Property Management Services in Boston & Brookline
Tenant Placement
We have an extensive real estate leasing background and have participated in over a thousand leasing transactions. We utilize multiple paid for advertising services to post your property for rent, we work with hundreds of other brokers in the area who are representing different tenants looking for housing, we facilitate the photography and in some cases virtual tours of properties, and we coordinate with current and prospective tenants in regards to showings. The very most important aspect of tenant placement is doing credit checks, criminal background checks, eviction history checks, and reference checks; we take care of all of this and also draft the leases for the rental.
Maximizing Your Property Value with Professional Property Management Services
All properties vary greatly but one thing that always helps increase value is maximizing rent production, doing proper tenant retention, proper tenant placement, and performing maintenance services on the properties to reduce the risk of damage, legal issues, and just the overall enjoyment of the property by the tenants and owners. In some cases we will have to do renovations in properties because of a disaster that might have occurred, the property being dated, or we are targeting a rent increase by increasing the quality of the home. There are many ways to increase value in your property.
Buying or Selling Real Estate
My team and I have participated in over $130 million in transactions both on the buy and sell side. Whether you are looking to grow your real estate portfolio, sell your property, or do a 1031 tax exchange, we are here to consult with you on your next real estate transaction. Aspinwall Hill Management is a separate company. Our owner is also a licensed real estate agent who brokers sales through Compass.
Maintenance
The primary reason we are hired to manage properties is to coordinate maintenance requests. There is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Aside from working with a trusted team of vendors we have worked with for years, we also do our best to shop the best quote for maintenance work, and we work with the vendor, neighbors when needed, and tenants to execute on the work order. We also coordinate scheduled maintenance like cleaning, snow removal, landscaping, and many more services.
More Services
At times property management goes deeper than just collecting rent and doing maintenance. There are times where we need to actively work with condo associations, local government, and neighbors to make sure whatever issues are coming up are resolved or taken care of. In many cases there is tenant conflict too, whether it is between tenants or a party that is causing problems for others; we step in to mediate and manage the issues at hand.
