Using a professional company and licensed property manager to care for your rental offers numerous benefits.  A property management company can save time, money, and stress, particularly for owners who may not be local.  Advantages of utilizing Home on the Range to oversee your investment include:

• We act on behalf of the property owner as their legal representative, communicating directly with prospects and residents on every phone call, email and other written correspondence.  This eliminates contact between owners and tenants regarding questions, complaints or requests for maintenance repairs (especially those that may involve additional work contracting 3rd party vendors).

• We are educated in Montana Landlord/Tenant Law, Federal/State Fair Housing Laws, and disclosure requirements, all ensuring legal compliance to help avoid costly lawsuits.

• Our professional conduct is held to the high standards of the Montana Property Management Program

• We are expected to perform best practices and procedures from start to finish, including:  advertising, application/screening, enforcement of the contract terms through the duration of the lease, and a thorough property inspection upon moveout.

• We are a local company operating in Granite County, so we are close to your property even if you’re not.  We are also a licensed business in the State of Montana, carrying Liability and E&O insurance.

• Montana requires a license to manage real estate (barring a few exemptions), and continuing education in our industry is required each year for renewal so we stay up to date on new/changing laws.

• We complete market research to make comparisons and stay competitive when advertising your property to determine rental rate and achieve full occupancy.

• We manage the financial responsibilities for your property, maintaining a Trust account for deposits, rent collections and expenses.  In addition to providing profit and loss statements by tracking income and expenses, we can create annual budgets.

• We use approved forms and documents for PMA’s, applications, leases and notices, assuring we act in accordance with local, state and federal codes for rental housing.

• Our goal is to deliver excellent service by applying our knowledge, experience and education.
