Tenant Screening
“Are You Confident in Who’s Renting Your Property?”
Many property management companies in Hawaii overlook the importance of thorough tenant screenings, which can ultimately lead to unforeseen expenses and headaches. At our Oahu property management and sales team, we prioritize securing trustworthy tenants by implementing a detailed and effective screening process to protect your investment.
Our Screening Process Includes:
In-depth credit history evaluation
Criminal background checks on a national and federal level
Verification of identity to safeguard against fraud
Review of prior rental experiences
Employment status and income verification
Risk analysis based on financial habits
Debt-to-income ratio assessment
The best part? This service comes at no extra cost to you! Applicants pay for their own application fees, and you can have as many applicants as you’d like without any additional charges. To streamline the process, applicants can complete their applications online, speeding up the entire procedure. And for your peace of mind, you can review each application with one of our leasing specialists to ensure the perfect fit for your property.
Property Maintenance
Safe & Secure Property Management
A well-maintained home not only enhances its value but is crucial for attracting the right tenants. That’s why our Oahu Property Management team has developed a proactive approach to ensuring your property stays in excellent condition.
Property Maintenance
Property upkeep goes beyond simply handling repair requests and occasional painting. At Hawaii Home Sales & Management, we believe the key to protecting and securing your investment lies in promptly addressing repairs before they escalate into bigger issues. This approach keeps your property in top shape, leads to satisfied tenants, and saves you money by preventing costly problems down the road.
Property Inspections
Regular property evaluations are essential for keeping your investment secure. While many property management companies in Hawaii skip this step, we view it as an essential part of protecting your property. These inspections help us catch potential issues early, interact with tenants about property care, and ensure that everything is up to standard. And the best part? It’s all included at no additional cost to you!
We perform evaluations at these key times:
- When we first take over management of your property
- As tenants move in
- Three months after a tenant moves in
- Nine months into the lease and once again a year after
- When tenants move out
Tenant Responsibility
Our custom lease agreement clearly outlines tenants’ responsibilities for property upkeep. Unlike most Hawaii property management companies that use generic agreements, our lease is built from years of experience and reviewed by an attorney to ensure you’re fully protected. It covers everything from avoiding false maintenance requests to requiring annual carpet cleaning and renters’ insurance. Contact us for a sample copy!
Maintenance Request Process
To help minimize your costs as a landlord, we’ve established a clear and efficient protocol for handling maintenance requests. Our goal is to save you time and money.
Here’s a brief overview of our process:
- Initial troubleshooting with the tenant
- Negotiating fair pricing
- Coordinating repairs
- Paying vendors directly
Pre-screened Vendors
Do you know who’s working on your property? We do. To provide quality service at competitive rates, all our vendors must pass a thorough screening process to be added to our preferred vendor list.
During this process, we:
- Verify their proper licensing
- Ensure they’re insured and bonded
- Confirm competitive pricing and payment terms
- Conduct one-on-one interviews
This ensures you get only the best service at the right price.
