How Leasing Your Home Works
First, we take time to understand why you’re considering leasing your residential property. Your home might be a long-term rental investment, or you may be relocating or working abroad and want to earn income while you’re away.
Next, we determine if this should be a short-term or long-term lease, based on your plans and comfort level. Our job is to find the best tenant to fit your leasing profile and manage the process from beginning to end—identifying and qualifying tenants, preparing lease agreements, and collecting rent payments on your behalf. We can also coordinate maintenance and periodic inspections to ensure everything is running smoothly during your absence.
Determining Potential Rental Income
The next step is to determine your potential rental income. Creative Housing Real Estate is a full-service rental and real estate company, and our experience in the housing industry is broad and deep. We continuously monitor the market from multiple angles—rental rates, supply and demand, neighborhood trends, and property condition.
We will tour your home and provide an honest opinion of the potential income range that fits the size, location, and condition of your home. This helps you set realistic expectations and make informed decisions about leasing your property.
Administration of Lease Agreements
Once you decide to move forward, we handle the administration of lease agreements on your behalf. First, we identify and qualify a prospective renter. Next, we work with you to determine an appropriate rent amount. Finally, we assist in drafting the paperwork and lease, including key terms and conditions.
Our role is to mediate between you (the lessor) and the renter (lessee) so both parties agree on fair, clearly defined terms. Once you have moved out and the renter has moved in, we offer optional management services to make the experience even easier. If you choose, we can manage rent collection, coordinate maintenance, and schedule inspections—giving you peace of mind that your home is well cared for and your interests are protected.
Options for Maintaining Your Home While It’s Leased
We offer additional services to help maintain your home while it is leased and avoid unnecessary damage or wear and tear.
Repairs. We can coordinate professional repairs and services when something needs attention in your absence. Appliances eventually stop working, faucets can leak, and storms may cause exterior damage. While we hope these issues never arise, they are a normal part of homeownership—and we can handle them for you.
Inspections. Our professional inspectors are available to walk through your home on a periodic basis to ensure that your property is being well maintained and that everything is in working order. We provide photo documentation along with a detailed inspection report. Our goal is to give you ongoing peace of mind that your home is truly being looked after.
