PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

Your Income Property

Vacancy and tenant transitions directly affect our bottom line. Here at Attard Property Management, we identify quality tenants and develop a cooperative relationship. Knowing that we care for the property tends to foster greater care by our tenants. One of our objectives is to maintain long-term relationships with our tenants. As long as you, the owner, wish to rent your property, we wish for our tenant to remain and care for it. Life's circumstances do occasionally necessitate locale changes. Our personal approach to property management fosters an amicable transition. For a tenant to allow showings prior to departure is special and reduces transition downtimes.

Expenses on Income Property

Home maintenance may be generally categorized by like to do, need to do, and must do. Our initial evaluation identifies these items (particularly helpful for remote owners) and makes correction recommendations. Of particular concern are plumbing issues which, if left unnoticed, lead to costly emergencies. You, the owner, reserve the right to choose the contractor of your choice. Attard Property Management has assembled a team of contractors covering the spectrum of household repairs. Our contractors provide quality service at competitive rates. Attard Property Management is about relationships. Our contractors are part of the team.

Improvements and Rehabilitation  

Should you decide to enhance your investment, Attard Property Management can facilitate assisting with contractor selection and project coordination.

Leasing...finding the right tenants

Finding the right tenants for your property is one of the most important aspects of our job at Attard Property Management. A good tenant will pay rent on time, ensure that your property is taken care of, notifying us of any issues that may arise before they get out of hand, and cooperate with us when repairs and upgrades are needed. In order to find the perfect candidate(s) for your home, our application process requires that prospective tenants complete rental applications as well as allow us to conduct credit, criminal history, and background checks. Reference checks are also done to round out a thorough assessment of whether or not applicants will be the right fit for our owners properties.
