If property is unoccupied:

• Re-key the property and make all necessary updates to meet the minimum requirements as defined by the Texas Property Code.
• We will place the property on our Kwikset Key System.  While this conversion requires an initial investment, you can anticipate only a simple charge to re-key the locks with future tenant changes.

• Market the property via the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), internet websites, print and military media.
• Meet with the new tenant in the property once the lease has been signed and the first month’s rent and security deposit has been collected.  During this meeting, we will:
• Present them with the keys to the property
• Walk through the property with the new tenant and reiterate their responsibilities as a tenant
• Produce your first Owner’s Statement on the 10th of the month after the tenant has moved in. 
• Charge the Leasing Fee to your account when the first full month’s rent has been collected. 
• Inspect the property 30 – 45 days after the tenant has moved in.

If property is occupied:
