How does LeaseGR compare with other property management companies? Little things are big here—like prompt follow-up and candid communication. Truth is, we have high regard for our local competitors.

Will you recommend a lease rate for my rental property? Yes. LeaseGR knows the Grand Rapids rental market, so we’ll price your property right. Many owners are pleasantly surprised when they hear our suggested rental rate.
Can you prepare my rental property for leasing? Yes. LeaseGR can serve as your project manager. We’ll advise you what needs to be done and make sure it is. We are happy to help with this for a small fee after the completion.
How long will it take to rent my property? The more accurate the price and the better the condition, the less time it will take. LeaseGR gets hundreds of clicks and calls a day from people looking for a place to rent right now. Leasing all day every day means LeaseGR is likely to fill your vacancy faster than you could on your own.
How does LeaseGR screen prospective tenants? Our screening process includes credit reports, income verification, rental history, and criminal background checks. Thoroughness up front reduces problems down the road. You don’t want just any tenant. You want the right tenant. So do we. Our reputation is on the line with every lease.
Who decides whether to approve applicants for my rental property? LeaseGR works hard to screen and find qualified tenants for your property and will ensure they meet all criteria before considering them for approval. In doing so we also make sure to follow all guidelines provided by Fair Housing and HUD.
How do you handle maintenance on my rental property? Our maintenance staff handles most issues with the tenants and is able to get the appropriate vendor out to the property. Your tenants will have a 24-hour hotline for after-hours maintenance calls, so your rental property is always covered.
Will I get to approve maintenance beforehand? It’s up to you. Some property owners like to approve all maintenance up front. Others only want to approve jobs that exceed a certain amount. For big jobs, LeaseGR will get multiple bids and offer a recommendation.
Can I do the maintenance on my rental property? If you’re handy and have the time, you’re welcome to tackle maintenance yourself. Candidly, though, most owners who start out doing their own maintenance eventually decide to rely on us instead.
Can I use my own vendors? Yes. Just bear in mind: Because LeaseGR gives lots of business to many vendors, we often get preferential rates. Maintenance isn’t treated as a profit center here, so those preferential rates pass directly to you.
Will I get a financial statement? Yes. You’ll receive a financial report at the beginning of each month. It will detail income and expenses and include copies of any invoices. You’ll also receive a year-end summary to simplify tax preparation.
What is the fee for your property management service? Our cost to handle the entire marketing and leasing process of your property we charge 85% of one month’s rent after the tenant has moved in. Management fees monthly are 8% per home or $100 per unit for multi unit properties.
