Resident Screening
We strive to get your investment rented quickly, but feel it is important to get the BEST qualified resident versus the FAST resident! Spending time up front and finding the BEST resident for your rental creates a good experience all around, versus one that is stressful and frustrating.
We require a full, detailed application and run comprehensive credit and background checks prior to coming to you for acceptance of a resident. Once we’ve moved someone in, we handle both routine and emergency maintenance needs, inspections, and any conflicts that may arise around rent payments or anything else.We gather extensive information on the following:
- Credit Check
- Employment verification
- Debt to income ratios
- Eviction history check
- Criminal history check
- Previous landlord calls
Our screening process is not just based on a credit score only - we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant. This process has proven to be extremely successful.

AS YOUR LAKE VILLA PROPERTY MANAGER, WE TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO BE AN HANDS OFF INVESTOR.

Rent Collection
Sometimes securing payment from residents can be difficult. We know how important your monthly rent payment is and will handle the awkward situations that may arise when a resident doesn’t pay on time.
Maintenance
We conduct inspections upon move-in and move-out that include documentation of the property’s condition and ensure all maintenance issues are addressed in a timely manner.
Financial Reporting
With our detailed financial reporting tools, it's never been easier to keep tabs on your investment. Log into your owner portal to view statements and stay in tune with how your investment is performing.
Eviction Protection
In the unfortunate event that a resident needs to be evicted from your rental, will shield you from the stress and re-rent the property promptly.
Setting the Rental Rate
By studying the market, running reports, and doing our research we can help ensure you get the perfect balance between maximizing your monthly income and maintaining a low vacancy rate.
Managing Vendor Relationships
Without a proper vendor base, you can be taken advantage of. Not only do we have a maintenance company of our own, but we have established relationships with other local vendors over time. With our preferred vendors, you can be certain you’ll get the best work for the best price, fully insured.
Maximizing Your Time & Money
When you entrust your rental property to us, you can rest easy knowing that it’s in good hands. We charge a small percentage of the rent price for our services, and the payoff of your own peace of mind is well worth it.
OUR AWESOME PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES
In our initial meeting, the property will be evaluated to determine a rental price. Any necessary paperwork will be completed, and we’ll discuss the services covered by Grand Realty Group. We will also review any repairs or maintenance needed to get the property ready for a resident.
When the property is listed, it will be listed on the internet's most popular rental websites. We will thoroughly screen any applications, and help you decide who to accept. Prior to resident move-in, we will perform an extensive inspection with photos and professional repairs to document the condition of the property. Our full-service team will work hard to ensure a timely occupancy!
Once you have accepted a resident, we will get both you and the new residents set up in our online portal. This will give you access to view maintenance records, track rent collection, and more. We will handle all maintenance and repairs, collect the monthly rent and disperse to you through direct deposit (minus Property Management fees and any deductions from repairs), as well as coordinate lease-end procedures. We can also manage eviction processes for you, in the unfortunate event that it becomes necessary.
At 75 days to your resident’s lease-end, we’ll inquire whether they wish to renew or not. Then we will discuss with you to be sure you’d like to renew our services. If you wish to stop renting, and sell your property for any reason, we have vast experience in marketing and sales too!
