Marketing Your Rental Property

Most companies will collect rent and coordinate repairs. We go further by treating your property like a long-term investment, not just a monthly transaction. As a licensed New York State real estate brokerage, we combine local market expertise with professional systems for leasing, maintenance, accounting, reporting, and compliance.

Owners get 24/7 online portal access, detailed financial and performance reports, proactive communication, and a focus on protecting both your asset and your time. Our goal is to improve your returns while removing as much stress as possible from owning rental property in the Capital Region.

Our screening process is designed to minimize risk while staying fully compliant with New York and federal fair housing laws. We review credit history, criminal background where permitted, rental history, income verification, and employment, and we cross-check all information for accuracy.

We look for residents who demonstrate a pattern of paying on time, taking care of previous homes, and communicating responsibly. Strong screening is one of the most important ways we protect your property, your cash flow, and your peace of mind.

You’ll hear from us regularly when it matters, and you’ll always be able to see what’s happening through your online owner portal. We reach out for important updates such as new applications, lease approvals, major maintenance items, lease renewals, or rent delinquency issues.

At the same time, our systems are designed so you don’t have to be involved in every minor detail. Most owners tell us they love that they always know where things stand, without feeling like they’re managing the manager.

We perform a comparative market analysis using current listings, recently rented homes, and neighborhood trends in places like Saratoga Springs, Albany, Clifton Park, and surrounding areas. We factor in property condition, amenities, school district, pet policies, and time of year.

Our goal is to position your property at the “sweet spot” where it attracts qualified residents quickly while still maximizing your monthly cash flow and long-term return. Pricing is not a one-time decision—we continually watch the market and adjust as needed at renewal time.

We use trusted, vetted vendors who are familiar with our standards and the types of properties we manage across the Capital Region. Residents can submit requests 24/7, and we triage each issue based on urgency, safety, and potential for further damage.

Routine and minor repairs are handled quickly within an agreed-upon dollar limit set with you during onboarding. Anything above that threshold requires your approval, except in true emergencies where immediate action is required to protect your property or comply with the law. All work orders and invoices are visible in your owner portal for full transparency.

Our lease and move-in inspection process are designed to protect you if something goes wrong. We document the condition of the property carefully at move-in with notes and photos, and we hold the resident accountable to return the home in comparable condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

If there is damage beyond normal wear or a lease break, we follow New York State law to apply the security deposit appropriately, pursue additional funds if warranted, and restore the property quickly so it can be re-rented. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and help you understand what is and isn’t recoverable under current law.

No. One of the biggest trust-breakers in property management is surprise fees, so we lay out all costs clearly in our Property Management Agreement before you ever sign. Our pricing is straightforward, and we do not mark up maintenance invoices from third-party vendors.

You’ll always know exactly what you’re paying for, and you can see every charge, credit, and disbursement inside your owner portal. If you ever have questions about a fee or invoice, our team is happy to walk you through it line by line.

Yes. Because we are both a property management company and a full-service real estate brokerage, we can give you an honest, numbers-based comparison of renting versus selling in today’s market. We can walk through your projected rent, expenses, mortgage details, and appreciation, and compare that to what you might net if you sold.

Our Rent vs. Sell calculator and local market knowledge help you see the long-term impact of each option on your overall wealth so you can make a confident decision that fits your goals.

Absolutely. Many of our clients live outside New York or are just getting started with their first rental property. Our systems are built so you can manage everything remotely — from e-signing the management agreement and leases, to reviewing inspection photos, to seeing every report and invoice online.

We act as your local eyes, ears, and boots on the ground in Saratoga Springs and the greater Capital Region, making sure your property is cared for and your residents are supported, without requiring you to be nearby or highly experienced.

New York landlord–tenant law is complex and changes over time. As a licensed brokerage and professional management company, we stay up to date on state and local requirements around leases, disclosures, habitability, notice periods, security deposits, fair housing, and more.

We use compliant lease forms, follow required timelines for notices and deposit handling, and maintain proper documentation so that if there is ever a dispute, you are in the best possible position. Our job is to help you enjoy the benefits of owning rental property while reducing your legal and regulatory risk as much as possible.
