Owner FAQs

Advantage Gold Realty handles all requests for maintenance and repairs. We coordinate all maintenance and repairs utilizing our in house Maintenance Company as well as outside Vendors. We will contact the owner prior to any repairs being performed over $200.00 unless it is classified as an emergency.

Vital part of managing your property is to know your property. We perform a detailed review with digital photos before allowing a tenant to occupy your property. The start-up review documents the condition of the property so when the tenant vacates, there is a sound basis for the security deposit.

Thorough screening is crucial to successful Property Management. We require all applicants to fill out a detailed application and submit it for processing/approval. A credit check is NOT enough! Our company conducts a careful review of their credit and income, and some cases past tenancy history. Cross referencing all these areas provides answers to qualify or disqualify prospective applicants.

This is the most commonly asked question we receive. Unfortunately, there is no way to predict how long a property will remain on the market, even in the best market conditions. However, we will work very diligently to rent the property as quickly as possible. What is important to remember is that the most important objective is to have “a quality tenant.”

We always want to tell you what your house can realistically rent for rather than a number that is unattainable just because it sounds appealing. To figure a rental rate we do an analysis of current market trends. We look at comparable rentals and take into consideration the condition, amenities and general appeal.
