Property Management

If you are an investor looking for management services, Northern Crain’s property management division is here to help. We provide professional, personalized service committed to you. With the Northern Crain team managing your properties, we are dedicated to selecting quality tenants, and ensuring your investment or property excels. Maintaining your investment with efficiency and minimal costs is our ultimate goal. From listing properties on our website and other locator sites, to tenant screening and rent evaluations, to providing tenants with the proper information throughout the duration of the lease, when you choose Northern Crain as your team, you are choosing success.

Our team ensures every unit is rent-ready for tenants on move in. Prior to move in, all smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are tested in the building. Inspections are done mid-lease to ensure compliance of the lease.

We put marketing efforts at the top of list. Because we are innovative and forward thinking, our agents work around the clock to ensure your listing is advertised across a multitude of websites and signage is created to promote on site.

We take showings seriously. With quality video tours of properties, to professional live showings, the Northern Crain team is well rounded with experience in taking property showings to the next level.

Potential residents are screened by Northern Crain through a comprehensive application process, including credit and criminal background checks, employment verification and rental/mortgage payment history.

All leasing documents are executed in accordance with Leases & Addenda by the Texas Association of Realtors. Our team works to secure rents and deposits, then moves on to providing the new tenant information on their new property.

We work to avoid late payments with tenants. Rent is due on or before the first of each month, and it is considered late after midnight on the fourth of the month. Property owners are paid around the tenth of each month once all rents have cleared.

Our team serves as the point of contact for any and all resident questions, concerns and requests—like those unpleasant midnight repair and maintenance calls. All maintenance requests must be submitted in writing to the property manager.

Avoiding constant and costly turnover is our goal. We work to retain tenants through incentives like new and innovative perks, and proactively engage with residents for renewals who have leases ending in the near future.

When a tenant chooses to move on, we work to process official records of notices and inform the tenant on moving procedures. We then conduct walk-throughs of the property and manage any deposit expenditures.

We bring a 24/7 client portal to the table featuring detailed information on accounting, maintenance reports, and detailed monthly summaries. In addition, we are in contact with the property manager on a regular basis.
