HTW Property Management is a Cincinnati Property Management real
estate company specializing in residential property management. We know
Cincinnati properties, commercial and residential.
Our HTW Property Management team can handle:
Maintenance, Leasing, Bookkeeping, Advertising and Field Representatation. HTW Property Management is managed by an
experienced, qualified professional who holds a Master’s Degree in Community
Planning.
HTW Property Management has been
in business since 1999. We feel our
company is unique in the marketplace in 9 different areas:
1. Experience: There is not another property manager in our
marketplace that has the breadth, depth and longevity that I have had with
residential income property. I have not only managed residential income
property but commercial property as well.
2. Full Service Property Management: We may be the only true full service property
management company in the area. When we say it is "full" service we
mean just that. We handle all special circumstances that may come up on your
property and then some. Unlike most other property management companies in our
area we do not charge hourly rates for services that are deemed by the industry
as "special services." We don't deem anything as a special
service. That includes the supervision
of improvements to a newly vacated or newly purchased property to get it rent
ready, even if you are a brand new client to our company. It also includes
handling tenant issues in small claims court or appeals over a Homeowners
Association violation and/or fine.
3. Tenant Screening: We do everything that is legally possible
when screening a potential tenant. This includes doing an interior inspection
of your property 90-120 days after the tenants move in. This is done to double
check our screening process and to confirm that the tenant is living in the
clean, responsible manner we felt they would when we approved them. The
greatest concentration of effort of all of our services goes into the screening
process because we recognize that it is the most critical of all the services
that we provide.
4. Cost
Savings: We have worked very hard
over the years to find the best vendors possible at the most reasonable cost to
our clients. We currently have long term relationships with highly professional
vendors who are not only good at what they do but most importantly are
accountable for their work. An example is our relationship with our handyman
who I refer to as the best deal in town. He is a highly skilled, independent
contractor with 21 years of experience who only does work for our company, can
be at any emergency we have in 20 minutes, and charges the extremely reasonable
rate of $35 per hour.
5. Flexibility: We have a range of management fees from 5% to
10%. Each level is based on the amount of participation, if any, that the owner
wants to have in the management of their property. Please email us at HerbWalker@Mail.com for an explanation of
these different levels of service or we can fax or email you a detailed written
description of each level of service. In addition, we are also able to adjust
our management style to the specific needs and wants of every individual owner.
This can range from owners using their own preferred vendors to adding
preferred rental agreement clauses to our rental agreement and much more. We do
an extensive three page questionnaire on each and every owner/property so that
is managed in a style that fits the individual owner's wishes.
6.
Accessibility: We are organized in a
way that allows my staff to work at maximum efficiency and therefore can
provide services that other companies do not have. My staff works as a team to
make sure that all of the properties we manage are overseen so that any
problems that may arise can be addressed as quickly as possible. They excel at
communication and follow through which are cornerstones of our business. This
efficiency allows me to be available at all times so that you do not have to go
through a chain of command to get to the decision maker. Every owner has my
cell phone number and I take calls 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
7. Simplicity: Please take a look at my management agreement
before you sign any other one. You will find it to be the shortest, most
owner-friendly management agreement in the marketplace. There is even a release
clause in it that allows you to terminate our services with 30 days notice at
no cost to you. We agree on a monthly management fee, my company takes care of
everything other than those items you wish to be personally involved in and you
get your money directly deposited into your account, on time, every month.
Simple, easy and stress free.
8. Specialization: We do residential property management and
only residential property management. By being focused on only one of the
varied areas of property management, we feel it has allowed us to become
extremely efficient and competent. This results in our being able to provide
the very best of service to our clients.
9.
Philosophy: I got started in
Property Management in Cincinnati by investing in my own residential real
estate. I understand on a very personal level how important these assets are to
each owner. I know what it is like to write a check out of my own
checking/savings account because of a vacancy. I also realize that good
property management is the key to a successful investment. We at HTW Property Management
greatly value and respect the trust an owner extends to us when they ask us to
manage their property. Your property will be cared for just as if it was one of
my own properties.
Sincerely,
Herbert T. Walker III
