Reasons to rent out your property with a real estate agency

How secure is it to rent a property directly?

Renting an apartment in El Poblado or any other part of the city without the assistance of an expert can be very risky, as this type of process exposes important information such as personal data, income, and knowledge of your properties, which is the main scenario where real estate scams occur.

How can you determine the right price for your property and select the ideal tenant?

Thanks to our knowledge, real estate agencies offer a price that is in line with market behavior. This way, we ensure that the apartment for rent in Laureles or any other area is not priced higher or lower than the going rate in the area. In addition, in order to choose the right tenant, we analyze each person to ensure that they are a qualified tenant.

If the property is leased through direct insurance, how does late payment work?

With direct insurance, the owner must keep track of the tenant's payments and, in the event of any eventuality, must report the late payment to the insurer. However, the owner will not be able to receive the payment directly due to the additional paperwork that must be completed.

On the other hand, when the owner leases their property directly, the rent is paid into their personal savings account, which makes it difficult to set up late payment procedures. On the other hand, renting the property through a real estate agency not only guarantees the rent, but also ensures payment on the same date regardless of whether the tenant makes the payment or not, since the real estate agency is responsible for all collection procedures, as well as for the payment of the administration fee and other obligations that may be agreed upon between the parties involved.

This is why, in most cases, owners decide to leave their property in the care of real estate agencies. With us, at Inmobiliaria Alberto Álvarez, your property will be safer, more secure, and in expert hands. We recommend taking into account the risks that may arise when renting a property directly, and always seek appropriate support.
