My reply is always…”I LOVE IT!”

The shock on their face is PRICELESS! (just like in the MASTERCARD commercial! The face of shock is usually followed by the next typical question of “REALLY?”

So I answer…”YES…Really!”

Here’s the reason why…

I know the reason why everyone is shocked by the answer to my question. It’s usually because the misconception is that being a “LANDLORD” is problematic, a headache, and something that most people DON’T want to do. They don’t want to deal with tenants, they don’t want to deal with late night calls from tenants complaining about some maintenance issue, they don’t want to attempt to collect rents, have to deal with evictions, and deal with the mess of a problematic tenant!

Guess what? WE DO~! But the great thing is…WE really don’t!

The secret to success in Property Management is SYSTEMS~! Like most anything in business, you MUST develop systems, define them to understand, implement them, and refine as you go along.

I call this my DEFINE & REFINE Method.

Fire Safety Inspections:

When owning investment property, the biggest concern one should have is whether or not the home is being properly maintained, cared for, and PROTECTED! At Hart Realty & Property Management, we take great pride in concerning ourselves with ALL THREE.

Focusing on the PROTECTED aspect, we conduct a Fire Safety Inspection with EVERY property that we take on to our Myrtle Beach Property Management, with NO EXCEPTIONS!

One question we get asked alot is Why we do this and no one else does? Well, I can’t speak for why others don’t, but what I can tell you is that WE do it because it protects both your home and the future tenant that will reside in your property. Yes, we ensure that we protect the home, but we also like to take care of and protect our tenants as well. Our tenants are our future and our business (Our = Both you the property owner and us), without them, neither entity gets to make $. It is something that we believe is the recipe for a long lasting relationship with both owners and tenants alike. When the tenant knows they are moving into a safe property and they are being taken care of, they are less likely to want to relocate elsewhere upon lease fulfillment and they also attract others to our Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental Program as referred business.

With each and every Fire Safety Inspection we conduct, we send a trained and qualified individual in to the home to conduct an extensive inspection  as per a checklist guide from the U.S. Labor Department’s OSHA regulation (Occupational Safety & Health Administration).

After the inspection, we receive a detailed analysis of the home and it’s condition relating to its safety condition. If there are any deficiencies noted on the inspection, we inform the owner of the required repairs necessary to bring the home up to regulation. Once complete, you can rest assured that both your home and the tenant are safe.

Why is this important? First off, your investment property is most likely your most expensive asset you own. Whether it is a inexpensive 1 bedroom or a luxury home, it is something that NEEDS to be PROTECTED. Secondly, we also value the lives of the future tenants that will reside in your home. In case a fire should ever happen in the home, we want to ensure that the tenants have the best chance of survival through early detection and alert and in turn the Fire Department can be notified immediately to remedy the situation as soon as possible.

If your Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental has never had a Fire Safety Inspection and it is older than 1 year old, you need to call Hart Realty & Property Management.

REMEMBER…We value your home as if it were our own!

Hart Realty & Property Management…”THE Company you can TRUST” for all your Myrtle Beach Property Management and Myrtle Beach Long Term Rental needs!

In Real Estate sales, the “Rule of Thumb” is “Curb Appeal!” As the owner or the agent of the property For Sale, you want to WOW the potential buyer so that they are not only impressed with their First Impression of the home, but also propels them to inquire further. Much is the same for our Long Term rentals in Myrtle Beach. Our standard is to have a home presentable to the point that it not only IMPRESSES the potential tenant, but also makes them HAVE TO HAVE IT! We look to give little reason for a potential tenant to “not want” the home unless it does not suit their needs beyond measures we cannot control (i.e. size, layout, affordability, etc.)

Not only does providing a CLEAN and presentable home offer itself the ability to rent more quickly, it also leaves the tenant a “STANDARD” by which you can hold them to. As long as you identify that the standard by which the tenant has procurred the home MUST be maintained during the term of the tenancy AND upon vacating the home after the full and faithful execution of the lease, you will find that your tenants will start to become more quality tenants in THEIR living standards. One point to remember with this though is, you CANNOT just ASSUME that because you provided them a clean and presentable home, that they, the tenant, will just automatically keep the home clean and presentable. You still need to check up on your tenant bhy doing periodic drive-by checks on the property/home and some sort of regular inspections of the interior of the home.
