PROPERTY MANAGEMENT

A FULL SERVICE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE

We have three professional Property Managers to service your rental needs. The Excel Company is a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). Our Property Managers have been trained or certified with the cities of Puyallup, Tacoma and or Lakewood for their "Crime Free" Housing- Rental / Multi-Family Training Program.

Our Managers are knowledgeable about Landlord/Tenant laws and how to work with Tenants and Owners to create the most positive situation for everyone involved. We are a very Pro-Active management company and we do our best to develop a friendly, professional working relationship with everyone involved.

We offer a full range of real estate services. We offer Commercial & Residential, Sales, Listings, and Property Management services. If you are currently a Landlord or your own rental(s) or you would like to inquire about how to purchase an investment property, please give us a call today and let us know how we can help you achieve your goals. We provide all your property management needs, including purchasing, leasing, and selling your investment(s). We can also assist you with any IRS #1031 Tax Deferred Exchange properties.

PRE-TENANCY

Advise what can be done to make your rental as appealing as possible. Statistics show that an attractive, well maintained rental has shorter vacancies and makes a strong statement about what we expect during the tenancy.
We can coordinate the cleaning and any repairs that need to be done prior to marketing the property.
Meet with prospective Tenants during the vacancy and we’ll utilize our experience to make every attempt to obtain desirable Tenants.
We’ll explain Tenant criteria and expectations to prospective Tenants and keep prospective Tenant’s informed throughout the screening process.
We utilize a professional credit and screening company that will screen prospective Tenant’s, at their expense. Screenings involve a complete credit report, judgments, criminal history, any reported evictions, current and previous Landlord reports, and verification of employment.
We explain Lease terms and Tenant obligations.
Collect deposits and keep them in our Property Management Trust Accounts according to the Landlord/Tenant Laws.

TENANCY

We acknowledge to the Tenant’s that The Excel Company, is a very Pro-Active Management company and that we will visit the property several times during their tenancy to inspect for items that require routine maintenance and repair.
We’ll do periodic observations and inspections of the property to determine that all Lease terms are being honored and to note if any repairs or maintenance needs to be done. Deferred maintenance can be costly.
We will coordinate routine maintenance and repairs to the property.
Collect rents and fees from the Tenants and disburse to Owners as authorized in the Management Agreement after any repair and maintenance bills are paid.
We’ll provide monthly and year-end statements to Owners along with an accounting for all funds for tax purposes, i.e., IRS Form #1099.
As a last resort, if Tenants do not pay the rent due or refuse to comply with their Lease obligations, actions are taken to evict said Tenant.
We will ensure all Tenant emergencies and requests for repairs are handled promptly and efficiently and we’ll comply with all Landlord/Tenant Laws.
Checklists are provided to help Tenants remember what they need to do on a regular basis to keep up the residence and how to clean efficiently upon “move-out”. If a Tenant knows how and what to clean, a Tenant can maximize the return of their Security Deposit. This also helps keep vacancy periods lower because not as many repairs and cleaning will need to be done to show the property.

POST TENANCY

Thorough inspections are made when Tenants vacate and appropriate amounts of a Tenant’s Deposit are withheld for any required cleaning, repairs, or unpaid utility bills.
Upon notice a Tenant is vacating, tentative appointments are made for general cleaning, professional carpet cleaning, and any necessary maintenance and or remodeling.
Begin advertising as soon as we receive notice Tenant will be vacating.
