Perks of Property Management

We Become The Point of Contact

Once we commence the management of a property, we immediately send out written notices to tenants informing them that Centurion Real Estate Management, LLC will be the new managing agent. We provide pertinent information to the tenants about our company and process, where to send rent payment and how to submit work orders. The Long Term Benefit of Professional Property Management

A professional property management company should make you money – not cost you money. We perform this difficult task in many ways. With our knowledge of the current rental market and trends, we can keep rents up and vacancies down. With periodic and thorough property inspections, we can spot problematic issues before they begin, minimizing long term loss in property value and costly major repairs. We are able to reduce costs and increase efficiency through our streamlined processes.

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.

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.
