As the leading property management company in the San Francisco Bay Area, TheSFPropertyManagement Inc. is dedicated to ensuring your investment properties are not just a roof over someone’s head but a reliable source of income. One vital aspect of this commitment is the seamless transition between tenants, often referred to as the “turnover” process. Today, we’ll walk you through this essential procedure, shedding light on how we execute it effectively to maximize your returns.
Tenant Provides Notice of Move-out
The first step in preparing for a turnover occurs when a tenant decides not to renew their lease or communicates their intent to vacate. This pivotal moment triggers a well-defined checklist within our management team, ensuring a streamlined process. Whether the tenant responds to our renewal inquiries or proactively informs us about their decision, we take immediate action.
Our dedicated team will document the tenant’s notice, keeping you informed of the upcoming vacancy. In doing so, we lay the foundation for a smooth transition that minimizes downtime between occupants, safeguarding your rental income.
Our Team Conducts a Move-out Inspection
Once the tenant has moved out and returned possession of the property, we perform a comprehensive move-out inspection. We prioritize efficiency, conducting this inspection within 1-2 business days to expedite the process and ensure your property is back on the market promptly.
During this inspection, we meticulously capture up to 100 high-resolution photographs of the property. These images serve as crucial documentation, allowing us to identify any potential security deposit deductions. Whether there is damage to the unit or insufficient cleaning, these photos provide concrete evidence to support any necessary deductions.
The move-out inspection also marks the beginning of our planning phase. We evaluate the property’s general condition and outline the necessary steps to prepare it for the next tenant. Following the inspection, we provide you with a detailed scope and estimate, ensuring transparency in our approach. Your approval is sought before we proceed with any repairs or updates, putting you in control of your property’s management.
We Begin Updating and Repairing the Unit
With your approval in hand, we dive into the task of restoring your property to its optimal condition. Our team covers a range of activities during this phase, including lock re-keying, deep cleaning, painting, and necessary flooring updates. Our goal is to make cost-effective improvements that maximize your rental income without overspending.
The objective is clear: to present your property in the best possible light to prospective tenants. By maintaining an appealing, well-maintained property, we attract high-quality renters and secure a reliable income stream for you.
The Unit is Ready to Lease
Once the property has undergone its transformation, it’s time to find a new tenant. Our leasing department swings into action, engaging a professional photographer to capture the property’s updated look. These new photos are used to create an enticing listing that showcases your property’s full potential.
During this phase, our team manages the entire leasing process, including scheduling showings, leading property tours, and handling tenant screening and applications. We understand that your time is valuable, and we take on the responsibility of efficiently and effectively filling your vacancies.
