When requested by owners, we provide expert leasing services. We specialize in Property Management Services in Vancouver and asset management of furnished and unfurnished single-unit rentals, townhome complexes, multi-unit houses and vacation properties. First Stay Realty Inc. professionals know the rental market, what comparable properties are leasing for, and what potential tenants are willing to pay for a leased space given a specific property’s amenities and location, lease term, size, etc. Rental prices tend to increase greatly in the summer season and tend to go down during the autumn/winter season which runs from October to Easter.
We have the marketing expertise and industry relationships to reach potential tenants and the experience and resources to enable our client’s properties to maintain above-market occupancy levels. We maintain strong ties with national and international tenants. Showings are promptly scheduled, and conducted daily, seven days a week. With every application, prospective tenants are SCREENED thoroughly.
We also have the experience, if requested by the owner, to handle the entire leasing process, inclusive of initial site visits, Request for Proposal, Letter of Intent, Lease negotiations, Credit checks on potential tenants, lease drafting including a customized Addendum for each property, and lease execution.
We always respond quickly and professionally to all requests from potential tenants and pride ourselves on our ability to convert initial property visits by prospective tenants into executed leases. All of our fees are “performance-based”.
If we don’t lease the property, you don’t pay our leasing fee.
Please do not hesitate to call at 778.317.6393 and we will be happy to answer all of your questions.
We make arrangements with specialized trades for maintenance and repairs that cannot be handled by regular property maintenance staff. After soliciting competitive bids from multiple contractors and receiving owner approval, we award maintenance and repair contracts for the property. As part of the property maintenance process, we negotiate contracts for heating and air conditioning maintenance and repair, elevator, janitorial, lighting, plumbing, security, electrical and telecommunications maintenance, grounds maintenance, trash removal, and other Property Management Services in Vancouver.
We believe in a team approach to achieve the highest level of service to you. We also closely monitor the performance of engaged contractors and investigate and resolve tenant complaints. We handle and coordinate tenant improvements as well as routine repairs and emergency repairs so that you do not have to. We have the experience and expertise to avoid unnecessary repairs which saves our clients money.
