Some of the reasons real estate investors trust First Lock with their rental investments.
Property Inspections
We perform periodic exterior property inspections and at least one annual full interior inspection with documented checklists and photos.
Contract Benefits
Long-term contracts are scary, so we have created the only month-to-month management agreement in Pennsylvania with no termination fees or penalties — because we believe we should earn your business every day.
Tenant Placement Benefits
If we place a tenant and they break their lease during the first 12 months, we will find a new tenant at no cost to you.
Rent Deposit Benefits
Tenant rent is ACH deposited into your bank account each month.
Management Fee Benefits
We believe that if we cannot collect the rent, then we should not get paid. You only pay us a management fee if we successfully collect the rent due.
Leasing Fee Benefits
You do not pay us a leasing fee until we have a signed lease and money paid from the tenant.
One Contact & Response Time Benefits
Our owner-clients have one direct point of contact — your Executive Property Manager — and we return all communication within 24 business hours.
Vendor Network
We are available 24/7 to protect your property around the clock. We have protocols to ensure cost control and we prescreen all of our vendors.
Legal Compliance Benefits
Our lease agreement is reviewed, and we operate in full compliance with fair housing, habitability, application screening, and right-to-cure laws.
Preferred Rates
As an owner-client you enjoy reduced fees whenever you buy and sell properties with us.
24/7 Online Reports
We provide you with secure online access to monthly statements, inspection reports, invoice copies, tax reports, and rental history with a click of a mouse.
Premier Applicant Screening
Advanced background search technology plus custom in-house applicant screening ensures only highly qualified applicants are approved to rent our properties.
Trust
Our business is serving investors and renters with honest, relationship-based service.
Giving Back
For every lease we sign, we set aside a contribution that is used to help responsible residents pay their rent during unexpected financial emergencies.
Repair Surveys
To ensure all repairs are done properly, we follow up with each tenant after the job is complete to be sure everything is correct.
