A FEW SUCCESS STORIES
Palmer Ranch Investment Property – Refreshed & Listed in One Week
The owner of this single family home in Palmer Ranch was pressed to get back home, but wanted to know his $375,000 investment was left in good hands. After reviewing our work experience and testimonials, the owner contracted Lindsay Leasing to prep, lease and manage his rental property. We visited the property and reviewed [...]
Southgate Remodel Prepped & Leased
The owners were closing on this recently purchased Southgate remodel. Because they were out of town, we obtained the keys at closing, previewed the property, and facilitated the upgrades needed to make the property rental-ready. The house was beautifully remodeled from the floors on up. The investor/builder who remodeled the house left the window [...]
Long-Term Client Property in Need of Upgrades & Maintenance
For seven years, we represented this well-maintained single family home in a deed restricted community. The last tenants vacated early so the owner decided to improve the property in preparation for future tenants and the owner's eventual occupancy. We set about working with the owner to identify maintenance and upgrades. We replaced carpeting, painted throughout, [...]
South Sarasota Condo Makeover
A repeat client of ours purchased a condo located in a community where buildings were undergoing a complete exterior renovation. All buildings received new roofs, windows, and siding. The community was looking as good as it did when it was first constructed. Our client owned a existing unit in this community and decided to purchase [...]
Switching Management Companies
Sometimes, despite the research you perform or the recommendations you receive, relationships don't work out. It could be a personality conflict, missed expectations, or inflexibility (on both parties account). If you find yourself in this situation, then it may be time to find a new manager. Take note of what's working and what's not. Your [...]
Pruning Trees and Palms
Keeping trees trimmed is an on-going maintenance chore. Without regular trimming and thinning Live Oak trees can grow into the street and driveway becoming an obstacle for tall vehicles. A arborist can provide advice and services to help manage large trees like this Live Oak. Palms should generally be trimmed [...]
Ringling Museum Area – Villa Update
The owner of this spacious 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom villa retained Lindsay Leasing to lease and manage the property after the existing tenants vacated. Upon our initial property inspection, we noted the unit's condition including paint, flooring, window treatments, and other details. The property was in need of a new paint job, flooring, and a [...]
Rivendell Landscaping Update
General gardening is not usually performed by regular vendors servicing a property. So when the landscaping needs sprucing up, we get involved to evaluate the situation and make recommendations. This Rivendell home had a few landscaping challenges. There was a large agave cactus in the center of the flower bed--a real menace. We had it, [...]
Turtle Rock Makeover
This single family home in Turtle Rock was in need of some "TLC" after being occupied for nearly five years by two different families. As property managers, we helped the owner identify upgrades and needed repairs. We recommended vendors, procured job materials, and oversaw all work performed. Paint, flooring, plumbing and pool cage screening were [...]
Phillippe Shores – Remodel
This Phillippe Shores single family home was purchased and remodeled by a military family for short term rental income and as a home to reside in upon retirement. After purchasing the home, the owners extensively remodeled the property to bring dated bathrooms, flooring and back yard pool up to today's standards. We consulted on what [...]

OUR PROVEN PROCESS, PRODUCES RESULTS
1. GAME PLAN
Understanding your needs enables us to map out a game plan. Every owner has their own reasons for owning a rental property and it is our job to learn yours. Only then can we make recommendations.
2. THE SEARCH
Once we settle on rental rates and other factors, we begin the tenant search. Our goal is to find, qualify and contract tenant(s) within 14 days. Not only is it our goal it's our average time on market.
3. TENANT RELATIONS
After moving-in the tenants, our focus shifts to collecting rent and managing lease terms and conditions. We take a pro-active approach to prevent issues, minimize surprises, and manage problems.
4. REPAIRS AND MAINTENANCE
We manage property issues mornings, evenings or weekends. We resolve or qualify the issue before dispatching a vendor who's job is to diagnose and repair. We keep you in the loop along the way.
5. ONLINE RECORDS
We maintain copies of all vendor invoices, other property related documents, inspection videos and photos. Each period, we produce an updated P&L statement. Everything is in the cloud 24x7.
