Property Management

With real estate prices remarkably affordable, investors and future retirees can purchase now and hold the property until they are able to relocate to Florida's sunny gulf coast permanently.

One question that might arise is how to oversee your property while you're hundreds of miles away.

Wagner Realty takes the responsibility of managing your property and maintaining it's value very seriously. Our promise to you, the owner, is that we will manage your West Florida property so as to ensure that your investment is well taken care of and that you have peace of mind.

Additionally, we provide you with detailed monthly accounting statements and complete itemized year-end documents. If your rental is short term seasonal, we take care of collecting, filing and paying any sales and resort taxes that may be required of the tenant.

AS A RENTAL PROPERTY OWNER, WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM US?

We follow a series of steps to manage your property in the most professional and efficient way possible to give you the greatest peace of mind. 

Step one is to evaluate your property.  That includes verifying ownership, inspecting the exterior and interior of the home, confirming the proper bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, etc.  We communicate with the Association (where applicable) to obtain pertinent documents, rules and regulations and tenant applications.  We review what services, utilities, amenities and appliances will be included in the rental agreement.  We determine the current market rate based on the comparables and condition of the property and then we review it and verify it all with you the Owner.

Step two is the marketing phase.  This is where we prepare the unit to be rented.  This includes cleaning the unit if it is necessary, either furnishing or unfurnishing it when necessary,  Then, when it is move-in ready, we take our marketing photos and enter them into the Rental section of the MLS system with the Manatee Association of REALTORS^®.  This marketing source will feed out to other sites such as Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Homefinder.com, Trulia.com and various Agent websites.

Should significant repairs be required or should you decide to renovate between tenants, we will be happy to oversee the process.

The choice is simple: you can relax, hire Wagner Realty to manage your rental property and deduct the cost of our service from your taxes. (If you were to do the work yourself, your time would not be deductible!)
