Property Management Questions
-
How long does it take to rent a home in Bedford right now?
On average, our homes lease in 14 to 30 days, depending on the property type, price point, and location. Properties that show well, are priced right, and allow pets typically move faster. We provide weekly updates during the leasing period so you're never left wondering how it's going. -
What neighborhoods are moving the fastest?
We're seeing high demand in areas like TCU/Westcliff, Near Southside, Arlington Heights, and parts of North Bedford near Alliance. Tenants are drawn to walkability, good schools, and access to downtown or major employers. But with the right strategy, we can attract strong tenants in any part of the metro. -
Do you allow pets, and how do you screen them?
Yes — in fact, properties that allow pets typically lease faster and to a broader pool of applicants. But we’re strict. We use a third-party pet screening service that checks for breed restrictions, vaccination records, and pet behavior history. We also charge pet deposits and/or pet rent to protect your property. -
What’s your eviction rate in Bedford compared to others?
We rarely have to file. Thanks to our screening process and clear expectations upfront, our eviction rate is consistently below 1% — far lower than the local average. But if it ever becomes necessary, we handle everything start to finish. -
How often will I hear from you?
As often as you want. Some owners prefer quarterly check-ins, others want monthly updates. During leasing or maintenance issues, we’re in touch more frequently. You’ll also have 24/7 access to your owner portal — but if you want to call and talk to a real person, we’re here for that too.
you’re protected with Our Pledge
30-Day Pledge
We are so confident we can find you a great tenant that if we are unable to lease your home in 30 days or less, we will give you the first 1 month of management for free!
Eviction
Our tenant screening procedures are so thorough that, if at any time we must evict your tenant, we will cover the filing costs for all court appearances and find a new tenant at no cost to you. See Management Plans for details.
Pet Pledge
Our Full Management Plus plan covers up to $3000 in pet damages, caused by any pet we've approved and screened through PetScreening.com (beyond the security deposit), excluding human-related damages and while reserving the right to pursue tenant neglect. See Management Plans for Details.
Happiness Pledge
We want you to be happy! If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with our services, you can cancel your management agreement at any time and without penalty.
Results Pledge
We don’t collect a dime until you get paid! You can rest easy knowing that we are working hard to find the best tenant for your investment and you will not pay us until you get results.
