Everything Your Rental Needs — Handled
We provide comprehensive, end-to-end property management so you can be a truly passive investor. Here's exactly what's included.
Tenant Screening & Placement
The most consequential decision you make as a landlord is who you put in your property. A bad tenant can cost you thousands in damages, legal fees, and lost rent. Our multi-layer screening process is designed to find tenants who are financially qualified, reliable, and respectful of your property.
We handle every stage of the leasing process — marketing, showings, application processing, screening, and lease execution — so you don't have to take a single call from a prospective renter.
- National credit check and credit score review
- Criminal background check (statewide + national)
- Eviction history search across all jurisdictions
- Employment and income verification (min. 3× monthly rent)
- Landlord reference checks from prior two residences
- FCRA-compliant adverse action notices
- Fair housing law compliance — every applicant evaluated equally
What Makes Our Screening Different
Many management companies do a basic credit check and call it good. We cross-reference three separate databases, speak directly with previous landlords, and use a scoring rubric to remove subjectivity from the decision. We've placed qualified tenants in over 200 units — our track record speaks for itself.
Average days to place a qualified tenant: 18 days
Your Money, On Time, Every Month
We disburse collected rent to your account within 5 business days of receipt. No delays, no float, no excuses. Our owner portal gives you real-time visibility into your income and expense records.
On-time disbursement rate: 98%
Rent Collection & Disbursement
Late rent is the number one frustration for self-managing landlords. We eliminate that friction with a modern online payment system, automated reminders, and firm — but professional — enforcement of your lease terms.
You'll never need to call a tenant about rent again. We handle all of it, and if a tenant falls behind, we follow Illinois law precisely to protect your rights.
- Online ACH and credit card payment portal for tenants
- Automated payment reminders sent before the due date
- Late fee assessment and collection per your lease terms
- 5-day pay-or-quit notice served when legally required
- Direct deposit to your designated bank account
- Detailed monthly income statements via owner portal
- Year-end financial summaries for your accountant or CPA
Property Maintenance & Repairs
Deferred maintenance destroys property value and tenant relationships. Our maintenance program ensures your property is kept in excellent condition year-round, with vetted contractors at competitive rates — and your full approval for any work above your agreed threshold.
Our 24/7 emergency line means tenants get help when they need it, protecting your property from minor issues becoming major damage.
- 24/7 emergency maintenance hotline for tenants
- Network of licensed, insured, and vetted contractors
- Owner approval required for non-emergency work over $250
- Move-in and move-out condition inspections with photos
- Annual preventive maintenance walkthroughs
- Transparent, itemized invoicing for all work performed
- Coordination of seasonal services (HVAC, gutters, etc.)
Response Time Matters
In Champaign-Urbana's competitive rental market — especially near campus — tenants expect responsive management. Properties with fast maintenance response get higher renewal rates and better tenant referrals.
Average maintenance response time: <48 hours

Leasing & Vacancy Marketing

We understand the Champaign-Urbana rental seasons — particularly the annual University of Illinois housing rush — and time your marketing to capture peak demand.
