PROPERLY INSURED
IF YOU OWN PROPERTY, YOU’RE A TARGET. WHAT YOU MAY NOT REALIZE IS THAT WHEN YOU HIRE AN AGENT TO MANAGE YOUR PROPERTY, YOU AGREE TO DEFEND THEM IN THE EVENT THEY ARE SUED WHILE ACTING ON YOUR BEHALF.
THIS IS NORMAL AND GENERALLY MAKES SENSE. BUT, WHAT IF THE AGENT YOU HIRED FAILED TO DO THEIR JOB OR BROKE THE LAW?
SHOULD HAVE HAVE TO DEFEND THEM? IF YOUR AGENT ISN’T INSURED, YOU WILL HAVE TO.
AS PROFESSIONALS WE STAND BEHING OUR WORK AND CARRY PROPER INSURANCE.
We carry the following insurance policies
- Business Liability
- Tenant Discrimination
- Non-Owned Vehicle
- Cyber Protection
LICENSED PROFESSIONAL PROPERTY MANAGERS
All of our Property Managers are licensed by the Oregon Real Estate Agency which means you and your property are in safe hands.
- All licenses must pass a background check
- All licenses must pass both a state and federal exam
- All licenses are subject to random audits by the Oregon Real Estate Agency
36% of residents list “maintenance” as a reason for leaving. Vacancies cost money but latchel allows us to go on the offensive.
Latchel handles our 24/7 emergency hotline to troubleshoot and resolve problems fast with our Vendors. We are prompted immediately to track and monitor the emergency repairs. For non emergencies we are contacted to dispatch our vendors.
We invest in tools like this to improve OUR residents experience and improve the likelihood they will renew with
Prospective residents regularly call to schedule a showing when they are standing outside the property. Unfortunately, for many property managers, they can’t show the property on-demand. With Rently we can. Prescreened prospects are given a time sensitive code to view your property.
Why is this necessary? Every team, large or small has limited availability. Rently eliminates this age old bottleneck. Prospects can view the property on a Sunday, or even after hours.
Worried about unescorted showings? Don’t be. Rently has hosted over 1 million showings nationwide. For safety and collateral reasons we capture personal information and a credit card authorization from the prospect.
Buildium is the backbone of our company. We use a cloud-based program so our team can access key information about your property in the field or in the office.
But guess what? You can too. We upload all receipts, rental agreements and more to your owner portal.
Want to know more about an expense or see if your tenant has paid their rent? You can find out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Changing Property Managers
Sometimes your current property manager isn’t a good fit. Maybe they can’t delivery the service they promised or maybe your personalities and communication style are not a match. For whatever reason you are looking to change here are some important things to keep in mind.
REASONS YOU SHOULD CHANGE
- You can’t trust them to do what they say they’re going to do
- Exuces about why your rent is not being paid to you each month
- Rude and unprofessional conduct
- Failing to enforce policies with your resident
- You’re not happy
WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT WHEN YOU CHANGE
- Expenses for maintenance and repairs will likely not go down. Homes and appliances break down over time but we provide long term strategy to help
- Residents compliance with the lease won’t change overnight. Ultimately your resident is an adult and they’re responsible for their actions. We will try to influence their actions but sometimes it doesn’t work out and we have to terminate the inherited lease because of poor habits.
- The new manager doesn’t know the full story of the property and repair history just.

MORE MARKETING INFO
We strive to market your home to stand out and allow the best residents to apply. We offer unique marketing tools to allow the best residents to find your home.
When leasing a property more access means more leads. Rently boxes allow potential residents to view the property after 5PM 7 days a week. Most management companies are during this timeframe, but that is when a lot of renters are able to schedule showings. Rently is a self showing tool that is secure and loved by landlords and residents.
Steelhead Property Management has invested in high quality bold marketing signs to professionally market your property. Our signs have a QR and text message code that prospects can use 24/7 to find out everything they need to know about your property.
With the high volume of rentals in the Salem Market it can be hard to set yourself apart from the competition. Steelhead includes walkthrough video tours of all of our properties, this allows renters abroad and out of state to gain confidence in your property while trying to make their decision.
Two things drive interest in your property, price and photos. More exposure means shorter vacancy and money saved. Steelhead uses professional camera equipment including 360 degree cameras and drones to truly capture the home. You won’t see cut off rooms or distorted photos. We believe professional management means professional photography.
FAQ
This is largely dependent on the market and season. Steelhead aims to price properties to rent in 3-weeks or less. But, as the owner you control the list price , if you are holding out for a price that is above market then you will be on the market longer and may not get it. Our leasing agents want to get the property rented just as much as you, and they will check-in every Monday with a traffic update.
Our leasing fee will cover everything that we have discussed on this page. Occasionally owners will ask that we post ads or promotional material on local college pages or community centers. We encourage owners to post our ads on these if they have access but for Steelhead employees to do so we would charge additional advertising costs.
If you are living in the property or it is otherwise occupied then we will not require use of Rently. If your property is vacant we will require use of Rently as a requirement. If your home is renting for $2000/mo and that increased exposure rents your property a week quicker then you just saved $500
We have a legal obligation to work in our clients best financial interest, and statistics show that Rently is in your best interest
