The 10 Most Common Reasons Landlords Use Property Management Services

Real estate agent offer house. Property insurance and security concept. Wide banner composition with bokeh background.
Most landlords begin property investing with the mindset that they’re going to take care of everything themselves. The idea is that investing in a rental is a hands-off way to make money, and in some cases, that turns out to be true. If you’re renting a single- or double-family unit that doesn’t require much upkeep and you have good, long-term tenants, it’s possible that you could simply collect rent checks that turn you a profit and not have to worry about your property on the regular…. [Read More]

Finding reliable tenants is half the battle in property ownership. A reliable tenant will be able to pay you rent on time, will likely stay with you for a long time, and has a low likelihood of causing damage to your property or disrupting your other tenants.

There’s a reason why two-thirds of homebuyers and sellers use a certified real estate agent to facilitate the process. The housing market can be complex and confusing, to say the least!

Susan G. (Tenant) – Houston, TX

I cannot say enough good things about Green Residential! The staff is professional and courteous beyond expectation.

My husband and I had been in the process of purchasing a property and at the last minute decided not to move forward. We were already packed, had movers scheduled and were anxious to move when we began our search for a rental property.

Our first contact with Green Residential was Pam, the realtor who showed us a house perfectly suited to our needs. She was wonderful! Understanding our circumstances, she immediately went to work to expedite the lease and get us into the property of our dreams within three days although the property had only just been listed and make-ready had not been completed.

As soon as we were in the house, Leslie Green Wray took over to address the make-ready issues in a timely manner. She was also helpful in our transferring utilities, etc. on such short notice. She has truly gone out of her way to make us comfortable and happy in our new home!

I also want to commend the various service professionals Green has sent out for repairs…all trustworthy, courteous and efficient tradesmen!

We couldn’t be happier!!

Gary M. – San Diego, CA

I have used Green Residential to manage my property in Spring Texas for the past year. I reside in San Diego, and I have never personally met Leon, or anyone from from Green Residential, and that is why communication and straight forward talk is so important. I can tell you from past experiences that you will not find a better company to manage your property. If Google would let me give Green Residential , “Ten Stars” then I would of – in essence I am now giving them a 10.
