Employing versatility and dependability, we make maximizing the profit of your investment a simple streamlined process.

Get More Out of Your Property

It sounds simple: a rental property provides you with investment income and all you have to do is find a resident and collect the rent.

It’s not always that easy. Working with residents, setting up contractors, collecting rent, and good financial oversight of your property is never easy. Don’t leave your largest asset to chance. Employ a professional who knows the laws, regulations, and local ordinances to make sure you stay compliant, has up-to-date sophisticated technology to make renting easier and more transparent, and the network and brand name recognition that instills trust with vendors and residents. When you choose Arbors, you’re choosing a name you can trust.

Screening and Placing Residents

Our marketing and advertising strategies are designed to attract high-quality residents who are looking for long-term rental properties. We utilize our website to list available properties, as well as hundreds of other rental sites that are popular with residents. Additionally, we utilize our extensive professional network, which puts us in touch with real estate agents and businesses who are relocating clients looking for rental properties.

We conduct thorough resident screening processes, which ensure we find the right residents for your properties. This includes performing the following:

  • Credit screenings
  • Criminal screenings
  • Eviction screenings
  • Income reference checks
  • Landlord reference checks

Leasing includes the collection of move-in funds, signing the lease agreement, and discussing expectations and responsibilities with your new residents. We understand the importance of establishing a respectful and professional relationship from day one.

Property Accounting

A comprehensive selection of monthly reports is available to monitor the financial health of your property. These reports include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Owner’s Statement
  • Income Statement
  • Rent Roll
  • Trial Balance
  • Expense Distribution
  • Aged Receivables Report

Through these reports, we will ensure you always know how your property is performing. At any time, you will be able to visit your owner portal and check for a summary of activities, previous financial reports, and any inspection reports.

We work with owners throughout Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods, including Northside, Lawrenceville, East End, South Hills, North Hills.

Property Maintenance

Arbors Management is available seven days a week, 24-hours a day to ensure a prompt response to any maintenance and repair requests. When a maintenance or repair service is required, we will contact the appropriate professional for the job. We offer flexibility in allowing you to choose the maintenance professional you prefer. Proof of liability insurance and workers’ compensation insurance is required of all vendors.

Protecting the condition of your investment property is one of our priorities. Therefore, we will conduct inspections to ensure there is not any unreported maintenance as well as ensuring your residents are following the terms of the lease agreement. Prior to a new resident occupying the property, we inspect the property to verify the move-in condition. We then generate a move-in report which includes photos of the property. The same process applies to the move-out phase. During the rental period, we additionally perform periodic interim inspections to verify the condition of the unit.
