FAQs
How are you different than other managers?
We don’t just sit back and collect our fees - with Zenith Properties, your fee gets you more and it gets you professional service. We don’t drop the ball. We do what we say we will. We are proactive and communicative. We don’t charge for every tiny action we take with your property. We care about you, your property and your tenants.
What’s required to get started?
First, reach out! Then, we’ll schedule a consultation to get to know each other and confirm we’re a good fit. Next, our owner intake form will ensure that we start off on the right foot by getting us all of the information we need to understand the lay of your land (no pun intended!) and your goals. We will walk through the property, sign agreements and transfer keys. Then, your job is to sit back and relax.
What is covered with my monthly fee?
Advertising a vacant property, showing it to prospects, applicant screening and approval, leasing, handling maintenance requests, rent collection, bill pay, monthly statements, necessary addendums/legal notices, annual inspections, lease renewals, etc.
Can you take over management of my property if there is already a tenant in possession and/or it’s managed by another property manager?
Yes! The tenant should be in good standing with rent collection, there should be no legal matters pending and - you should have confirmed your ability to change property managers and will need to inform them of your decision to switch.
What maintenance/ongoing costs should I expect?
We strive to keep your maintenance costs as low as possible while maintaining the value of your property. This means that if we can complete a maintenance request without calling in a service provider, we will. Age of your home, past upkeep, time as a rental, etc. all contribute to ongoing costs. We require a Reserve Fund to ensure that we can promptly address most maintenance requests and recommend that owners set aside ~1% annually of the property’s value for unexpected costs.
