If you own an investment property or business office that you would like for our company to improve for you, please visit our Contractor Services tab.

As a business professional, I don’t agree with people being able to check keys in and out to view homes. I feel that the company you hire should be there to represent you, the homeowner. Not only is this an unsafe liability, it’s not the way we want to start off a new relationship with the tenants. I believe meeting people face to face is the start of any relationship. I can’t represent you if I am not present.

• All showings must be booked, and a professional agent will meet the tenant at the home at the time of the showing. This will be a TRI representative or local REALTOR. This ensures the safety of all parties, and a better showing outcome for the homeowner. We use “showing time,” a booking center where they book appointments to ensure every appointment is met with feedback.
• A lock box will be placed on the door of the home to allow other agents to show their clients.
• All appointments are book thorough showing time, our professional booking center.

At TRI we want to start this relationship off right. Things happen in any tenancy but the best way to prevent a bad tenancy is through early prevention. We have a very thorough application process that we have the tenants submit. Once submitted we look at several things on the application including:

• Criminal background reports, credit checks, and current employment.
• Present and past rental references.
• County records.

1. A thorough walk through inspection is performed by the property manager with pictures and videos days before the tenant moves in.

Contact us and a property manager will be with you soon! We will provide a free market analysis for you as well as talk with you about your home and what you are looking for in a partnership for your investment.

You will only pay us when a tenant is in your home. We do not hold reserves. We take our fees out of the check every month, so that you don’t need to worry about sending us a separate check or any other means of payment. Direct Deposit is also available.

We handle repairs on your behalf. 10% is added to the bill for meeting contractors at the home, scheduling appointments with the tenants, and ensuring the job was performed successfully. We will also upload a copy of the invoice marked paid on your owner portal.

If the tenant does not pay or they break the lease conditions, we will handle the eviction process for you. If the tenant needs to move out prior to the end of his or her lease, we will work with that tenant to fill the vacancy. That tenant will be responsible for the cost to re-rent the home.

If proper payment is not received from tenants after move out, we send outstanding balances to a collection agency and that balance will stay on their credit until it is paid.

We take care of everything for you from here on out. In order for us to fully and efficiently manage your home, any and all communications will be through your Property manager. This is how we protect you as our client, and keep the professional relationship a strong one between the tenant, home owner, and property manager.

Once a tenant gives notice using our Notice To Vacate form, you will be automatically notified by your property manager. We suggest marketing the property 30 days before the tenant moves out. We will handle scheduling appointments around both future tenants and the present tenant.

Once the tenant has vacated the property, I review the Move-In Checklist to make sure the property is in the same condition as when the tenant moved in.

If the property needs repair because of the tenant, we get the tenant to pay for any items which are their responsibility. If Tenant doesn’t do this prior to vacating the home, it is taken out of the security deposit before we return it to them.

TRI Property Pros will involve you in the big decisions, but, as far as the day-to-day issues, we are more than capable of handling that on your behalf. After all, that is the reason you hired a management company. We have an online maintenance system.

If our technicians feel that the item is too old for a repair, we will suggest to you at that time to replace the item.
