The Southern Touch Team is dedicated to ensuring you receive optimum rental rates for your property, effective property advertising and exceptional tenant relations. You will also receive complete financial reporting, 24 hour maintenance request sourcing and superior customer service. Below is a more detailed list of our services.
ADVERTISING / MARKETING
We handle the placement of all advertising -- signs, newspaper ads (if requested), website advertising, rental lists, and referrals. We receive and process all calls from the advertising.
TENANT APPLICATIONS & SHOWING
We require a detailed rental application to be completed by prospective tenants. Each application is thoroughly evaluated and screened before approval. This includes both a background and credit check.
TENANT MOVE IN / OUT
We draw up lease agreements and ensure they are properly executed. We perform move in inspections and collect the first month’s rent and security deposit. Upon the completion of the lease, we inspect the property and return the balance of the security deposit (minus cost for repairs). We then clean the property, make necessary repairs and rekey the locks.
RENTS & DEPOSITS
We require security deposits to secure the tenant's pledge of full compliance with the terms of the lease. Security deposits are held in a trust account according to SC Statutes. We collect the rents and provide monthly statements. We also review the rents at the end of each lease period to assure that your property is receiving its best income potential according to the existing market conditions. We also send out pay notices and enforce late fees.
TENANT RELATIONS
We maintain a courteous and professional relationship with each tenant. Our goal is satisfied long-term tenants who pay the rent on time and take care of the property.
MAINTENANCE
We contract only the most experienced maintenance and repair professionals available to handle maintenance needs as they arise.
STATEMENTS & ACCOUNTING
We send you an itemized statement each month. Your net check will be included with each statement. We also provide receipts and detailed invoices reflecting any expenses. We also provide annual reporting for easier tax preparation, along with a 1099-Misc.
ALWAYS AVAILABLE
On call personnel are always available after hours for emergencies.
MANAGEMENT FEES
Our management fee is a small percentage of the gross monthly rent collected, and our leasing fees are reasonable and competitive. When your property is vacant, we are working actively to advertise and secure a suitable tenant, and we are continuing to take care of all the maintenance and repair needs -- if any -- as they become necessary.
