Property Management
One of the most important decisions for Real Estate investors to make is whether or not to hire a property manager. What do they do? Is it worth it? Our goal at KPM is to provide services to all of our clients, both owners and residents, that promotes a comfortable and efficient lifestyle. Many landlords do a great job managing their units on their own, but often times a pair of guiding eyes can help identify new doors to peace of mind and increased profits.
Working with a property management company offers many benefits to both owners and residents:
- Your time is valuable.
- Marketing, screening, collecting rent, maintenance, and mediating conflicts take a great amount of time. When spending time on such tasks, owners are trapped in their business instead of investing on more profitable areas such as growth and expansion.
- Maximizing Profits.
- Empty units are leaky buckets. Property managers are skilled in finding qualifies tenants quickly, decreasing income loss due to vacancies. Continuously analyzing the rental market allows property managers to set the price right striking the perfect balance between maximizing income and minimizing vacancy rate.
- Legal Knowledge
- Veteran owners know the extensive damage one troublesome resident can make. An experienced property manager is armed with up-to-date knowledge of federal, state, and municipal laws and is able to decrease vulnerability to legal and financial headaches.
- Increased Resident Retention.
- Systems such as easy rent payment options, quick responses to maintenance requests, and clear communication portals provide residents with happier hassle-free living ensuring longer retention. The process of turning over residents of cleaning, painting, carpet replacement and renovations as needed are timely and costly. Longer resident stays benefit help owners reduce loss of income and allow them to rest assured knowing they are providing happy housing.

What is your leasing process?
All units are posted on our website for the public to view. Potential residents can view each unit’s profile complete with availability, description, and photos. After viewing, they may then make a request for a showing. Once the unit has been shown, the potential resident is then encouraged to submit and application where they will undergo a thorough screening. If approved, the owner is given the option to make the final decision. Once finalized, the potential resident is called and a signing of the lease is scheduled.
