Introduction

I take pride in finding quality, responsible tenants who pay their rent on time. If a tenant vacates for any reason, I will replace them for free. Our service department is top notch. I am available pretty much 24/7 as your personal account executive, helping you through every step of the rental process. I also specialize in residential selling and buying. I have great flexibility and this industry allows me to interact with many different types of people on a continuous basis. My co-workers are very enjoyable to work with. Over all I thoroughly enjoy meeting new people and helping them move their lives forward.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

The leasing fee is the first month's rent, which we collect directly from the tenant. The management fee is between 8 and 10 percent of the monthly rent, depending on the property and landlord needs. We are not the cheapest but we are the best! Beware of the cheapest guys in town.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We typically first meet at your property to determine a rental price. This gives us a good chance to meet and to discuss more details about our services.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I am a licensed Realtor in the state of Missouri, and I've lease hundreds of houses, condos and apartments.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Real Estate runs in my family. My mother was a Title Closer for many years and my father was a General Contractor building many houses. I grew up around real estate and grew to enjoy seeing people move forward in their lives. After graduating from the University of Missouri- Columbia I was helping flip houses then decided to become a full time realtor and property manager.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Local, out-of-state, investors, first time landlords, buyers and sellers...

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently market, leased and managed a home within 2 weeks. The communication between owner, I and the office support team was flawless allowing for such a short timeline to get everything completed. I am happy to have a good office team supporting me along the way with each property I continue to manage.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Choose someone who will answer the phone and someone who will not run from problems or issues. You want someone who will treat your property as if it were their own.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Is there going to be good communication throughout the relationship?
