Apartment Leasing Service

<?php the_title(); } ?>

If you own rental units, you know how tedious it can be filling your vacant units. In order to compete with all the other landlords out there, you have to be persistent, creative and ready to meet prospective tenants at the drop of a hat. Thankfully, Threshold Investment Properties is now offering a leasing service to help you fill your units quickly and with no hassle.

Take a look at what we offer with our  service:

  • Professional signage and flyers
  • Consultation to determine market rent value on apartments and what improvements might be cost effective prior to renting.
  • Custom website specific to each apartment
  • Video walkthrough of your apartment – VERY EFFECTIVE
  • Custom craigslist and backpage ads updated 3 times a week (2 for backpage)
  • We handle all the showing and phone calls. At a minimum, we’re always available Monday through Friday from 10am to 6pm, and Saturdays from 10am to 2pm to make sure your prospective tenants get prompt attention.
  • We screen the tenants ($40 charged to tenant, which is also available a-la-carte). Screening always includes credit, state criminal, eviction report, employment and rental history checks. And we do all we can to turn these around within 24 hours.
  • Facilitate the lease signing. At no additional charge we can help you put together a lease and coordinate the lease signing with you and the tenant at our office or the property. This includes making copies of leases for you and any other advice you may need.

The best part is that there is no setup fee, and the service only costs $500 per apartment. You don’t owe us anything until the lease is signed, and the rent and security deposit are in hand. Compare that to the 75% to 100% charged by other leasing companies who do half the work.

Currently, our rental website is being updated, but even in it’s current state its proven to be a big success. Check it out this example for yourself. If you currently have any vacant apartments in South St. Louis or the inner suburbs, and are interested in learning more about our service, feel free to contact me anytime at mkastner@thresholdstl.com or 314-452-3924.
