PCR Property Management Services

Your real estate is a valuable investment.  Prudential Carruthers Realtors Property Management Services (PCR Property Management) can help you protect that investment with sound expertise. Our goal is to provide you the best property management service available in the Washington DC/Baltimore area.

Summary of Services

Owner/Tenant Relations:  As your agent, PCR Property Management will advertise your property to locate and qualify tenants suitable for your property, including handling the negotiation of leases, collection of advance rents, security deposit escrow accounts, and if necessary, eviction proceedings. These services remove the need for you to interact with tenants.

Maintenance of Your Property:  PCR Property Management approaches each property with the understanding that it can be managed "individually" to meet the owners’ standards while insuring compliance with Federal, State, and local laws. This is the essence of personal and professional care of your property. Over the years, PCR Property Management has come to know who can do the best work, and the best prices for replacement or repair of equipment and appliances.

Property Inspections:  PCR Property Management will inspect property at the time of Tenant occupancy and provide a Property Condition Report. This report establishes the basis for the operation and care of the property and serves as the final word when the tenant is checked out of the property. Also provided are periodic inspections when needed or may be requested by the Owner or Tenant. Copies of all inspections are provided the Landlord/Tenant with recommendations where appropriate.

Accountability:  PCR Property Management has an outstanding record of on time rent collection (99%). This can largely be attributed to the use of a state-of-the-art accounting program for all properties. From the owner’s funds, PCR Property Management will pay such items as mortgage and HOA payments (if desired), repair bills, and other bills which may accrue to the owner. Excess funds are either forwarded to the owner or deposited directly into their bank account on a monthly basis. Owner statements are sent monthly via e-mail, or by regular mail upon request.  A 1099, as required by the Internal Revenue Service, is sent each year. It is recommended that you consult with your financial advisor regarding the tax deductibility of expenses involved in your property management.

Emergencies:  PCR Property Management operates on a page system and is available on a 24-hour basis for emergencies.
