Some of the owners we work with like to hear from us on a regular basis and others prefer to only be bothered for major issues. We’ll discuss communication expectations and needs before we begin working together, and you’ll always be able to view statements and reports through your online portal. We are accessible and responsive to our owners and our tenants.

We conduct routine and thorough inspections before a tenant moves in and after that tenant moves out, documenting the condition of the property. Throughout the tenancy, we respond to routine and emergency maintenance requests with a team of qualified vendors who are committed to preserving the condition of your property.

We screen for tenants who we’re sure will pay rent on time, ensuring you get your money on time every month. We have a clear and consistent rent collection policy which includes penalties for late payments. With our online payment capabilities, tenants can pay rent electronically, which cuts down on late and missing payments.

Our marketing strategies involve a lot of online advertising and follow-up with prospective tenants. We manage showings, answer questions, and facilitate the application process. Applications are screened consistently and thoroughly. We look at credit and criminal backgrounds, check for past evictions, verify income and employment, and talk to former landlords.

The idea behind selling your home yourself is that you save the approximate 6%, that would be the Agents’ commission. 6% may not sound like a lot, but it can add up, especially on more expensive homes. But before you run off and decide to sell your home on your own, you must remember that to get a savings like that, there must be a cost. Did you know that most For Sale by Owners price their property too low? Let us help you establish the value of your home at no charge.

Attracting a buyer to the table starts with bringing them to the property, and that’s why we use a mix of both online and offline marketing strategies. While some Realtors® may rely on a one-size-fits-all approach, we know that buyers come from a variety of sources.

To truly stand out and be effective, property marketing needs to reach as many of these sources as possible. That’s why Trident Real Estate goes far beyond traditional methods like MLS listings, open houses, yard signs, and basic home flyers. We employ a range of innovative marketing tools that work together to generate more interest, engage more buyers, and ultimately lead to faster closings.

Only about 10% of sellers that decide to sell their home on their own are successful at it. And, not all of them end up saving themselves money. For Sale by Owner’s (FSBO’s) often end up accepting a lower price for their home than they would with an agent. Allow Trident Real Estate the opportunity to put our skills to work for you. We can get your home sold faster and at a higher dollar amount.

A professional home inspection protects both you and the buyer. It allows both you and the buyer the opportunity to learn about the property’s defects. As a seller, the home inspection reports protect you because it establishes the actual condition of the property at the time of sale.

If you want buyers to be interested in your home, you need to show it in its best light. A good first impression can influence a buyer both emotionally and visually, thus prompting them to make an offer. In addition, what the buyer first sees is what they think of when they consider the asking price. A bad first impression can dissuade a potential buyer.

Don’t show your property until it’s all fixed up. You do not want to give buyers the chance to use the negative first impression they have as means of negotiation. Ask around for the opinions others have of your home. What you need are objective opinions, and it’s sometimes hard to separate the personal and emotional ties you have for the home from the property itself.
