What’s More Important to You?

Improving Your Monthly Cash Flows or Protecting Your Real Estate Asset?

At North Florida Real Estate & Management, We Provide Both.

Your Cash Flow
We believe a professional property management company should improve your cash flows. We will work to bring your rent to market value. We recommend increasing the monthly rent to a minimum of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) published each year. This is rate of inflation and what you can expect all goods and services to rise.

We strive to have the lowest vacancy rates possible. We do this by making your property ‘rent ready’ as quickly as possible, and by aggressively advertising your rental through every possible market channel including the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). Our average days on market before securing a paying tenant is 22 days. Every day your property sits on the market without a tenant costs money.

Protecting Your Property Asset
With the full benefit our own Maintenance Division and a well-qualified Team, we are able to keep the cost of repairs low. Because of the high volume of business we do , we oftentimes are able to purchase products, and materials at much lower cost than others.

On rare situations where we use an outside contractor (such as roofing repairs, pool repairs), all our vendors have been vetted and we have secured their insurance information as well.
