| Leasing Services Do you have, or expect to have a vacancy? AHEAD R.E inc has the resources and experience to lease your property to qualified tenants. Marketing Survey: First, rent surveys are done to ascertain competitive market rents in any particular location. Setting the right rent will attract the best, most qualified number of prospective tenants so that you can enjoy stable income and low turn-over. Advertising: AHEAD R.E markets vacancies by whatever means that have proven effective for that property, from: -
Ads in the print media (NY Times, Daily News, etc.). AHEAD has developed long-term relationships with these papers so that owners enjoy premium placement at the lowest rates. -
Ads on major search engines, online classifieds and of course, on the AHEAD Web site. Advertising on the web is a must to attract top applicants. - Most importantly, and often over-looked, eye catching signs and banners are affixed on the property itself.
Screening Process: AHEAD views tenant selection as one of our most important functions. Specially designed AHEAD applications are handed out during showing appointments to all interested prospects. Prospects can also obtain an application at our office or at this website. The ease to apply has increased the numbers of applications we receive as well as sped up the processing time. Once a completed application is received in our office, the application is screened for credit, rental and/or ownership references, and income. AHEAD R.E subsribes to reputable credit agencies and runs all applicants' credit before final lease approval is given. Lease Signing: Once accepted, the prospective tenant signs a lease which has extensive safeguards for the property owner and complies with all local and state laws. The tenant must provide a security deposit and first month's rent in certified funds before a lease is signed and the keys turned over.
Accounting: Once the new tenant has signed the lease and funds are collected, a full accounting is made and a distribution is made to you. Please call (212) 448-9955 to start the leasing process. The sooner your property is leased, the sooner you can enjoy the benefits of your investment. |
