Managing rental properties successfully requires time, expertise and experience. The common problem faced by the average landlord is juggling the demands of other businesses, family and community while trying to be good landlords. Experience does make the average landlord better and more prepared for the inevitable challenges, but that experience is costly. How long will you struggle to do this yourself or with a disappointing property manager before calling the experts?

Marketing is key to profitable property management. We have invested significantly to bring our clients the best marketing tools in the business. Our clients benefit from professionally edited wide-angle photographs that make their property stand out against other properties on the market. Prospective tenants easily find our listings on over 30 websites including Craigslist. Showing appointments are easily obtained since the prospective tenant can schedule their personal tour with a PA licensed leasing agent by simply filling out a short showing request on our website. Our leasing agents personally show the properties, answer questions and help prospective tenants see themselves making their home in your property.
Of all the risks in rental properties, tenant risk is the greatest but is also the risk you have the most control of. We can’t control what the market will do economically or whether the roof ages faster than you planned for, but we do control who we rent to. We take this responsibility very seriously and have developed a comprehensive tenant selection process that takes into account an applicant’s income, rental history, credit and criminal history. We are relentless with verifying the details of an application and ensuring that we make the best and most informed decisions about tenant selection for our clients’ properties. To learn more about the rental criteria we use, please see the Application Instructions page.
Our rent collection performance is second to none. We are successfully collecting rents in full from over 99% of our tenants each month. We make sure you get paid! Won’t it be nice when you can count on the arrival of the rent for a change? If a tenant does not pay rent or otherwise breaches the lease agreement, you can count on our team to take swift and decisive action on the debt, reducing the risk that it will become a bigger issue.
Maintaining your rental property is vital in providing what is required by the lease as well as protecting your investment’s value. Our maintenance department is experienced, ready and able to tackle the maintenance needs of your property from the smallest to largest of repairs. We document, perform and report all maintenance done on the property to you, so you always know what is going on. We use video move in and move out inspections to protect your investment and accurately record the condition during these transitions. When we perform an inspection of the property, a report with pictures is generated for accurate recordkeeping.
Our financial reporting is best in class, enabling you to know exactly where each dollar is used in the management of your property. You will receive a detailed report package each month that provides a comprehensive look at the overall performance of your portfolio.
Evictions are something every landlord hopes will never happen. Our disciplined management approach limits evictions significantly, but that risk isn’t entirely eliminated. In the unfortunate event that a tenant needs to be evicted from your rental, we provide an eviction protection guarantee. We will reimburse you up to one month’s rent (max $1000) AND the court costs associated with an eviction.
The city of Lock Haven is the county seat of Clinton County, in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. Located near the confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and Bald Eagle Creek, it is the principal city of the Lock Haven Micropolitan Statistical Area, itself part of the Williamsport–Lock Haven combined statistical area. At the 2010 census, Lock Haven's population was 9,772.
Built on a site long favored by pre-Columbian peoples, Lock Haven began in 1833 as a timber town and a haven for loggers, boatmen, and other travelers on the river or the West Branch Canal. Resource extraction and efficient transportation financed much of the city's growth through the end of the 19th century. In the 20th century, a light-aircraft factory, a college, and a paper mill, along with many smaller enterprises, drove the economy. Frequent floods, especially in 1972, damaged local industry and led to a high rate of unemployment in the 1980s.
