Why Landlords Choose Us

At Mitchell Realty, our primary goal is for our clients to 'Experience Excellence!'

Your rental property is a very valuable asset. Entrust the management of that asset to an organization that offers you peace of mind. Our job is to keep the rental properties of our clients running smoothly and efficiently. Not only do we make your life easier and your properties more profitable; we also work hard to make your tenants happy by being available 24 hours a day. 

As one of the top rental management companies in Gainesville, we are confident that we can help keep your units filled and your properties in excellent shape.

 

We don’t get paid unless you get paid!

All of our fees are "performance based". If we don't collect any rent, you don't pay the management fee. The power of the internet has made it possible to reduce our management fees to as little as 10% and still offer you very personalized service. 

 

It’s easy to reach us!

Our office hours are 8 AM to 5 PM Monday thru Friday. While we are closed Saturday and Sunday, we have a manager on call to handle any after hour's emergencies evenings and weekends. 

 

We screen tenants for you!

Once we have an applicant, we will perform a detailed background check. We’ll check their credit, look for a history of evictions, verify their landlord history, verify their current employment/source of income, and confirm they are not registered sex offenders. 

 

View your statements online!

We provide detailed monthly statements showing your income and expenses. You can be paid by check or direct deposit. You can receive your statements by email or by U.S. Post. You can also set your property's repair limit.We even offer you the option to establish a login so you can login to the Owner Portal and view your statements, lease documents, or invoices whenever you want.

 

Home maintenance made easy!        

Your property manager will coordinate maintenance issues with you. Then our central office will follow up with the vendor and the tenant to make sure the job gets done promptly. But you won't be bothered with late night or weekend emergencies. We handle those calls for you.

*Note with Lease Only service, you would pay for any direct advertising costs that relate specifically to your property.

 

Manage Only

Already have a tenant?

 

Manage Only means that you will take care of all of the "Lease Only" tasks, or the property is already rented, and you want us to start collecting the rent, coordinating repairs, and all of the other tasks associated with managing the tenancy.  We will not be paid a procurement fee.  We will just collect our management fee based on the amount of income we collect for you.

 

Looking for full service Leasing & Management

Well look no further!

Full Service Leasing and Management includes all of the services described in the "Lease Only" list, along with the following benefits and options:

 

Affordable "Performance Based" Fee Structure 

We offer different fee structures from which you can choose with management fees as low as 10%.  Our fees are based on performance. If you are not getting paid then we are not getting paid either.

 

Direct Deposit/Automatic Debiting 

At your option we can send your net rental income by check or "direct deposit" it into your bank account. Tenant's can also make payments electronically and automatically.

 

Professional Property Managers 

We want to make the "management" experience painless. Your property manager is your personal service representative to coordinate all of the information about your property. These experienced professionals make recommendations to you on how to best handle any situation that develops. While the manager's job often requires them to be out of the office, each manager’s phone number will forward calls to their cell phones.  Plus the managers are backed up by the administrative support staff in our central office.  If you have a question related to your property, whether related to bookkeeping, maintenance, leasing, or anything else, just contact your property manager, or their assistant, and they will take care of it.

 

Detailed background checks on Applicants 

We get a copy of their credit report with their credit scores, we check for eviction filings against the applicant, we verify their landlord and employment references, and confirm that they are not listed as a registered sex offender.  

 

Available 24 Hours to handle emergencies 

Mitchell Realty's property managers and maintenance contractors are on an "on-call" rotation to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day.

 

Full Service Office open Monday - Friday 

Our office is staffed from 8 AM to 5 PM Monday thru Friday which makes it easy for you or your tenant to reach a live person for assistance.  Plus many tasks and requests can be handled thru our web site and by email both of which are available 24/7.

 

Detailed Monthly Reporting & Annual Summaries 

We provide a detailed accounting of all income and expenses monthly. We also provide a year end summary with your Form 1099 to help with your tax return. We can print and mail your statements or we can email it to you, at your option.

 

Maintenance 

We maintain relationships with several contractors that provide us with priority handling and often charge us at discounted rates due to the amount of business we represent. This enables us to get repair work done more quickly from vendors that will stand behind their work.
