Our goal is to provide a full service real estate investment and management firm that focuses on superior and intensive management to our clients. Our beliefs and goals are achieved through proactive and efficient maintenance, valuation and growth of property income, and combined efforts of dedicated hands on team.
We always working towards creating and finding a place to call home for customers/tenants and fostering a management firm both employees and clients can trust and consider family.
United Equity Management provides a full range of management services to investment property owner(s) to include:
For owners interested in having someone handle advertising, showings, screening, and the initial lease set up only, United Equity Management is available for this. Day-today management of their property will still be handled by the owners; however, we provide the ease of not having to look for a qualified tenant.
United Equity Management offers a thorough screening of all applicants to include background check, credit score check, income verification, and owner approval.
As a Property Owner in real estate investing the most important goal for achievement is high occupancy and low delinquency. An empty property loses money!
At United Equity Management, our goal is to achieve 100% occupancy, and zero delinquency; this is every owner’s desire and is an integral piece in all our activities and services.
United Equity Management handles all inquiries from tenants and balances unreasonable requests in contrast to keeping quality and desired tenants.
Disputes are handled by qualified and trusted employees and forms are typically put together by the Greater Capital Area Association of Realtors (GCAAR) and also regularly reviewed by a wide network of qualified legal staff to address the latest changes in the District of Columbia legislation and the rental industry.
United Equity Management aims to not have tenants on a month-to-month lease, unless requested by Owners or for specific circumstances. In achieving our goal of 100% occupancy, it is required that our team anticipate turnovers and being on top of rental market trends. Our anticipation of turnovers and filling vacancies will minimize loss in investments.
We keep track of leases expiring and through open lines of communication with both tenants and owners, develop leasing strategies and with current tenants to avoid loss of rent through vacancy. Should tenants plan to vacate, United Equity Management develops and implements a marketing plan approximately 60 days prior to lease expiration.
• Maintenance of Property
Tenant Files are maintained for 5 years post tenancy and are kept according to real estate guidelines. Management agreement includes a 30 day pay/cure action or quit notice in our standard scope of service. Should further actions towards eviction be required, owner contract with an attorney is needed. United Equity Management can coordinate with attorneys and attend hearings if necessary.
• Legal Issues
At owner’s request and consent, a budget or limit on repairs are discussed and agreed upon. On a case by case basis a reserve for maintenance may be needed; however, most of our select vendors allow payment to occur from rent reserves prior to monthly owner distribution. All expenses are tracked and copy of invoices are included in a monthly statement.
• Security Deposits and Property Keys
All managed property keys are kept in a locked box and are unlabeled with minimal access by individuals. Security deposits are maintained in an interest-bearing escrow account that is federally insured.
