Services at a Glance:
Advertisement of Property
The most effective form of advertisement utilized in the Real Estate market today is through the internet. All the homes whether for Lease or Sale, are listed on the Houston Association of Realtors MLS system giving all area Realtors information on your home(s). The homes are then automatically listed on over 300 additional websites. These are just some of the websites we place our listings on: Realtor.com, Har.com, Houston Chronicle, Houston.org, Google, Homes.com, Trulia, Zillow and many more websites.
Tenant Screening
Sugarland Property Management performs a thorough verification on each applicant, which includes a credit check, employment verifications, background checks, and—most importantly—rental references. Our thorough screening process allows us to secure the best tenants possible; that's why 97% of the tenants approved through this method pay rent timely and take great care of your investment property.
Collecting Rents, Security Deposits, & Pet Deposits
- • Although evictions are rare, we will arrange removal through the courts when necessary (usually within ~45 days). Our late-charge policy is strictly enforced.
- • Late payers receive reminder calls and written notices at the appropriate intervals.
- • Deposits are kept in a trust account so refunds can be sent promptly at the end of the lease.
- • Tenants are typically required to pay a security deposit equal to one month's rent.
- • Any expenses are deducted and remaining proceeds are deposited directly into the owner's bank account by the 12th of the current month.
- • All rental payments are due by the 3rd of every month.
Property Reviews
It's imperative to know the condition of your investment throughout the lease.
- • Are there unauthorized roommates?
- • Does your tenant have an unauthorized pet?
- • Are you aware of the property's condition during the term?
One of our plans offers property condition reviews during the lease term. Our property managers perform a review when management begins, 60 days after each move-in, and annually upon lease renewal.
Maintenance and Repair Requests
- • Owners are notified of any single repair that exceeds $400, except in emergencies.
- • We closely supervise work—we know fair pricing and realistic timelines.
Financial Reporting
- • End-of-year reports and 1099s are provided for tax purposes.
- • Rental proceeds can be direct-deposited or mailed.
- • We handle the bookkeeping and email a detailed monthly statement by the 12th.
Let's Get Started
- • The property owner provides the management company with a $400 owner's reserve (“deposit”) to be held in the trust account when management begins.
- • Once you are ready for the next step, give us a call or email us. We will then provide a management proposal for your property and answer any other questions that you have prior to getting started. All of the paperwork can be done electronically and there is no need to print anything. We like to make things simple and easy for clients.

Fees
Sugarland Property Management offers very reasonable management and leasing fees to our clients. Our fee is 6% to 8% of monthly collected rent. A leasing fee equal to one month's rent is charged with a much smaller fee for negotiating renewal leases. Please call us for a rundown of how the fees are calculated. Please take note that SPM never charges a setup fee or cancelation fee.
