Maintenance and Repairs In Aledo

One of the biggest headaches for property owners is handling maintenance and repair issues. At Fort Property Management we take great pride in maintaining quality relationships with our vendors, while also pressing them to ensure we are getting a fair price for our clients. Finding a responsive and trusted vendor for each trade can be a challenge that is hard to accomplish the one time every three years you need a contractor for that random item that is no longer working. By hiring a management company you are getting the advantage of getting guidance from a person who is dealing with those contractors on a monthly, weekly, and sometimes daily basis. Your property manager is also intimately familiar with what items should cost, as they are constantly getting bids for similar repairs. This means that you are getting a fair price for the work required.


Minimized Vacancy Times In Aledo

Vacancy can be the most costly event for a landlord. Using those vendor relationship mentioned above to quickly make the property ready for save you thousands. Our goal at Fort Property Management is to have any rental property that comes vacant ready for rent in just 7 days. Once the property is ready we will market your property effectively. We market your property through all major websites, including Zillow . Fun fact - Your local Realtors normal MLS no longer syndicates to Zillow. Every experienced property manager will know this, but some agents who only perform leasing as a one off are unaware. We also perform all showings in person with a licensed Realtor, follow up on all leads and help you to set a competitive, but attainable price from the beginning so that we get the property leased out quickly.
