F.C.Tucker Emge REALTORS® prides itself with being a full service real estate company. What does this mean? Well, for example, did you know that we have a property management division that can help landlords and investors organize and manage the many details of a property to maximize their bottom line?
Home ownership isn’t for everyone and renting is an important part of the housing industry. Life is complicated, and in many situations, renting a home makes more sense for people than home ownership. But there is a problem in our market: there aren’t enough rental homes available to rent that meet people’s expectations for condition, location, and affordability.
Have you ever wondered about whether or not it would be a good idea to use a property management company to manage an investment property? Have you shied away from purchasing an investment property because you aren’t sure you have the time to market the space, vet possible renters, take care of the property, collect rents, etc?
F.C. Tucker Emge Property Management can make all the difference. Let’s Talk about how we can help you.
- Advising you on rental fees: We know the local market better than any one and we will help you find that sweet spot for leveraging rents that will attract tenants but won’t leave money on the table. F.C. Tucker Emge knows our market.
- Marketing: From taking quality photographs to posting your property on our rental website, rentfromtucker.com, we will effectively and efficiently broadcast the information about your rental property. Rentfromtucker.com is part of FCTE.com, a powerful website that sees thousands of visitors everyday. F.C. Tucker Emge knows marketing.
- Navigating the application process: When a rental prospect decides they want to live in your property, we have them fill out an application. Then, we extensively vet all applicants by running background checks, credit checks, verify proof of renters insurance, collect security deposits, and verify that all utilities have been switched over to the tenants name(s) before we turn over the keys. YOU have the final say in who the tenant will be, but we do all of the due diligence. F.C. Tucker Emge knows the application process.
- Collecting Rent: No one likes to ask for money. That is why we do it for you. F.C. Tucker Emge knows how to get you what you deserve.
- Coordinating repairs: It is inevitable that things will break and need repair from time to time. You have a full life already, so when little (or big) things go wrong, we will coordinate repairs to your property, keeping you in the loop along the way. F.C. Tucker Emge knows home maintenance.
- Initiate and complete all evictions when/if needed. F.C. Tucker Emge knows when enough is enough.
Levels of Service
We know that one size does not fit all. That is why we offer different levels of service to our clients so your needs are met.
Full: Most investors opt to go with full service property management. This means that we manage all aspects of your investment, including: marketing, qualifying applicants, lease administration, all ongoing maintenance, collections of rent and other payments, and navigating the eviction process when needed.
Limited: If you opt for limited management, then we will use all of our available tools and experience to market your property and successfully qualify any applicants. After that, you will be on call for all repairs, rent collection, evictions, etc.
What kinds of houses are suitable for renting out? What sorts of houses are renters looking for?
- In general, homes with 3+ bedrooms and 2.5 baths are always good options for renting out. However, we can find renters for any home, so don’t hesitate to call us to see how we can help you find a tenant.
- The better condition, the more marketable the homes are. Homes that are on the newer side, or homes that have been recently flipped and/or updated, are in high demand.
- In real estate, the main mantra is “location, location, location” and this is true for rentals as well. In particular, we need homes on the East Side of Evansville, the Jimtown area of Evansville (North side of town near the old North High School), McCutchenville, other parts of the north side, and Newburgh. But again, if you have a suitable home anywhere in the region, let us know.
