Advertising:

 

Effective advertising makes the difference!  Ambassador Property Management is aggressive when it comes to advertising efforts.  We may take advantage of many different free advertising, but have other avenues of many type available for competitive costs.  Our Realtors list our properties on the Austin MLS.  The Austin MLS system reaches about 8000 Realtors in 5 counties.  Our properties are advertised on the web on AustinHomeSearch.com, Realtor.com, Trulio.com and many many more.  Realtor.com is the top site where about 85% of tenants & buyers go first when looking for a home.  Many of our inquiries simply come from our yard signs, word of mouth recommendations, and our solid network of selected Realtor affiliates. 

 

Application Processing: 

 

Ambassador Property Management uses the services of all available licensed Realtors.   If you do not have a Realtor we work with the most experienced and knowledgeable Realtors around.  We work among the best Brokerages in the business.  All Applicants completed the Texas Association of Realtors® Residential Lease Application.   

 

A credit report alone is not enough.  Evictions may not be on a credit report, and criminal records certainly are not.   You need the complete package.  An eviction could cost up to $3,000 and can take months in lost revenue.  Not to mention the time and hassle involved.  We process and verify each applicant carefully in order to help prevent these disappointments.

Qualifying Properties:

 

We inspect all properties prior to an agreement between Ambassador Property Management and the investor.  We will notify you of any needed improvement and encourage you to trust us with the arrangements.

 

Exterior Conditions:

 

We prefer that the structure be sound and the roof and gutters be in satisfactory condition.  All windows and doors should be in condition, without cracks, and with functioning door components and locks.  All locks must be re-keyed between tenants!  All exterior lights are to be in working condition as burned out bulbs are to be replaced.  Trees are encouraged to be maintained in order to attract prospects and prevent damage to the structure.  Ambassador has yard maintenance personnel on our vendor list to help maintain the lawn, watering, trimming of shrubs, etc while your property is vacant so you don’t have to.   

 

Interior Conditions: 

 

We will recommend any heating system defects to be performed.  We require that any building codes or maintainence needed in order to see that systems are operational be performed.  Any wiring defects are to be repaired in order to prevent injury.  The plumbing systems should be free of leaks.  Any appliances are to be in working order and subject to inspection. 

 

We would like to assure the safety of tenants by encouraging operational smoke detectors be equipped in every property.  Current property code requires smoke detectors in each room.   

 

All in all the property should be clean and ready for presentation.  We can arrange cleaning up procedures prior to rental and between any tenants.  Chances are if we do our job well there will be minimal turn overs and properly maintained properties resulting in less money out of pocket from the investor. 

 

Maintenance Requests: 

 

We see to it when we receive a request we take every opportunity to see that repairs are made timely, with quality, and see that work is completed satisfactorily by post inspections and tenant satisfaction.

 

Any condition causing a threat to the health of any occupant, or a condition causing damage to the property is considered an immediate emergency.  If a repair is necessary it will be initiated immediately.  Any costly repairs will be negotiated with the investor.
