With Real Property Management Instant Equity, you have 24/7 access to photographs, inspection details, maintenance activity and comprehensive financial reports. Professional management not only means you have a small army of specialists attending to every aspect of your association, it also means you have complete, transparent access to everything that is happening with your community.

To make your community the best it can be, you need much more than drive-by “management” from a company with many associations under management and few staff. And, you need more than a small discount company that has limited resources, knowledge or experience to avoid costly mistakes and missed details. Real Property Management Instant Equity offers an affordable, comprehensive solution to help you get a better run community, without trying to “up sell” outside services to your Board or use the owner list to solicit your homeowners like the other companies do.

When you evaluate property managers to support your CIC, ask these questions: Will your property manager be as anxious to help your community hold its value as they are to take your management fee? Will they have the expertise to truly guide your Board in the operations of your community? Will they answer the phone? Are your operating and reserve accounts in good hands? Are they looking out for your legal protection? Here is what you need to look for:

Transparency. You should be able to know 24/7 what is happening with your properties—maintenance needs and overall property condition. Real Property Management Instant Equity provides on-demand online reporting on all activity and financial reports, as well as responsive support through your property manager, accounting and maintenance representatives.

Clear Terms. Your property manager should clearly explain the terms of your agreement, what is included in the management of your property and what you can expect. A professional property manager will be happy to take the time to answer all questions to your satisfaction. Real Property Management Instant Equity explains everything up front and helps you know what to expect throughout our relationship.

No Hidden Costs. All costs should be clear up front, remember do-it-yourself and discount property management services can cost you in the long run with costly mistakes. When fees are waived or reduced, too often the level of service for your community is reduced as well. At Real Property Management Instant Equity, we are committed to clear pricing, no hidden fees and the highest level of service.

High Standards. At Real Property Management Instant Equity, we are held to a higher, national standard of performance. You shouldn’t settle for anything less.

Common Interest Communities

Common interest communities include individually owned units, shared facilities, and common areas in neighborhoods. Common abbreviations include PUD, CIC, HOA, COA, LMA, and LOA. Many types of properties are included such as single family homes, condominiums, town homes, and retirement communities. Alongside the Board of Directors of your homeowners association, or HOA, our professional property managers will manage the common areas (playgrounds, parking lots, swimming pools, and clubhouses) and ensure compliance to the governing documents of your community.

Real Property Management Instant Equity has the professional experience, systems, and tools to deliver excellent service to your community. We’ll help you minimize the stress and hassles that come with association management and improve relations among your members.
