Ready to sell your rental property in Santa Clarita? Here’s how SCREM can help guide you and your tenants through the process with success and ease.
As the local real estate market continues to climb, you may be considering the sale of a rental property in Santa Clarita or throughout the state of California.
While this can be a very lucrative time to sell, there are some specific challenges to consider when selling a rental property, including how you work with your tenants throughout the sale.
With SCREM on your side, however, you can confidently sell your Santa Clarita rental property with success and ease.
Let us walk you through each major step in the process.
What To Know When Selling a Rental Property in Santa Clarita
1. Before you sell
Before you get ready to sell your rental property in Santa Clarita, it’s crucial to make sure you have an experienced team of professionals who can help you throughout this process.
One of the perks about managing your rental property with SCREM includes 24/7 access to industry experts who can support all your real estate needs. That means legal support through The Law Offices of Steffanie Stelnick, agent support through JSL Realty, and of course, home-improvement support from SCREM. For example, JSL Realty’s licensed agents know how to work with both the tenant and the landlord, to ensure proper communication every step of the way.
Plus, one of the benefits of working with SCREM is access to our network of property owners. Why? Our owners can sell their rental properties to other owners, and the tenants stay happily in the property. It’s a faster and easier sale for the property owner, as well as an attractive purchase for the new property owner.
“We can help the landlord in facilitating the sale, while we also help the current tenants through new ownership or finding a new place to live, whether it’s renting or owning,” explained Steffanie Stelnick, broker and owner of JSL Realty. “Through SCREM, we also work with many experienced vendors that can help with all aspects of listing your rental property.”
If you’d like to speak with a local expert – a Santa Clarita realtor/broker, real estate attorney or real estate investor – please give us a call at (661) 255-7600.
2. When You’re Ready To Sell
There are a number of factors to consider in the decision to sell, but once you’re ready, our team of experts can help you list your property at the perfect time and price point.
“When we help a client sell an investment property, we work with the property’s owner, the owner’s accountant and any legal counsel or attorney familiar with the property owner’s estate,” Steffanie explained. “That’s because, as an experienced property management company that also offers all of those professional services, we know how to help with all aspects of a sale.”
For example, there’s the capital gains tax to consider, as well as timing the market and reviewing legal documents.
3. During The Sale
If you’d like to sell a rental property while a tenant is currently living in the home, we can help. We assist coordinating viewings and open houses with the tenants, as well as initiating communication and answering questions. If the tenant would like to continue renting, we also help them find a new rental property that’s perfectly suited to their needs, through a detailed search with one of our SCREM professionals.
“Whenever possible, we like to keep our great tenants and help them find the next place they’ll call home,” Steffanie said.
