We take the stress out of managing your investment.
When it comes to leasing your home, we know that two things matter: leasing it quickly and leasing it to the best possible tenant. HomeRiver Group® Chicago has developed a system of marketing, screening, and leasing that ensures you get a great tenant in a short period of time.
We maximize rental property marketing by using advertising methods that are proven to be effective. We customize our marketing plan to your property, the neighborhood, and the rental price. Depending on where you are and what you have, we’ll use the MLS as well as the most popular rental sites. We also publish a Leasing List that agents and Realtors see every week. Our advertisements include high quality photos and yard signage. The result is a lower vacancy period.
We’ll run criminal and credit checks on all applicants, and search for prior evictions. We talk to former landlords and verify income and employment. Good tenants lead to good landlord experiences, and that’s what we want to deliver.
Your lease is an important contract that holds your tenants accountable to caring for the property and paying rent on time. We’ll draft a lease that follows all the local, state, and federal laws. It will protect you and your property and explain clearly what’s expected of your tenants.
Tenant turnover is an expense you don’t need. Once your tenants are in place, we work hard to keep them happy and respond to their needs. Tenants can pay rent online and submit maintenance requests electronically. We make sure your tenants know they are valued and appreciated, and our relationship with them is based on respect, communication, and service. This leads to higher tenant satisfaction and a better renewal rate.
At HomeRiver Group® Chicago, you can leave the leasing to us. We know Chicago tenants, and they know they can trust us to deliver high quality service and safe, habitable homes.
