Rental Budget:

Tenant Screening:
We will thoroughly screen all replies to your property. We screen tenants by pulling a credit report, verifying their employment as well as their income, and we also interview their last two landlords to verify that this prospective tenant was a good tenant and left their last rental property in good standing. Yes, we screen our prospective tenants very hard, but it is as important to Carter Realty as it is to you that we place good people into your investment property. The early personal contact that a tenant receives from Carter Realty establishes a good dependable relationship.
Maintenance:
We will answer the renter’s maintenance complaints and arrange for repair work. Our tenants have access to a 24-hour emergency number if a problem should arise in the middle of the night. This adds security to the tenant as well as you the investor that we are watching after your property 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That is comforting all by itself.
Inspections:
When a tenant checks into a property we conduct a walk through inspection on that property. This way we have on record the condition that the property was in when a tenant moves in. When that tenant leaves we use the same report to check them out. This way there is no confusion on the condition of the property after a tenant leaves. Our Leasing agents also conduct monthly “drive by” inspections on your property to make sure that the tenant is taking the best care of your rental investment.
Monthly Statements:
Each month you will receive a detailed statement on your property. These statements are easy to read and understand. The statement will break down the month’s activity on your investment property. It will show rent collected, management fees deducted, itemized maintenance, and finally your net dollar amount. This way your paperwork is organized for your accountant.

Be sure to view the services we offer our tenants. By offering more tenant services we will attract a higher quality tenant for your property.
