Of course, as the most recognized local rental company in the area, we are always the first name on people’s lips and we generate a lot of our leads just from word of mouth.

Generating the leads is only the 1st step.

At Gulf Coast, we employee 3 full time leasing agents with the only responsibility of filling vacancies. Unburdened by the day to day duties of a property management, the leasing team is available to show properties from morning until the evening, 7 days a week. The leasing agents at Gulf Coast are available when prospects want to view properties, not just 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.

Our aim is to find a quality tenant as quickly as possible, but this does not mean we will cut corners in our background checks. Some prospects object to how thorough we are and consider our requests an overreach. Our response is uncompromising, as it is our job to ensure that we find the right fit for your property.

If a lease renewal is agreed with your tenant, we will perform a renewal inspection prior to executing the new lease being signed. Using the original move-in inspection as the baseline condition, we consider how the tenant is looking after your property and whether a new lease should be signed.

Understanding that the landlord has effective oversight in place will encourage the tenant to stick to the terms of their lease and look after your property. For your convenience, all inspection reports, including photos and comments are stored in your Owner Portal. You have access to this information 24/7, 365 days a year.

At Gulf Coast, we have created oversight that addresses necessary repairs. Tenants can submit work orders online and/or call our 24/7 call center. Many of the repairs requests that we receive are either simple fixes, or user errors that can be fixed remotely. Rather than immediate dispatch, our skilled maintenance staff attempt to troubleshoot the problem without expense being incurred. As a landlord within the Gulf Coast network, you will have exclusive access to our in-house maintenance services. In addition to extremely competitive rates, we demonstrate value in other ways, too; Gulf Coast technicians assess repairs from an owner’s budgetary perspective, while considering all options before incurring unnecessary expenses. In addition, before applying the charge to your ledger, we consider if the repair was due to damage or neglect on the part of the tenant. Vendors are often reluctant to make this determination.

By employing in-house maintenance, we can turn properties quickly and reduce expensive vacancies. In contrast, coordinating multiple vendors can be challenging, expensive, and frustrating. Our maintenance team is insured, licensed, and EPA certified. We also guarantee our work. We also understand you may have your own maintenance preferences, including warranties, and we can certainly customize a maintenance solution that works for you.

Rent collection is likely the number one thought when people think of property management but there is so much more.

We utilize powerful accounting and reporting tools to provide you with the information you need in real time. You can check your balance, review maintenance expenses, and check on rent payments at any time using your Owner Portal.

Leveraging our partnership with Experian and Rent Bureau, we report your tenant’s on-time rent payments to the credit bureau every month. We promote this initiative widely so that we attract great tenants and discourage prospects who would think twice about paying their rent on time.
