Top 10 Reasons to Choose SML
Top 10 Reasons To Let Sarasota Management & Leasing Manage Your Property:
- Tenant Results: Tenant selection is the first step in successfully
managing your property. Careful attention is paid to applicant’s
background, credit, criminal history, rental history, financial
qualifications as well as overall suitability for occupancy of your
property.
In addition, marketing your property to prospective renters requires
a balanced approach designed to blanket the marketplace so that
any prospective renter will come into contact with your property
information. We accomplish this through several means: Multiple
Listing Service, Web Site & Internet presence and Signage (where
allowed). In addition, our long standing reputation in the local Real
Estate market brings in many referrals from Realtors, past clients & tenants.
- Quality Oversight: Once a property is rented, our work has only
just started. An ongoing proactive program to make sure that your
property is maintained is essential to protecting your investment.
Drive by inspections as well as more thorough interior inspections
allow us to keep you well informed as to any maintenance needs,
and provides us with much needed information as to how well the
tenant is doing. Ask us about our “Property Condition Guarantee”
and Property Inspection Reports.
- Owner Communication: We have found that most property owners
feel better knowing that someone is on the job, and ready to
answer any questions quickly. We always have a manager in our
office who is informed about your property so that you are only
minutes away from getting any information you need.
- Professional Financial Reporting: We utilize a cutting edge,
industry specific software that is designed to give you just what you need to intelligently track the performance of your investment,
while making tax time a breeze. You can even access your
financial reports on our web site at your convenience.
- Property Maintenance: We utilize our own Handyman and
Maintenance service in order to insure prompt and professional
repairs and service to your property. They are licensed and fully
insured to protect your interests.

Association of Residential Property Managers) as well as the local & national Realtor Associations, we strive to remain on the
leading edge of education, technology and new services designed
to enhance your ownership experience.

management companies, Sarasota Management & Leasing has one
of only 2 Master Property Managers (MPM®) in Sarasota.

company in Sarasota that can boast the technological advantages
of Sarasota Management & Leasing. Our web site offers you the
option of accessing your own pages with information regarding
your property including; financial statements to give you up to
date information about your cash flow, and even pictures and
inspection reports of your property.
Tenants may also fill out maintenance requests and even pay their rent on line at any time of day or night.
- Professional Expertise: Leasing and managing your own rental
property is risky at best. There are many potential pitfalls that could end
up costing much more than the cost of professional management. At
SML, our depth of experience provides us the tools and expertise needed to avoid most problems and the skill to deal with the ones that do come up in the most efficient and economical way possible. In our
current real estate market, you want your investment preserved and protected in order to keep up with market valuations while providing income to you.
- Legal Protection: It only takes one law suit to ruin your year! Yet, owning rental property can still be one of the most fulfilling experiences you can have while reaching your financial goals. At SML we are constantly aware of the legal pitfalls that must be avoided in order to make sure that you are protected. From Mold & mildew issues to personal injury and liability and Fair Housing Laws, our primary concern every day is to find smooth sailing through these potentially dangerous areas.
