  • ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES:

    Having just one single residential rental property is like opening up and operating a new business. After you get an understanding of Virginia’s specialized Landlord-Tenant Laws you begin to tend to the tasks of opening, maintaining and reconciling multiple escrow bank accounts, trips to the bank making deposits, communication with banks, tenants and contractors to sort out their accounts when questions on payments or receipts are raised (often times it's like playing phone tag), organizing contracts, receipts and invoices for compiling when tax time comes around, determination if interest is due a tenant on their security deposit and making those calculations, and more. Just look at the time you spend running your own household then throw a tenant in the mix and you can see why many of our clients believe this administrative function is a valued part of the professional management service we provide.
