ODS Global Real Estate Services LLC

PROPERTY ACQUISITION and SALE

We are a full service real estate company specializing in property management. We are members of Multiple Listing Service, thereby having access to local property listings. Our knowledge of the market allows us to recognize properties that may be priced below market, and we can negotiate the best deal for you. When you choose to sell, we can many times save you money on commissions, and if we sell to the tenant, we offer a reduced commission, plus the added benefit of your collecting the rent income up to the day of closing – no down time. We also, at times, look for creative options to offer properties for Lease/Purchase and Lease/Option for those clients that want to liquidate their property, but can’t afford to have it sit on the market for months with no income.

Property Management Services

Thank you for considering our property management services. Our company provides full service real estate management and sales. We assist you in making your investment profitable. We will handle marketing, screening, leasing, repairs and any emergencies related to your property. We comply with and meet all of the State and Federal Laws regarding sales, leasing and management, including Fair Housing laws.

OUR CONSULTATION/PROPERTY EVALUATION IS FREE

We will perform an evaluation assessment of your property to make recommendations to you of the market rental amount. We will meet with you at the property, or if you are unavailable, we will go to the property on our own and do a free evaluation of your property and make recommendations for the market rental amount. As part of our management process, we will make repair and upgrade recommendations as needed to bring your property up to a level necessary to maximize your return.

MARKETING

Signs will be placed at the property and we will maintain a current list of available properties in our office for pick-up, fax or e-mail to interested parties. Our properties are listed in MLS, as well as on the internet on available rental sites. We will work with other agents that are looking for properties and pay a referral fee to local agents who provide qualified applicants to us.

TENANT SCREENING

We will do our due diligence in providing service to you by interviewing and pre-qualifying prospects before we show them the home. We do a credit report check; to look for collections, judgments, slow credit and bankruptcies and other issues. We verify previous rental addresses and employment history. We will discuss all applicants with you, making recommendations for you to make the final decision, if approved; we will sign the lease, take the equivalent of a full month’s rent as security deposit and set up a move-in inspection date.

LEASING

We also offer a “leasing only” service. We will locate a tenant, show the property, conduct the tenant screening and prepare the lease in your name. We will then provide to you the Tenant’s information and application, the security deposit, along with move-in and move-out inspection forms, and a lead based paint disclosure form if required. At that time, you will take over and complete the transaction with the Tenant. Our charge for this service is 100%. There is no upfront charge. We cannot turn over the credit report to you, but will discuss it with you in general terms.

MAINTENANCE

We know what the cost of repairs should be, we use reasonably priced personnel and we receive volume discounts from our regular contractors. We try to avoid costly repairs by doing preventative maintenance. Any repairs for damage caused by the tenant will be charged to the tenant. In most instances, tenants are responsible for grass cutting and minor maintenance. Our maintenance services are not marked up costing you additional money. We send you the original invoice for your records. We handle emergencies day or night.

OTHER SERVICES

We send you a year-end accounting statement that will simplify your tax preparation. We handle late rent payments, bounced checks, tenant skips, evictions, court appearances, credit bureau reporting, move-in & out inspections, and utility switching at no extra charge. We send you computerized monthly statements along with your rental proceeds by the 15th of the month. We also offer electronically processed fund transfers to your financial institution.
