Did you know we include legal protection for landlords in Santa Clarita and throughout the state of California?
The demand for rental properties has never been higher for both apartments and homes. If you have a property that’s currently available – or you’re looking to add another property to your portfolio – now is the time.
While timing is everything in real estate, however, it’s just as important to be ready to handle any potential liabilities that could arise with your property or tenants. That’s why the protection of attorney services from a licensed real estate broker and attorney, like the ones at SCREM, are critical to have in your corner.
Our Attorney Protection Services
Attorney protection services are available to any client of SCREM, as much as is needed. Our attorneys – including Steffanie Stelnick, who was named as 2020 Litigator of the Year by the American Institute of Trial Lawyers, as well as being a licensed realtor — are experts in the fields of property dispute, rental contracts, landlord-tenant communications, and all the potential concerns that can arise in property management.
Additionally, our landlords receive all the benefits that come from working with a company like SCREM, which has more than 35 years of experience in the local market.
Why Attorney Protection Services Matter
While the real estate and rental property markets are incredibly hot right now — with prices reaching record-breaking levels for condos, and homes receiving numerous cash offers above value — it can also create a lot of potential volatility and uncertainty for property owners. Evictions, for example, could also rise if property owners aren’t careful.
“One of the aspects of property management that we’re especially proud of is our very low eviction rate among tenants,” explained Todd Stelnick, Vice President of Southern California Real Estate Management Inc. “We know eviction is a worst-case scenario for everyone involved, and that’s why we work with tenants to screen for any potential issues, ensure all contractual obligations are understood, and help everyone start off in the best position possible for a stable and positive rental experience. And we do all that on behalf of our property owners – so they don’t have to worry about a thing.”
An eviction process is an expensive and painful process for all involved, but it becomes much easier to deal with when you have a licensed real estate attorney, such as CEO and President Steffanie Stelnick, fighting for your best interests.
“If that happens, while it can be a time-consuming process in Los Angeles County, our attorney protection services ensure any hearings are taken care of for you,” Steffanie explained. “That means, outside of a court filing fee and a sheriff lockout fee, we’ll take care of everything else, including the process for rent recovery.
That’s What We’re Here For
Southern California Real Estate Management Inc. will work hand in hand with you to make sure all of your leasing agreements are prepared in accordance with current law and local ordinances.
“We’ll make sure that the wording of any terms, provisos or covenants are written clearly and spelled out in the same manner,” Steffanie explained. “In our years of experience, having a real estate attorney screen your potential tenants, review all contracts and manage tenant communications will drastically reduce the chance of your tenants breaking the lease.”
Another advantage of Southern California Real Estate Management Inc. is having access to a legal expert for any issue or question that may come up, whether it’s a local property or one located elsewhere in California.
“If you have questions about any properties you own, you can call me anytime,” Steffanie said. “We don’t charge for phone calls, and we’re here to help you.
We are committed to the success of our property owners. That’s why we offer a wide range of services and programs to give you the support you need. We would be more than happy to discuss how we can meet your needs as a property owner. Contact us today to learn how we can help.
