Sadly San Francisco Property owners and tenants alike are  increasingly suffering from break-ins and thefts. Our team is aware of this problem, and proactive in taking steps to protect our landlords from break-ins.

Garage break ins are frequent.  For these type of break ins,  the thief  will use a drilling method through the garage door to break into the garage. This works by drilling a hole in the door, passing a wire through to pull the quick release latch, then opening the garage door and allowing the trespasser access to the home.

In the video below, Eric Baird, ReLISTO’s Managing Director, shows how our team protects against this type of break-in. The first thing we make sure to do is to remove the quick-release rope. This easy step prevents this type of break-in and keeps our landlords’ properties safe. Next, we zip tie the latch, so the trespasser is unable to pull down on this with the wire. We use zip ties since they can be easily removed in case of an emergency, and they don’t prevent the door from opening and closing properly.

At ReLISTO, we pride ourselves on being proactive in protecting our landlords from break-ins and keeping their properties protected and in great condition. This is just one of the many ways we take extra steps to ensure our landlords are receiving top-notch service. Learn more about our property management, and how our agents can protect your property.

Minimizing Vacancies – The Importance of Getting Properties Back on the Market Fast for Our Landlords

The Use of Move Out Inspections

ReLISTO’s pre-move-out inspections ensure our landlords’ properties are returned to their move-in condition as soon as possible. Pre-move-out inspections are crucial for minimizing vacancy time between tenants.

Eric Baird, Managing Director, and CJ Corman, Director of Property Management discuss ReLISTO’s move-out inspections in the video below. We want to find out what we need to do to return the property to its original condition before the tenant moves out. We do this so we can turn the property around within a week and get it back on the market fast.

Some items we look for during these inspections include touch-up paint and cleaning. This is so we can get the property owner an estimate and start scheduling a crew as soon as possible. We begin repairs immediately when we gain possession of the unit.

With these inspections, our top priority is maximizing the landlords’ investment. However, this does also help tenants in ensuring they receive their full security deposit back.

Our move-out inspections are just one way that our team acts proactively for our landlords. Learn more about our full-service property management to ensure you get the best value and shortest vacancy on your property.
