Upon acceptance of the tenant we require that they give us a non-refundable deposit to take the property off the market. This is usually equal to one month's rent and will be credited at move-in as the security deposit. Security deposits are held in a recognized Florida Escrow Account. Our leases are annual leases and have been reviewed by an attorney who specializes in landlord/tenant law. Leases are continuously updated to stay current with the changes in local and state laws. Tenant responsibilities are clearly defined, giving us the ability to enforce lease requirements.
Our collection and distribution of rents is a vital part of our service to you. We pride ourselves on getting rent checks out to our owners by the 15th of each month.
All maintenance emergencies are handled quickly and in a cost efficient manner. Free Realty uses only licensed and insured independent contractors for the owner's protection. Due to the high volume of properties we handle, we can secure excellent rates from these vendors, which are passed directly to our owners. We do inspections of the properties on a regular basis to ensure tenants are complying with the Rental Agreement.
We are a full service management company. Due to our success over the years, we have been able to keep our fees low. We handle the lease preparation, execution and renewals.
We have a strong marketing program to attract prospective tenants. We implement all current available resources to secure qualified tenants for our owners as quickly as possible. Below are some of the following resources we utilize:
Realtor.Com
Yard Signs
Internet Advertising
Multiple Listing Service
Advertising in local neighborhood publications
