Owner Statements
Various financial (profit and loss) statements can be self-generated from our state of the art online accounting system by clicking on our secured web based LANDLORD PORTAL. We also mail out statements on the 10th day of every month, along with a statement balance. Alternatively, we can directly deposit statement balances into your bank account.

Competitive Rates
Our management fees are extremely affordable in the industry. You will never see a charge on our monthly statements that you don't understand and that we cannot justify. Our management contracts are extremely clear and straightforward and our in-house repairs and maintenance team charges very reasonable rates. For large maintenance issues, we obtain several bids from independent contractors to ensure you receive the best rate.

Latest Technology
We have a state of the art accounting system that is web based. Landlords can log into the LANDLORD PORTAL and generate detailed profit and loss statements, while tenants can make online payments, view tenant statements, and submit maintenance requests. Furthermore, rent collections are updated daily, and all maintenance requests and other electronic correspondences are answered within a couple hours of receipt.

Rent Collections
We are extremely diligent in our rent collections, including assigning late fees and posting notices the day after rents are due. We are also very knowledgeable with the legal eviction process for delinquent tenants. Furthermore, we refer delinquent tenants to collection agencies, which includes reporting delinquent rents to credit bureaus.

Advertising Vacancies
Vacancies are aggressively marketed through multiple platforms, including electronic and print medias. We also use yard signs and banners with our direct number, and featuring links to our website, where potential tenants can view additional information and request appointments. Our field operation team is generally available for same day vacancy showings, assuming we receive the call as late as 5:00 PM.

Tenant Screening
The SMGRE team examines every applicant thoroughly, including a detailed credit and rental history check from multiple credit bureaus and an eviction search. Furthermore, we check employment using publically listed information, as well as references. We require at least two forms of identification, including a driver's license and social security card. Upon request and applicant approval, we can also check criminal backgrounds.

Maximize the Value Of Your Investment
Upon initial contract with our company, we will perform a complete a comprehensive market survey and determine the best rental rates. We continue to conduct market survey's when new vacancies arise, to ensure that we are maximizing the potential of your property. Another tremendous value is our construction and maintenance team - experience tells us what upgrades result in increased property value and which have little effect and we are more than happy to discuss this with you.
