Our Services

We create an extensive web presence for your rental property by designing a custom web page and using social media to get found on major search engines. Beyond web traffic, we also use property signage. Our marketing program significantly increases exposure for your rental property. As a result, we are able to consistently rent properties priced at current market rates to qualified tenants within a short amount of time.

We place only the best possible tenants in your property. Our thorough screening process for rental applicants has consistently kept our eviction rate extremely low. Prospective tenant screening includes running industry-specific credit reports, background checks, verifying employment, income and previous rental history. We run credit and background reports on all applicants 18 years and older. This report includes a nation-wide search for prior evictions. We verify driver’s licenses, pay stubs as well as contact their prior landlords for confirmation that they have been good tenants in the past. As a management company, we have many procedures to eliminate problem tenants prior to ever renting to them. Placing the right tenant is the single most important step in the process.

Having a management company with specific market knowledge is extremely valuable in assessing rents and knowing local market trends. Your management team will offer suggestions to enhance the appeal of your property and make your property rent-ready. If your property is not currently in rent ready condition, our management team will help you with this process to ease the transition into management. We have years of industry specific experience and have a wide array of procedures to shield owners from unnecessary liability as well as making the tenant feel they are being properly looked after.

No management company would be complete without the ability to handle every conceivable maintenance issue. Hillside Realty Property Management is unique in that we use a combination of our own in-house- maintenance team and a variety of independent contractors that give you and your property both quality work at reasonable prices and quick turnaround. Should you have your own preferred list of vendors, we will contact them on your behalf.

Our accounting department provides our property owners with monthly financial statements posted to your owner web portal or mailed directly to you. The monthly statement includes all financial activity and copies of the bills we paid on your behalf. This same report includes year to date information that will conveniently provide all of your annual figures for tax purposes. Proceeds can be sent along with the report, or an e-check can be directly deposited in a designated bank account. We can tailor our program to fit your requirements. We also send our tenants monthly statements detailing their rent, security deposit, and any pet fees/deposits, utility splits or late fees (if applicable). This extra step and process helps keep tenants informed of their monthly account balances.

We meet prospective tenants in person at the property. We open the door for them, highlight property features, and answer any questions they may have. We then secure the property when the showing is complete.

Our custom, in-house screening utilizes our proven methods and a personal touch to attract long term, quality residents. After a qualified applicant is approved, we prepare a thorough and legally up-to-date lease agreement, and ensure all safety requirements are met. We also include multiple addendums (lead paint, crime and drug free, mold, pet, radon, etc) to ensure you, your property, and your residents are legally protected to the full extent of the law. First month’s rent and a security deposit are collected at signing time, and we provide residents with new keys and online portal access.

We review current resident payment and lease violation history before renewing, as well as review how well they are maintaining the property. We also check the current market rate of the unit to ensure you are getting the best current value for your property.

We provide full online accounting for your property. View any statement 24/7 through our online owner/resident portals. We also support online payments for residents, drastically reducing missed payments. Receive monthly, no hassle direct deposits to your account. You may also receive a traditional check mailed to your address if you choose.

We schedule all property assessments and walkthroughs before, during, and after a tenant move-in, including high resolution photos, 360-degree photos, and detailed room-by-room inspection reports.

We manage resident/landlord interaction, helping to resolve resident disputes, missed payments, conflicts, and property repair requests. We offer timely responses to all maintenance calls, using only the most affordable and experienced licensed vendors and maintenance contractors. Although it is very rare, if necessary, we will coordinate a physical eviction at the property with attorneys and the local county sheriff.

All properties are thoroughly cleaned and inspected, inside and out. We also check that all appliances, smoke/CO detectors, light bulbs, doors, windows, and locks are operating as designed, and change filters for HVAC systems.

We can work with you to identify and acquire ideal investment properties, identifying rental value, and estimating maintenance and turnover costs. For investors wishing to sell, we also have extensive experience with 1031 Exchange.
