Property management provides the guiding hand and overall supervision of the day to day operations of a property. Professional management is a key to real estate profits over the long term. Total Systems manages office, industrial, commercial, and residential properties.
Our Capabilities
Units are shown to prospective tenants at their convenience, including evening and weekend hours when necessary. Those interested in leasing a unit are asked to fill out a detailed rental application and provide identification such as a driver's licenses, social security card and a current tax return. Then, we verify information given on the application by calling the employer, present and previous landlords, and calling UDR (a company which also screens tenants for credit and eviction history).
Tenants are required to pay rent by the first of the month, and are charged a late fee if the rent arrives past the fifth. This encourages prompt payment. We continuously monitor rent collection and contact any late payers immediately. Late paying tenants are given three-day notices to perform or quit. We feel that conscientious rent collection is extremely important.
We believe that a well-kept building will attract good tenants, and prevent unnecessary tenant turnover. We frequently inspect the premises of the property to avoid small problems from becoming big ones. Our maintenance personnel can handle common repairs, and can make vacated units rent-ready including necessary painting, patching, and carpet cleaning.
Keeping an accurate "paper trail" is essential. All income and expenses for a property are handled through Total Systems trust bank account, and are recorded promptly. Copies of receipts are kept, and originals are given to the owner of the property.
