Comprehensive Property Management
Buck & Buck, Inc. REALTORS® is pleased to offer comprehensive property management services. Our firm provides full service management including marketing, tenant placement, repair coordination and accounting. Place your home in the care of a trusted and experienced property manager.
Marketing
To market your home for rent, we place a sign on the property and advertise its availability in The Florida Times-Union. Additionally, we place your property in the Multiple Listing Service, which all REALTORS can access. Online advertising currently includes listings on Realtor.com, Craig's List and the Department of Defense military relocation site as well as on our web site. All prospective tenants are met at the property by a representative from our company. No keys are checked out to individuals directly.
Tenant Placement
Anyone wishing to rent your home must complete an application. We order a credit report and make inquiries to the prospective tenant's landlord and employer. If the information given is correct and appropriate regarding their credit worthiness, and we feel the applicant would be a reliable tenant, we will approve the application and notify you. Upon approval, we require the applicant to immediately execute the lease and provide a security deposit. An initial walk-through inspection is conducted prior to the tenant's occupancy. A detailed checklist is compiled for our records, noting all items in each room. The checklist is used when the tenant vacates the property to determine if any damages have been done which are not considered normal wear and tear. Additionally, our agents monitor your property with periodic inspections.
Repairs
Our staff can assist you by coordinating necessary repairs through our preferred vendors or your home warranty company. If you prefer to provide us with a list of licensed professionals to perform repairs on your property, we will be glad to work with them in the event you have a repair need. All repair requests are evaluated to determine if the repair is necessary and if the repair is the responsibility of the owner. Our property management agreement stipulates that necessary repairs under $250 are ordered directly by our staff. Should a repair be estimated over $250, our staff will contact you immediately.
Accounting
- All tenants are required to deliver rental payments directly to Buck & Buck, Inc. After depositing the funds, we disburse your proceeds to you as quickly as possible. Due to Florida Real Estate Commission regulations, we are required to wait ten days from the date of deposit when disbursing rental payments made by personal check. Management fees and repair costs are deducted from your monthly proceeds. We provide both monthly and year-end reports for income tax purposes. Proceeds are paid via our direct deposit service.
