Loaded with history, emotion and authenticity, exceptional residences are real estate assets in their own right, with high emotional value. Whether it’s your childhood home, a family château, a vacation villa or even your first student apartment, it can be difficult to part with. That’s why rental management is an excellent alternative for keeping your property while benefiting from additional services. Rental management offers the expertise of a property manager, optimized tax benefits, additional income and enhanced asset value. Here’s how it works.
Definition of rental management:
First of all, it may be useful to define what rental management is. With rental management, you entrust full responsibility for your property to an outside service provider: a property manager. The manager handles all the tasks inherent in the property in question: finding a tenant, managing rent and any disputes, processing administrative documents, etc. He or she also ensures that both the lessor’s and the tenant’s obligations are met, guaranteeing expert, consistent service.
In France, the Loi Hoguet regulates the activities of real estate professionals, including lease management. This law establishes obligations such as the use of a professional card (carte G), liability insurance and a financial guarantee. At Mercure Forbes Global Properties, we respect all regulatory and administrative guarantees as the bare minimum.
When should you use our rental management service?
Whether you don’t live locally, don’t have the time or specific skills to manage the rental of your property, rental management offers many advantages. Among other things, it allows you to increase the value of your real estate assets in complete security.
Delegating the rental management of your property also allows you to benefit from a rigorous selection of tenant files. After selecting properties eligible for rental management, our agents meticulously review tenant files to validate their accuracy and solvency. This essential step ensures that the owner-lessor can rely on reliable management of his or her property and a secure file.
When you call on a rental management service, you benefit from the expertise and know-how of professional agents specialized in this field. Because there are many different situations in which a property can be rented out, our agents’ in-depth knowledge ensures that you are in perfect compliance with your tenant’s requirements. Renting out a property can also be an alternative to selling it. In fact, when a period or a real estate market is not conducive to the success of your sale project, renting out your property enables you to generate income until a better time comes to make your project a reality.
