To ensure streamlined and efficient day-to-day property management and to provide clients with detailed knowledge of their investments, we utilize an AppFolio property management system. This system allows us to view a detailed snapshot of your real estate investment’s management and accounting. Our objective is to work efficiently, deliver superior services, cut costs, and show you how to maximize your investments.

As an integral part of our property management services we will provide you with monthly (or even more frequent) detailed reports of your investments. Our bonded and insured bookkeeper handles all income deposits and pays all expenses with computer-generated checks that require two (2) signatures. Blank computer checks are kept in a safe that only the bookkeeper has access to.

As your property manager we ensure that any vacancies are prepared for rental, then advertised and effectively marketed. We show vacant units to potential new tenants, and process written applications. We then obtain credit reports and verify tenant income and employment.

We will then prepare commercial, residential, and other appropriate lease contracts for signatures and collect deposits and advance rent(s).

Before a tenant takes possession, we, along with the tenant, perform a move- in inspection. A written inspection checklist is provided and signed by the tenant. This ensures that when a tenant moves out, any deficiencies are duly noted and the cost of such repair(s) are charged to the tenant’s account and / or deducted from security deposits.

When you engage Paul Langley Company as your property manager your investments will be continuously visited and monitored. We are ready to discuss other details and answer your questions before we begin.
