Services

You may download a sample of our Management Agreement for review; the completed document can either be e-mailed, mailed or faxed to you for signature. When you sign the agreement you immediately accomplish several things:

• You create a legal agency relationship between yourself and GPM which among other things enables us to sign leases on your behalf.
• You give us the authority to list your home in the MLS real estate data base whenever we need to find a tenant and place signage in the yard.
• You turn your home into a business.
• And lastly, you take the first step toward the complete peace of mind that you should have when you hire a professional property management company.

We will also need you to fill out the Property Management Information Form and return it to us as soon as possible. This tells us everything that we should know about the administration of your property including any service agreements you may have, what your community amenities are, your insurance information, etc.  We can also handle paying the HOA fees and any other maintenance fees if you request this service.

If you have never rented your home before and are about to move out we will visit the property and make recommendations regarding improving the marketability of the home. We can advise you what to spend your money on and equally important, what not to spend your money on.

We do NOT charge you (Owners) any advertising fees, you can log into your account with us and view the ledgers at anytime.  We can also send the rent payment to you by EFT.    
We do NOT hold any of your money in escrow like some companies do.   We only charge the leasing fee (1/2 month's rent) a maximum of 1 time in a 12month period in the case of someone getting evicted there is no fee to you for us re-renting your property.   If someone decides to stay another year lease renewals are $150 we do NOT charge you the 1/2 month's rent again.

Tenants can also log into their account and view their status and make payments electronically if they so desire.    Rent can also be paid at our office or mailed to GPM.

If your property is presently managed, once you have given the other company notice of your intent to conclude your agreement we will coordinate the transfer of records, funds, keys, etc. with the other manager to ensure a smooth changeover.

If your property has tenants in place when we take over we will schedule an inspection and alert you if there are any issues requiring immediate action. If the property is vacant we will perform a market analysis and advise you of its current rental value. Upon your approval of the price we recommend we will place the home in the MLS database as well as in the Homes for Rent section of our website and begin the search for a tenant.

The remaining form we will need from you is:

• IRS Form W-9: This identifies the Social Security or Tax ID number we will use when we file the 1099 MISC rental income report each year with the IRS.

Typically we email these documents to you for completion along with the other materials, however if you wish to expedite the transition into our management program you may download any of the above, fill them out and fax them to us.

We send you, the owner a monthly computerized financial statement and a computer generated check of the monthly net income by the 15th of each month.    We let you know if the tenant has not paid the rent by the 5th and we put a notice on the door and mail them one notifying them of the rent being past due, we also let you know if they are late and when to expect your check.

Contact us anytime with any questions or concerns you may have, we are easily reachable by email or phone.   We look forward to working with and for you!
