Information for Potential Owners:

Putting Your Property on the Rental Market:

The following are some of the items that need to be addressed prior to putting your property on the rental market:

The property should be clean. All personal items should be removed from the premises. If the property is furnished, please remove any special personal items or lock them securely in an owner's closet.
All appliances must be in good, working order. The drip pans on the stove should be replaced. The garbage disposal must have a cover.
The carpets need to be steamed cleaned.
All interior and exterior windows need to be washed, including the sills.
All smoke detectors must have a notarized certificate stating that the system has been checked before each new tenancy.
If gas appliances, gas fireplace, etc are present, a carbon monoxide detector needs to be present or installed.
All HVAC filters need to be changed.
All interior and exterior lights must be working.
All interior and exterior cabinets throughout the house should be clean.
The caulking in the tubs and showers and around the toilets and sinks should be checked and re-caulked if necessary.
The exterior of the property should be clean, including gutters, roof, etc.
The property must be re-keyed prior to each new tenancy.
The property owner needs to provide landscape and pool/hot tub maintenance service (if applicable).

Many of these initial checklist items will subsequently be performed when the tenants vacate the property as part of their move-out responsibilities.

Should the owner desire not to perform any of the checklist items, we will arrange for them to be performed, the cost of which will be deducted from the first month's rental income.

Are you an owner interested in renting you property short term?

As a part of ResortQuest international, we have established ourselves at the premier “brand” in the property management industry. The synergies of this affiliation are unprecedented and mark a new era in how vacations home and condominiums are marketed and managed. The primary goals of our relationship with our owners are:

To maintain the value of their real estate asset
To generate a consistent and fair return on their investment
To create a service-oriented experience that allows our owners to enjoy the exclusive benefits of vacation home and condominium ownership.

One distinguishing factor of how we do business is that all of our reservations are made on a unit specific basis. Our website is designed so that we can give people a virtual tour of the property while we are assisting them with their reservation.
