Blaze Real Estate

Marketing
We list your home on major rental sites and on blazeproperty.com. While it's on the market, you get a Marketing Performance report every Monday showing days on market, inquiries, showings and applications. The report stops once a lease is signed.

Collections
Residents pay rent online through the resident portal. We enforce the lease's late-fee and collections steps firmly and respectfully. Owner distributions go out on the 15th of each month.

Showing
Lockbox homes offer self-guided tours that renters book online after verifying their ID. Our apartment communities offer staff-led tours. Our goal is to answer every inquiry within 2 hours during business hours.

Screening
We screen every applicant 18 and older. They must earn at least 3 times the rent (5 times for a guarantor), and we check credit, rental history and eviction history. Criminal history gets an individual review. On single-family homes, licensed staff make the final decision.

Signing
We prepare and sign all lease documents and collect the first month's rent and the security deposit. Before move-in, we do a move-in inspection that serves as the baseline for move-out.

Maintenance
We have our own maintenance technicians and don't mark up their time. We also work with licensed vendors and offer 24/7 emergency support. Our response targets:
- Emergencies dispatched within 2 hours
- Urgent requests handled within 24 hours
- Routine requests acknowledged within 24 hours and finished within 7 days

Repairs under $300 go ahead without your approval, and you can change that limit.

Renewal
We offer renewals 90 days before the lease ends, priced to the current market, and follow up at 60 and 30 days. Keeping good residents longer cuts the cost of turnover. We also inspect at every renewal.

Move-Outs
We process the notice and walk the resident through move-out. Then we inspect the home against the move-in record and handle the security deposit accounting.

Reporting
- Monthly: on the 16th, every owner gets an owner statement and a plain-English monthly report.
- Weekly: multifamily owners also get a weekly report for each property.
- Anytime: in the owner portal you can run reports such as the rent roll, delinquency and cash flow.
- Notices: you're notified automatically when a lease is signed, renewed or ends with a move-out.
- Year-end: you get your 1099.
