MANAGEMENT SERVICES

At Windermere Property Management North Sound, we know that property management is about more than just placing a tenant — it’s about transforming your home into a successful investment. Our approach is built on a proven roadmap that guides you through every step of the process with confidence.


We’re committed to building long-term relationships by truly understanding your goals. By getting to know you and your property, we tailor our services to meet your unique needs. With our experienced team by your side, you can trust that you’ll receive the professional guidance and exceptional service you deserve.


Our dedication doesn’t end once your property is rented. We stay actively involved, keeping you informed and helping you make smart decisions that enhance your property’s value and keep it competitive in the market.


DETERMINING VALUE

We begin by conducting a comparative market analysis using our deep knowledge of local rental trends to estimate your property’s potential monthly income.

MARKETING

We promote your property through multiple channels, including on-site signage, online platforms like Zillow and Trulia, and our branded website. Our team handles all inquiries from prospective tenants.

LEASE PAPERWORK

We prepare and execute comprehensive Lease Agreements, including a detailed Property Condition Report. Upon tenant move-out, we conduct a final inspection to document any damage or cleaning deficiencies, which may be deducted from the tenant’s deposit.

RENT COLLECTION

Rent is due on the 1st of each month and considered late after the 5th. Late fees are applied to all overdue or partial payments.

PROPERTY REPORTS

We provide exterior property reports with photos three times per year. Interior reports are conducted at lease renewal and upon request.

LEGAL

We stay current with all local, state, and federal laws governing rental properties to ensure full legal compliance.

PROPERTY PREPARATION

Before listing, we perform a walk-through to identify any improvements needed to enhance rental appeal and value.

SCREENING

We use a rigorous screening process to evaluate applicants, helping to minimize the risk of unpaid rent and property damage.

DEPOSITS

We collect and manage security deposits, prepaid rent, and pet deposits in a trust account. Upon move-out, we process and return funds within 30 days, in accordance with legal requirements.

MAINTENANCE/REPAIRS

We oversee all necessary repairs using our network of preferred vendors and handymen, keeping you informed every step of the way.

MOVE OUTS

We handle all aspects of tenant move-out, including final inspections, deposit reconciliation, and any required turnover maintenance.

ACCOUNTING

You’ll receive detailed monthly and year-end financial statements, along with records of all repairs and maintenance activities.

    If your property is in a neighborhood governed by an HOA, the same information is required—unless the HOA does not enforce specific rules or maintain active management. In such cases, please let us know so we can determine what documentation may still be necessary.

  • Why does Windermere require property owners to name Windermere as additionally insured/additional interest?

    Property owners are required to list Windermere PM North Sound as either an Additional Insured or Additional Interest on their insurance policy. While Windermere maintains its own liability coverage, it may not extend to all risks associated with individual properties. Naming Windermere as an Additional Insured provides an added layer of protection and ensures we are notified if the policy is at risk of cancellation or lapse. This designation helps safeguard both the property owner and Windermere by maintaining continuous and transparent coverage.

When a maintenance issue arises, we coordinate directly with these service providers to assess and resolve the problem efficiently.
