To be competitive and get the maximum dollar, your property must be turnkey and ready to go.

“We believe that providing true service in real estate, as well as a clean and functional property will make all the difference in how quickly people may rent it and for how much money a month real estate will be able to receive,” Joseph Stokley Jr. of Stokley Properties said.

1)         Real estate owners must be prepared to do what must be done to offer a good, clean, competitively price product of the property.

2)         Stokley Properties is not suggesting ripping out a 25-year-old kitchen and replacing it with a new $40,000 kitchen; however if the kitchen and the rest of the home could use new paint and carpets, or perhaps newer and cleaner appliances, these projects should be undertaken.

“The property owner should think about making that investment to maximize the amount of monthly rent they could collect and to rent the property sooner,” Stokley said.

3)         Owners should spend no more than what they need, but just what should be done.

“To be competitive and get the maximum dollar, your property must be turnkey and ready to go. It must have fresh, new paint and flooring, if necessary to stand out from the crowd. If you do reinvest in your property by doing these things, your return on investment will be a better caliber of renter and receive a much higher rental amount,” Stokley said.
