We believe in transparency and keeping our property owners well-informed, ensuring you always stay updated on your property's status. We’ll deliver an Owner's Statement every second Friday of the month, providing a comprehensive breakdown of collected rent and any maintenance tasks completed on your property. Along with this detailed report, we include copies of all invoices related to maintenance work conducted during that period. Additionally, at the end of each month, you will receive a month-end statement.

How is rent collection handled?

Our residents receive courteous notifications about upcoming rent dues, fostering a more positive resident-landlord relationship.

Do I get to see the lease or sign it?

If you would like to see the lease, we can provide you with a copy. The resident signs a lease with Easy Keys Property Group as your Agent.

Can you put the money directly into my account?

Yes, we make ACH payments directly into owner accounts. We disperse to owners on the second Friday of the month and again on the last day of the month.

Do you sell real estate too?

Can I review your management agreement?

Don't hesitate to get in touch with us, whether it's a call or an email to [email protected]. We're more than happy to provide you with a copy of our current management agreement, sent directly to your inbox.

How much should I budget for maintenance?

The cost of maintenance for your rental property can vary depending on factors such as the age and size of your home. However, a general rule of thumb in the industry is to anticipate annual maintenance costs to be around 1% of your property's value. This estimate, of course, can fluctuate based on the specific conditions and needs of your property.

Can I choose the resident once Easy Keys Group has done the screening?

We uphold a firm commitment to privacy and fairness. As such, we do not disclose any details from a resident's application to property owners. All application approvals are handled internally by our experienced team, adhering strictly to the Fair Housing guidelines. We aim to ensure a fair and equitable process for all involved.

How do you screen applicants?

Our high-quality resident screening process digs deeper. We gather extensive information on the following — credit check, employment verification, debt-to-income ratios, eviction history check, criminal history check, and previous landlord calls. Our screening process is not just based on a credit score alone, we take a comprehensive look at the overall applicant.

Can I rent my property and still keep it listed for sale?

No, unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests to rent properties that are currently listed for sale. We can help you list and sell the property through our brokerage department or list it for rent.

Am I better off renting my property in this current market?

It’s challenging for us to provide a definitive answer without hearing about your situation. That said, we can assure you that even in a downturned real estate market, we are able to successfully rent out numerous properties to help thousands of owners earn income from their rental portfolios.
