Advertising

According to a recent study conducted by Zillow.com, 84% of all renters search for their next rental home online. This means that your vacancy not only needs to be listed online, but must be listed on a variety of different online sites to ensure maximum exposure. When you sign up with the Integrity Realty & Management system, your vacancy gets syndicated to over 20 different rental websites to ensure maximum exposure to prospective renters.

We take care of obtaining maximum exposure for your property on the internet. You no longer have to worry about the research and expense necessary to advertising your rental. What’s more, you don’t pay us anything until your property rents which means we carry the cost of advertising as our incentive to get you results!

Showings

Prospective tenants wishing to view our rentals can quickly and easily schedule a showing 24 hours a day online through our website. This means that even when our office is closed, interested tenants can schedule a showing appointment without having to wait to speak with someone. This helps enable us to rent your property quickly and keep you vacancy low.

Tenant Screening

Unfortunately, most Landlords rent their houses to anyone who shows interest without knowing a single thing about them. This can be costly in the form of unpaid rent and property damage. This is where tenant screening comes in. Integrity Realty & Management offers Landlords a comprehensive Tenant Screening solution that includes:

Lease Preparation

The cornerstone of the landlord/tenant relationship is the lease agreement. A good lease is what protects you and one of your largest financial investments. Our professional lease agreement is written to protect you, the Landlord. After all, the landlord has the most to lose… their real estate investment worth potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. Through our years of experience in the Property Management industry, we have compiled a very comprehensive lease agreement that covers almost every possible situation that can arise in a Landlord/Tenant relationship.

Rent Collection

When your Littleton property is being managed by Integrity Realty & Management, rent collection is a breeze by providing your tenants with convenient methods to pay their move-in funds and monthly lease payments. The ability to pay online with ePayments is available at no additional charge making it easy for your tenants to ensure their rent payments are made on time. Tenants can use their web browser or mobile device 24 hours per day to make payments and automated email alerts notify tenants when rent is due or over due.

Delinquency Processing

We aggressively pursue delinquent tenants to ensure rent is paid in a timely manner. Tenants are penalized for late payments and served legal notices in accordance with Colorado law to ensure compliance.

With Integrity Realty & Management collecting your rent payments each month, you no don’t have to be the one to confront late tenants. We are experienced at collecting rent and do so with a no nonsense method. You can expect us to:

Your mortgage company expects you to pay your mortgage on time. Tenants are expected to pay their rent on time… it’s that simple!

Evictions

While no one likes to acknowledge that it can happen to them, evictions are an ever present concern when you own Littleton rental property. We try to avoid them with comprehensive background screening upfront, but while this screening does drastically reduce the likelihood of evictions, it does not eliminate them. One of the top concerns most new landlords express to us is that of evictions.

Should an eviction become necessary, we handle everything for you at no additional charge by serving the tenant with an official demand to pay notice. If the tenants still do not comply by paying the full rent owed, we coordinate with an expert landlord/tenant attorney to begin eviction proceedings. All court costs are deducted from tenant’s security deposit so you don’t have to come out of pocket.

Accounting

Investment real estate has certain tax benefits and should be treated like a business. As such, keeping detailed accounting records of your investment is a must. Integrity Realty & Management generates complete and accurate records reflecting the cash flow associated with your Littleton rental property. Income such as rent and late fees, and expenses such as our monthly services fees, repairs, and evictions costs, are reflected on your statements. You’ll be provided with monthly cash flow statements, a year end summary statement, and yearly Form 1099-MISC to aid you or your accountant with your tax preparation.

Maintenance

We relieve you of the hassle of receiving maintenance calls from tenants. If the tenants have a maintenance request, they can either submit them to us online through the Tenant Portal or call our maintenance department which is available to receive calls 24-hours. We will notify and obtain authorization from you first prior to conducting any non-emergency repair exceeding a pre-authorized amount. In the event of an emergency (i.e. pipe burst, electrical sparking, no heat, etc.), we will immediately dispatch a maintenance professional in order to prevent further damage and notify you as soon as possible. In most cases, the next months rent will provide sufficient funds to cover any repairs and it will not be necessary for you to send funds.

Inspections

Integrity Realty & Management conducts multiple inspections throughout the year to ensure your Littleton property is being taken care of.

Submit Tenant Balance to Collections

Ideally, when a tenant moves out, a move-out inspection would be conducted, everything would check out perfectly, and the tenant would receive a full refund of their security deposit. But what happens when the tenant owes rent, fees, and the costs to repair damages exceeds the security deposit? Most Landlords just get frustrated and end up writing it off as one of the pains of dealing with tenants, never to see a dime.

Not when your home is managed by Integrity Realty & Management. When you use us, we can submit your tenant balances to a collections agency thereby having the debt follow the tenant and increase the likelihood of payment in the future. This makes it difficult for them to buy a car, purchase a home, and especially, rent another house without paying you first. Why should they get out scot-free and stick you with the bill? We help you level the playing field by providing you with a collection resource that independent Landlords don’t have.

Owner Portal

You’ll have access to your account 24 hours a day through your own secure Owner Portal. Through the Owner Portal, you can view your monthly and/or yearly statements, lease documentation (lease agreements and management agreement), maintenance invoices and inspection reports.
