Why should I use Lisa, a Paddington Stone Real Estate Professional to rent my property?

Whether you own a 500 unit apartment complex, a single condo or co-op unit, or a single family investment home, I can help. We have worked with many investors. Our track record is second to none. We know what is needed to minimize your vacancy and maximize your investment return. Time is money. A vacant investment property will kill your return and could put you in the red. You need your property rented by quality tenants quickly. That’s where We come in.

This is what I provide:

I WILL ACT AS YOUR REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT CONSULTANT

Professional Consultation

We will meet with you on location or over the phone to discuss your property in relation to the current rental market.

Professional market evaluation

I will provide you with a full color 10 page market evaluation to determine the optimal market rent for your property. Your investment property may merit a higher lease price than you think! It is our duty to let you know what you can do to increase your property's appeal to potential tenants.

Photographing Your Rental at it's Best

Following your consultation, and after making suggested changes, I will set your rental apart from the rest by photographing and highlighting your property's best features.

MARKETING - Maximized Exposure

Not only, will I expose your rental property to all of our agents, who already have well qualified applicants waiting, but we will also design and bombard the internet with your property’s advertisement. Your property will be on the market 24/7 until it is occupied. According the NAR, over 80% of prospective tenants start their search on the internet. That is a fact.

Internet Marketing

With our internet marketing package your rental property will get the maximum exposure. List with me and we will advertise your home on the following national, regional and local websites.

Your property's inclusion in the Westchester/Putnam Multiple Listing Service

Most co-broke agents begin their search for their rental clients here. By publishing your property into this database, I will give your property exposure to every single brokerage in Westchester and Putnam Counties. Our membership with the Westchester County Board of Realtors allows us to provide your property with MAXIMUM EXPOSURE by promoting your property to every single Realtor (thousands) in Westchester regardless of the office affiliation. To provide incentive to these agents to show and push your rental property we will offer half of our fee to any agent that may bring a ready, willing, and able tenant.

Pre-qualification of All Potential Tenants

• I answer all calls from potential tenants in a timely manner. (I get the calls you may miss due to work or other obligations).
• I will rigorously pre-screen potential tenants. You can view our tenant application by clicking the link below: http://paddingtonstone.com/images/Lease.pdf
• I perform credit and criminal sex offender checks on potential tenant(s).
• I verify previous landlord references
• I verify current employment/salary
• I personally give them a tour of your property and the area. I am extremely knowledgeable on the area and I won't only sell them on your property but the town as well! (You will not have to take valuable time out of your schedule to constantly meet people that may not even be qualified or seriously interested).

Profession Document Preparation and execution

Professional preparation of your leases

• Having your leases prepared by a professional with your best interests in mind leads to your increased protection. Remember: leases are legally binding documents which are enforceable immediately upon laying pen to paper, and the only legally binding form is an ink original. There are legal Riders which can be added which give you additional protections that save you money and headaches.  I will add our Exclusive Paddington Stone Lease Ryder which provides additional necessary legal protections for you, the landlord.
• I will provide you with and prepare the standard lease document.
• I advise tenants to obtain certified checks for the security and the first month's rent.
• I will deliver to you the completed package including the signed original leases (did you know that only an original ink copy is legally binding) along with the certified checks for first month’s rent and agreed upon security.
• You will also receive a fully executed copy of the lead paint disclosure (you, as a landlord, are required to have this by law) if property was built prior to 1978.

In short you will have an experienced Paddington Stone Realty professional dedicated to your best interests every step of the way. If you have an investment property you owe it to yourself to contact us today. I'm here to help and well qualified to do so!
