PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

The management of income producing properties encompasses leasing, service to tenants, maintenance and repairs, hiring personnel, collecting rents, collections, representing owners in unlawful detainer actions, purchasing and accounting. Income properties such as yours are frequently managed by Professional Property Managers who specialize in this field of real estate.

Our leadership has over 80 years of combined Professional Property Management experience. Experience is critical to handling the variety of physical, emotional and legal issues that come up each day in Property Management. We believe our team is unmatched in this vital component of quality property management.

While our experience is second-to-none in the Greater Spokane Area, we believe it is vital to remain up-to-date in our industry. To that end, we are active members in the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). This is an ever-changing business due to yearly updates in Landlord-Tenant Law and the fast pace at which technology is changing our business. We feel it is imperative for any Professional Property Manager to take the time and effort to stay involved and stay current with the many changes affecting rental property owners each year.

Washington State law requires that a Professional Property Manager be licensed as a real estate Broker/Agent in order to collect a commission and/or fee for his service. Washington State law also requires that you have a local agent represent your rental property and all notices to tenants be mailed from within the county in which the property resides. [RCW 59.18]

Profitable property management is not easy. It requires the knowledge, skills, and daily attention of a trained, experienced, professional management team. Our marketing, maintenance, and management strategy has been carefully planned to maximize your profit during the rental period and upon the resale of the property.

A harmonious Owner-Agent relationship is imperative. It is not enough that both parties are comfortable doing business with one another. There must be a mutual feeling of trust and respect. Since each Party has specific duties and obligations to the other, it is only good business to reduce them to writing. The agreement should clearly define the rights and responsibilities of each Party and the Agent’s compensation. The management agreement, which follows, was custom designed to accomplish that purpose.

~ OUR PROMISE ~

Madison Real Estate and Property Management, Inc. pledges the unconditional honesty and best efforts of our staff in the management of your property. Your interests come first. While the tenant is our customer, you as the owner are our client and we work for you.
