We do everything required to maintain the property and provide you with the greatest return on your investment including, but not limited to:

  • Inventory and condition reports

Periodic property inspections 

Kitchen furniture and basic appliances as hot plate, oven, exhaust fan, washing machine would be absolutely necessary. Moreover, the installation of the lamps and at least curtain rails is also something that you cannot miss. Sometimes tenants might have some special requests – those would be discussed and evaluated separately. Besides these it might happen that you would like to include some more installations in order to make the rental easier or to increase the value of the property. In these cases you will always be able to count on our sales agents professional help.

Your property will immediately be put on our list of available properties in our office. It is impossible to say exactly how long it will take to find qualified tenants for your property. Our average time to lease your home on the rental market varies depending on market conditions. A number of factors are involved: the size and location of the property, the overall condition of the property, the asking price relative to that of comparable properties in your neighborhood, and the time of the year. However, the market time for renting is generally much shorter than the time required to sell the same property, and landlords can usually expect to have tenants within 30 to 60 days. If a property does not rent within this length of time, it is generally a sign that it is overpriced relative to its size and condition. We begin marketing your rental home the moment it becomes ready to be rented, or as soon as the actual residents give us their notice of their intent to move out. We receive hundreds of calls from prospective tenants each month.

This is the most important aspect of the successful management of a rental property. Application processing is typically done by us in-house. In general, we look at an applicant's past behavior and assume their future behavior will be the same. An applicant must demonstrate a history of being a good, responsible tenant or homeowner as well as meeting industry standard financial criteria.

All prospective tenants are required to submit a written application and are screened to determine their eligibility based on the following factors: previous rental or mortgage history, length of employment and income in relation to monthly rent certificate from their employee, and other factors, such as number of occupants in relation to size of the property, size and age of pets. From every tenant we ask for certificates from their employees, income certificates correctly paid utility invoices or in case this cannot be issued, we require a warrantor person. We are required to comply with all state fair housing laws which make it illegal to discriminate in the sale or rental of property based on any of the following protected classes: race, color, religion, national origin, sex, handicap, familial status, or elderliness.

In addition to the normal financial qualifications, we always try to accommodate the housing needs of our tenants to ensure the home they rent is convenient to their work, shopping and desired school district. This will help to ensure that they will remain happy residents and remain longer in your rental property.

We strive to provide you with the caliber of residents that you want in your rental property.

We are asked this question more than any other by new owner prospects. Of course it depends on a lot of factors, but in general, most apartments in Budapest are currently rented for about 4 to 7% annual return of the property's market sales value.

The most important thing to know is that the rental market is indifferent to your mortgage payment amount. The rental market does not care that you might have a negative cash flow, and will punish with extended vacancy periods those owners who overprice their rental homes. When you hire us, we will look at the rental market in your particular area, survey the competing homes, and make sure your home is priced so that it will be viewed favorably against the competition.

The great majority of perspective tenants now use the web to find a rental home. We receive hundreds of hits per month, so our top search engine placement gives our owners an overwhelming advantage for having their rental properties “found” by thousands of prospective tenants. That translates into less vacancy cost and a better opportunity to select a qualified tenant.

Also, we have a sizeable leasing staff that allows us to be open for business 7 days a week. We rent our apartments while our competitors are taking the weekend off.

Additionally, we have an extensive referral network with other realtors. Our web site has inbound links from other real estate companies.
