What’ s Different
BETTER TENANTS, BETTER PRICE, BETTER LIFE ­ RENTVEST TIM HOUGHTEN

What’ s Different

In our interview the company spokesman explained that they are able to offer this deal, without sacrificing service thanks to a variety of efforts which streamline the management process and make it more efficient.
This is investor­centric management, operated by executives who have been real estate investors themselves. Spencer and his firm Gentry Real Estate are well known for buying and assisting other investors with acquiring foreclosure properties at trustee auctions. This perspective enables them to take the pain out of owning and managing rentals by understanding investor concerns, in tandem with the intuition needed for successful management that only comes with years of experience.
One of the firm’ s mottos is“ Better tenants, better price, better life.” Spencer explains that this begins with thorough renter screening. He says“ there are plenty of tenants out there. It just makes sense to select the best quality tenants to ensure great performance.” That means background checks to screen out those with past felonies, past evictions, low credit scores.
RentVest has also optimized communications and relationships on both sides by increasing connection and responsiveness with dedicated management reps. Dedicated managers are assigned to a certain number of properties and have a direct connection with both the tenant and owner. You get to know them by name, and can reach your direct contact by email, and phone.
