This picture shows a Rental Property without the proper management!  At Acadian we inspect your property so the above will have less chance of happening!

1. The main reason why anyone would want to have us look after their property is because of our personal approach. First of all, we have about double the staff in our firm as the industry norms say we should have. This allows us to be proactive rather than reactive in taking care of problems. It also allows us to spend more time with people; You almost always get to talk to us rather than a machine, during office hours; Your tenants will find a friendlier reception with someone who is not so pushed for time. We feel that in the long run, everyone comes out a winner when the personal touch is used in the everyday management of your asset. We still have things like systematic procedures and state of the art computer programs, but we like to treat people like people and property like homes. Back to Top How do you choose the tenants? 2. We consider this one of our most important tasks. We feel that a bad tenant is worse than no tenant at all, so we apply stringent screening processes in our tenant selection. Back to Top Should I provide for gardening services on my property? 3. That depends mostly on the property and can best be determined when we preview your property. However, you should provide services to the tenant for things like fertilizing, lawn aeration, pest control, and tree trimming. If the lawn never receives any "weed and feed" it will start looking like a rental. And a tenant may not know what they are doing when they trim your trees, and you do not want a tenant climbing a ladder for liability reasons. Back to Top How do you advertise your properties? 4. We start the marketing process as soon as we find out the tenant is going to be leaving the property. Around the first part of the year, we will contact you and make our recommendations and get your instructions on re-renting the property. In March and April, we start getting feedback from the tenants on whether or not they will be staying. We then start compiling our list of properties that will be turning over. People can come to our front door rack and pick up our rental list 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We also rent about 25% of our properties from our "For Rent:" signs that we post at the property. About 70% of Davis is on the Internet, so we also have a list of our properties on the World Wide Web. We are going to put a new voice mail system on line for calls received after hours. This system will allow prospective tenants to find out about properties that we have advertised in the paper and have applications and rent list faxed to them on demand, when noone is here. Furthermore, we are finding that a lot of people browse the Web when they are going to relocate here from other areas. We advertise in classified section of The Davis Enterprise. Finally, we rent a lot of properties because of our excellent reputation here in Davis, from our "personal approach" in serving people. Word does get around in this small town. Back to Top What do we do for the money? 5. We provide you with the peace of mind in knowing that you have the best possible management available for your property. We will treat your property like it is our own. For instance, we will not forget about your property once it is rented. We will do regular inspections, and if you wish, a general contractor can go through your property once and year and make a written report on the general condition of the property as well as any recommendations for work that needs to be done. If it is neglected, a little job can turn into a very big, expensive job in a short period of time. Back to Top Who pays for repairs to vacancies? 6. Who pays for repairs to vacancies? We have systematic procedures that we apply after a tenant has vacated the property. And we will determine who is responsible for putting the property back into the condition it was in prior to the resident moving in. For instance, we require a receipt for a professional cleaning or we will charge the tenant's security deposit for a carpet cleaning upon their vacating the property. And, we will apply a 3 year peroration for any painting that needs to be done. Also, if the property was painted prior to the resident moving in , and it needs painting when the tenant moves out a year later, then the tenant would pay for 2/3 of the paint job. Our goal is to charge the resident for everything that they be should accountable for. We want you to know that we think this is a very important time in the management cycle, and we will do everything we can to protect your interests. Back to Top Are you the Cheapest company in town? 7. Probably not. Today it seems there is a new property management company starting out every other day, trying to beat everyone else's prices. At Acadian, our management fees are very competitive, and we certainly are not the most expensive. On the other hand, we charge a fair fee for a tremendous service. And when all other fees and services are considered, we are very competitive. You do not pay extra for:
