Property Management
There are many reasons to rent a home including:
- For investment purposes
- To avoid foreclosure
- For temporary moves
- If you must move out of the area quickly
As your property managers, we will:
- Prepare your properties for rental and set the rental fees
- Photograph and advertise your property on over 300 web sites
- Screen potential renters by reviewing applications and performing credit and reference checks
- Handle the lease agreement and security deposit
- Meet tenants for move-in and move-out and conduct thorough inspections
- Collect and process monthly rent
- Manage any maintenance issues that arise (including emergencies)
- Perform periodic inspections of your property
- Help keep costs and turnover to a minimum
- Provide monthly statements and year-end tax forms
Here are a few questions that can help you determine if you need property management services:
- Do you have experience managing rental property?
- Are you familiar with fair housing and landlord/tenant laws?
- Do you have relationships with contractors that ensure you can get 24 hour service at reasonable prices?
- Do you know the legal process to deal with non-paying tenants?
- Do you know how to minimize your exposure to liability?
Here are Just a few things our home owners have to say! I have owned several rental properties over the last 10 years and have never found a property manager who is as client-oriented as Jennifer Golden and Joan Anderson. They have provided superb individual attention to us and our property which has made this into our first, trouble-free investment. Their expert knowledge of Virginia Beach property values, and access to a unique pool of potential renters, has ensured we have always received the maximum possible rental income. And not only have they screened all of our prospective tenants as carefully as we would have, they have gone out of their way to keep our property in the best condition. Their superior local knowledge has also ensured timely, high-quality repairs that are also fair value. On more than one occasion, their attention to detail and close scrutiny of repairs saved us hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. We wish all of our property managers had been as conscientious, trustworthy and hard working! - John & Kirstie C. Joan and Jennifer came highly recommended by a fellow military family. And I can see why! They are detail-oriented with excellent follow through, and their customer service is top notch. - Kristen M. Jennifer and Joan were wonderful to work with. Not only do they manage our investment home but they sold us the home of our dreams and made the process super easy. I've recommended them to everyone I know in the market for real-estate agents and if we move again we will only use them to buy, sell, or manage our home. They go above and beyond in every aspect of real estate. - Dave & Courtney C. Jennifer and Joan provided property management well above and beyond our expectations. Renters were found quickly and all matters regarding our property were handled swiftly and efficiently. We truly feel that they were ALWAYS looking out for our best interest as their client, and handled themselves with the utmost professionalism. - Jaime & Derrick B. The truth of the matter is...when I hired Jennifer Golden as my property manager, all my stresses disappeared. She is professional, ethical and down to earth. She is also a military spouse herself and understands how overwhelming a move to a new area can be. She gladly goes out of her way to help you in any way possible or points you in the right direction. As a property owner and a current renter, I have had more than my share of horrible property managers/landlord experiences from both the owner and the tenant side. When I hired Jennifer, it was obvious that she is a property manager that not only cares about my property but my tenants as well. I feel more than confident and lucky to have found Jennifer as my agent. She's a squared away, straight shooting, rock star realtor. She also rented my beautiful unit out in less than 10 days to great tenants. I would recommend her in a heartbeat. - Morena E. We have known and worked with Joan for over 16 years. We have bought three houses and sold one through her; she also manages our rental property. We have referred all of our friends to her, and every one of them has been incredibly happy with her. Joan's work ethic, her attention to detail, her in-depth knowledge of the real estate market, and her incredible level of personal service are unmatched. We wouldn't think of buying, selling, or renting a house without her - she is amazing! – Kevin & Karen V .

My husband and I needed help managing our rental property as we lived across the country. Jennifer and Joan were able to take the reins and get us new tenants and manage every aspect so that we didn't have to do anything at all except approve transactions. They got new laminate flooring installed and responded to issues very quickly. They really have alleviated the burden from us and we are grateful! – Armi & Christian B.
