Tampa Bay Property Management for Tampa Bay and Central Florida Investors

Benefits of using Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group

You own rental investment properties to make money. If you’ve been struggling to manage your rentals on your own, you’ve probably found it’s harder than it sounds to balance costs against returns. When you bring us on for your Tampa Bay rental property management needs, here’s how we’ll help:

Comprehensive Maintenance Services

There are no middle of the night calls for you when we handle your Tampa Bay property management needs. We can handle it all for you from routine repairs to regular maintenance through our Building Services Dispatcher who serves the greater Tampa Bay/Lakeland Area. We work aggressively to keep an eye on your bottom line while protecting you from the liability of improperly licensed or non-insured vendors.

Our Residential Asset Property Manager will manage the relationship between you and your tenant’s repair needs using 24/7 Dispatching Coordinator. There are many vendors to choose from, but we require maintenance provides to maintain any required license, liability insurance, workers comp or state issued exemption and vehicle insurance as a protection to the property owner.

Tenants can be hard on rental properties but so can allowing a property to age without proper preventative maintenance. The Florida sun and humidity lessen the life of most paint and roof products. Aging hot water heaters and water connection lines to appliances can spring leaks.

When a tenant contacts us with a service request, our first step is to trouble-shoot the issue directly with the tenant. If we resolve the issue over the phone with the tenant, there is no charge to you or the tenant; this service is part of our monthly management fee. If we do determine that there is a rental property maintenance issue and cannot resolve it over the phone, then we will dispatch a technician to resolve the issue.

If the cost of repair will be $300 or less, we will move forward with the repair and simply bill your account in our system. If we estimate that the cost could exceed $300, we will seek your approval. If you are not reachable and the situation is an emergency threatening the safety of the tenant or the structure of the home, we will take the most prudent action to minimize risk of additional damage.

If the tenant caused the maintenance issue, then we will seek to recover the expense from the tenant. In all cases (regardless of the type of repair, or the estimated cost), you and your Residential Asset Property Manager will receive a courtesy alert through our automated system which will inform you that there was a maintenance issue. If you do not want to be alerted, we can turn off that feature.

We have agreements with a wide variety of Vendors who can handle just about anything ranging from day-to-day maintenance, to turnovers, as well as rehabbing and large-scale projects.
