From the first walkthrough to the year-end tax statement, here is what we take care of for you. A few services carry their own fee: the Leasing Fee, which covers marketing and placing a new tenant, plus mid-lease property surveys and lease renewals. Everything else listed below is part of full-service management.
Before your home goes on the market, we walk through it, note its condition and recommend any repairs or touch-ups that will help it rent. We also give you our opinion of the right rent, based on comparable rentals nearby.
We list your home on the MLS, put up a yard sign and send the listing to more than 70 rental websites, plus our own website and social media. We work with outside leasing agents to reach more renters. While the home is empty we check on it for security, and lawn service is available to keep it looking its best. Marketing and placing a tenant are covered by a separate Leasing Fee.
Every adult 18 or older who will live in the home fills out a full application. We check credit, criminal and rental history and verify income, and applicants must meet our written Tenant Selection Criteria before a lease is signed. Good screening is the most important thing we do, because it prevents most problems before they start.
Rent due dates are spelled out in the lease, and tenants can pay online through the tenant portal. If a payment is late, we act right away. Rent payment history is reported to Experian RentBureau, which gives tenants another reason to pay on time.
We use only licensed and insured vendors. Fast responses to repair requests protect your property and keep good tenants happy. Residents can reach a 24-hour emergency line that is answered by a person, not a machine.
We contact you before any non-emergency repair over $350.
Halfway through every lease, and again when the lease comes up for renewal, we inspect the home to catch maintenance issues or lease violations early. After each inspection you get a written report with photos in your owner portal. Mid-lease property surveys and lease renewals carry a separate charge.
Our accounting is computerized and cash-based. Each month you get a statement with invoices attached, available any time in the online owner portal. At year end you get a year-end statement and a 1099 to make tax prep easier.
Owner funds go out by electronic funds transfer (direct deposit) each month, around the 8th, depending on weekends and holidays.
DB Broker LLC will cover the cost of an attorney to handle your uncontested eviction at the Justice of the Peace (JP) Court level for nonpayment of rent on any tenant we have screened and placed. Please note that this does not apply to contested evictions or jury trials. Restrictions apply, so please ask us for all the details.
We manage rental homes in San Antonio and nearby towns, including New Braunfels, Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Live Oak, Universal City, Windcrest, Converse, Kirby and Seguin.
