Smith Hearn Property Management Guarantees

21 Day Guarantee

At Smith Hearn we detest vacancies. We know that every day a home is vacant, our owners are losing money. That is why we want to put your mind at ease by guaranteeing that we will find the right tenant for your home within 21 days or your management fees are waived for the first month.

Our conditions for the 21 Day Guarantee are simple:

  • The home must be vacant
  • The home must be “rent ready”
  • Must accept small animals
  • Smith Hearn must set the initial rental price

Results Guarantee

You don’t pay us anything until we produce results for you. We don’t collect management fees until a renter is moved in and rent is collected. Smith Hearn does all the heavy lifting – market your home, schedule showings, screen applicants, draft the lease, and facilitate tenant move-in – all before being paid a dime.

Satisfaction Guarantee

If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with our services and want to leave us, you may cancel your property management agreement without penalty with 60 days notice.

The notice period allows for a smooth and professional transition for the tenant, wrap-up of any outstanding maintenance items and invoices, and assignment of the lease and security deposit funds properly to you so we transfer a happy tenant.

Leasing Guarantee

You should never have to pay twice for us to find a new tenant for your property. Our leasing guarantee states that we will find a new tenant for free if a tenant does not fulfill at least nine months of a twelve months lease term.

Our conditions for the Leasing Guarantee are simple:

  • We must have placed the tenants. This guarantee does not cover tenants we’ve inherited
  • The guarantee does not cover tenants who must break a lease due to military orders, military transfers, or any other legal lease cancellation.
  • The guarantee does  not cover tenants who have abided by the lease terms by paying appropriate lease-breaking fees.
