be done in much less time. Upon the old tenant moving out; a thorough inspection of the unit is done. We utilize a custom “Turn Packet” that incorporates a checklist and logs work that needs to be accomplished which produces a record sheet for completed work for property owners. Turning of the unit (i.e. preparing the vacant unit to be ready to re-rent) includes: changing the locks or re-keying, any maintenance repairs needed, scheduling the carpets to be cleaned and general cleaning.
Advertising+
We begin advertising the vacant unit as soon as we have a tentative availability date. We then begin screening applicants and do everything possible to pre-rent the unit so that the time the unit is vacant is minimized.
We use numerous mediums of advertising such as yard signs, local free advertising sources, web advertising, newspaper and many more. Over the years we have compiled over a 1000 tips, tactics and strategies to advertise, market and rent units.
Collecting Rents+
We collect rents and deposit all monies into a designated Client’s Trust Account. Rent collection can be very time consuming and stressful for both managers and tenants. Centurion Real Estate Management, LLC streamlines this process by using a Rent Collection flow chart outlining details and helpful tips on collecting rent in a timely manner. We train our managers to be consistent in their communication with tenants and to issue reminders and notices promptly. We also offer many options to our tenants for paying rent such as online, ACH, auto-debit and more.
Monthly Reporting+
All income from the property is deposited into a Clients’ Trust Account that is federally insured. These funds are used to pay monthly bills associated with the property such as utilities, vendors, maintenance expenses, monthly property management commission, property mortgage, taxes and insurance. At the end of every month, each account is reconciled and reports are sent out to owners.
Property Inspections+
Frequent inspections are an important part of our property management services. Centurion does periodic drive-by inspections of the property. If there is a maintenance issues at your property, our staff are trained to keep an eye on problematic situations or issues of concern at the property. We also perform scheduled interior and exterior property evaluations to spot problems early and report our findings back to the property owners.
