Finding a new home can be a hectic time. Between packing, house hunting, and settling it, it can take weeks to get comfortable in a new place. It’s best if you don’t have to spend long periods of time looking at houses that don’t stand a chance for being a comfortable living arrangement for you.
As property owners, we’ve helped hundreds of people find a home they can be proud of. Between houses we own, houses we manage, or collaborative efforts we’ve coordinated with others in the industry, we’ve been able to find a comfortable fit for many people.
If you’d like to find rental properties in Akron, Ohio, these our our recommended steps:
1. Take a Look at Online Listings
Many property managers post vacant rental properties in the newspaper or on sites like Realtor.com, Zillow, or Trulio. Check out the online listings and see if there’s something you like that fits your budget.
2. Contact the Company Who Manages the Property
Once you’ve spotted properties that you like, take note of the contact information on the listing. Call or email the property managers of the property and express what type of property you’re looking for. Details like:
- How many bedrooms
- How many bathrooms
- What area in the city
- What price range
- and how long you want to lease..
Are pertinent details that can help someone to find what you’re looking for.
3. Schedule a Property Showing
Once you’ve spotted a house you like, schedule a time to walk thru. Imagine how your furniture would interact with the space. Be mindful of what appliances and amenities are included with the property. Decide if the property is a good fit for you.
4. Complete the Application and Leave a Security Deposit
If you’ve decided on a property you really want, you can’t take for granted the property manager will hold it vacant for you. Any real business has to serve customers to keep their doors open. If you like a property, show a genuine interest by paying the security deposit, so the property can be held for you.
5. Schedule a Move-in Date
Let the property manager know when you’d like to move in. Many property managers like to do repairs and fixes while the home is vacant, and you’re expressed interest can help them schedule the final touches accordingly.
