What is Property Management?

What is Property Management?

At Innovative Granite Group/Lake Area Properties, our property management team offers comprehensive services designed to minimize your maintenance tasks while ensuring your property is professionally managed to maintain its value and provide you with peace of mind.

When you’re ready to hand over the responsibility of managing your property, our skilled team is here to provide you with the expertise and support necessary to keep things running smoothly.

Our Property Management Services Include:

• Consultation & Market Analysis:
  We collaborate with you, the property owner, to determine the optimal rental price and offer recommendations for any necessary improvements to maximize your property's appeal and value.

• Maximum Exposure:
  Your property will be advertised on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and syndicated to over 900 property websites, giving it the broadest exposure possible. We also distribute your listing to our lead database and all agents within the MLS system.

• Property Viewings & Showings:
  We arrange and manage property viewings, ensuring that interested tenants can see the property at a convenient time.

• Tenant Screening & Application Process:
  Applications are processed according to our strict rental criteria. We conduct thorough credit checks and reference calls for every potential tenant to ensure you get the most reliable renters.

• Lease Signing & Move-In Coordination:
  Once the right tenant is selected, we facilitate the lease signing, collect the security deposit and rent, and manage the handover of the property.

• Rent Collection & Bill Payments:
  We handle rent collection and ensure that any property-related bills are paid. Monthly proceeds are forwarded to you, keeping you informed and up-to-date.

• Emergency Maintenance Services:
  Emergency maintenance services are available around the clock to address any urgent issues that may arise.

• Comprehensive Financial Reporting:
  We send you a detailed monthly statement of income and expenses. Additionally, you’ll receive an annual report, along with your 1099 at year-end, for easy tax filing.

If Full Property Management Isn’t Right for You:

If you prefer to manage your property independently but need assistance with tenant screening, we can handle the screening and processing of applicants for you. We'll find a qualified tenant and fill your unit, leaving you to manage the rents and tenants on your own.

At Innovative Granite Group/Lake Area Properties, we tailor our services to meet your needs, offering full property management or a-la-carte tenant placement solutions to ensure your investment is well taken care of.
