Waukee, West Des Moines, Grimes, Ankeny, Adel, Urbandale

WHAT WE PROVIDE

• Investigative-quality application processing
• Comprehensive inspections of your property, inside and out
• Round-the-clock maintenance management
• All communication with the tenants

• No charge for our services until the property is first rented
• No charge for any of our inspections, photographs, reports
• No mark-up on invoices, nor do we accept rebates or kick-backs

FILLING VACANCIES

Timely placement of qualified tenants is critical to one's bottom line. When a 30-day notice is received, we spring into action.

You get:

• Immediate notification
• Professional recommendation regarding rent amount
• A professional FOR RENT sign promptly placed at the property
• Your property extensively described and pictured on our website
• Email notification sent to our waiting list of prospective tenants looking for a property like yours
• Comprehensive use of the internet for maximum exposure

Every effort is made to minimize the amount of time a property remains vacant. We even return calls and show vacancies on weekends, on holidays and in the evening.

MAINTENANCE

What GP does to keep maintenance costs under control:

• We do not have an in-house maintenance company, opting instead to utilize independent contractors
• Estimates are obtained and presented for owner approval on all repairs in excess of $200
• All repair workers are instructed to document directly on their bills if any repair is caused by tenant negligence or abuse, so that tenants may be held responsible for needless damage
• All tenants are provided with our cell phone number so that in the event of an emergency, they may reach a live person, 24-hours a day, seven days a week
• Numerous maintenance issues are detailed in the lease in the hopes of avoiding a repair in the first place
• Many common problems are easily handled over the telephone without ever having to involve a repair person

INSPECTIONS

Drive-by inspections with a written report are performed regularly. We also produce a complete digital photographic record of the property at each interior/exterior inspection at no extra charge.

General interior/exterior inspections are conducted

• When we take over management
• When we move tenants in and out
• When repairs are done
• At least annually thereafter

All such inspections are standard to our service and no additional cost to you.

Among other things, we check:

• Furnace filters
• Smoke alarms
• Grout/caulk
• Glass and screens
• Kitchen and bathroom plumbing

These checks are standard to our service with no additional cost to you.

If a problem is found to exist, we can quickly implement corrective action. Through this policy, we feel that unnecessary repair expenses can often be diminished or eliminated.
