What to Expect from Professional Property Management with People’s

N

Less Vacancy. Better Tenants.

One of the most expensive things that owners worry about is vacancy. A vacant property isn’t bringing in any rental income, and it also comes with out-of-pocket costs like preventative maintenance, cleaning, and landscaping. You don’t want your property left empty. It should come as no surprise that competitively priced, well-maintained homes are often the properties that rent the quickest. Our team has some great strategies to ensure you don’t face a long and expensive vacancy.

Our strategy for avoiding those big vacancy costs is to market your property aggressively, with online advertising and a lot of outreach to our local real estate network. We show your property at the convenience of prospective tenants, and we keep in touch with applicants throughout the process.   

Your successful investment experience requires having your property rented almost as soon as it’s listed, to well-qualified tenants. Our screening process is efficient and effective. We’re able to run the necessary background checks and identify those tenants who have an admirable rental history and the income and references necessary to gain a quick approval.  

We lease homes throughout Tacoma and the surrounding areas.

Responsive Maintenance Protects Your Asset

You need good maintenance practices. You need a team of reliable vendors who have been screened and are committed to providing great service for affordable prices. Luckily, we can provide that for you. We facilitate all routine and emergency repairs at People’s. Our vendors are licensed, insured, qualified, and dedicated to helping our owners and residents keep their properties in great condition. We are prepared to respond to emergencies any time they occur, whether it’s overnight or on a holiday. We’ll protect your property and preserve its condition and value.

Property inspections are thorough and well-documented. We evaluate the condition of your property before a tenant moves in and after that tenant moves out, and we even drive by your home every month to ensure everything looks to be in order. We also maintain open and transparent communication with tenants, making ourselves available to answer questions, resolve disputes, and respond to any concerns they may have. 

Protections for you and your property go beyond maintenance and inspections. We also keep the homes we manage in compliance with all the local, state, and federal rental laws, reducing your risk and liability when it comes to legal issues. We know the fair housing laws inside and out, and we keep up with all the changing laws and regulations pertaining to rental property. Mistakes can be expensive – and we work hard to prevent them.

We work in Tacoma all the surrounding areas, whether you’re renting out a single-family home or units in a small apartment building.

Efficient HOA Management

The number of HOA communities have increased in Tacoma, and we can provide expert management for them. If you’re volunteering with your HOA board and things seem a little disorganized, we can help. We love working with associations to increase their performance and their productivity. Your community is important to us.

If you’re not sure whether all the dues have been collected, and you know there are violations that have gone unaddressed, you run the risk of losing your grip on the association you care about.  

As professional property managers in Tacoma and the surrounding communities, we care about your neighborhood and your residents. We can help. Our automated systems and proven procedures can make your management more efficient. We’ll work with you on:

  • HOA budgets and accounting
  • Board agendas and meetings
  • Association communication
  • HOA rules and regulation enforcement

Free Rental Analysis

Knowing the rental value of your Tacoma investment property is crucial to earning as much as you can on your investment. The market is fluid and changing all the time. But don’t worry – we keep up. Talk to us about your rental property or your entire portfolio. We’ll take a look at your home and evaluate its location, size, condition, and amenities. We know the local tenants and what they’re willing to pay. We’ll find the right price.

Remember that overpricing your home can be just as catastrophic financially as underpricing it. You don’t want a long vacancy period, and you don’t want to attract tenants who have been rejected elsewhere. Count on our data and experience – we’ll find just the right rent.

We had never worked with a property management firm before leasing a home through Peoples Real Estate for the past year. I dealt with Joe Brannon on numerous occasions and he was always very professional and friendly. Any requests or concerns were promptly responded to and/or taken care of. We were always given plenty of notice for any appointments or inspections. It was a win/win situation!
-Peggy P.

I have been renting through People's for 2 1/2 years . The staff have been very accompanying for all our needs. They call me or reply within 24 hrs of any service request I put in. The rental portal is an outstanding service..... easy to use and convenient. I would highly recommend People's Realty to anyone. The owners and staff in the Kent office is Primo.
