RTPM currently manages homes in St. Petersburg & Tampa encompassing Pinellas & Hillsborough Counties.  As our team grows, we are adding new areas to provide consistent service levels for our clients. Contact us if you have a home in another area and we may be able to help you out. If not we will refer you to a reputable company.

No. As soon as we have a signed management agreement we will go to work for you.

This is a common question from our new clients and can only be answered after we conduct an evaluation of your home and the surrounding neighborhood. We can generally give you a feel for a price range, but in this market, prices can move significantly in just a few months. We are able to get our homes rented quickly, however, because we ensure that at any price range, our homes look the best. We're not going to tell you to add granite countertops or spend money unnecessarily, but our attention to detail is what counts. Time and again potential tenants tell us that our homes are in the best condition. 

A number of factors dictate how quickly a home will rent. RTPM's homes are some of the fastest moving homes in the marketplace. The homes are in the best condition and our team is laser-focused on filling vacant properties. You can tell by looking at our website that vacancies are not a big issue for us.

We use a set of pre-determined criteria developed over time that balances finding a qualified tenant and renting the home in a reasonable amount of time. There is no perfect screening criteria, but our team will do their best to place a good resident in your home.

In most cases the tenant pays for utilities, yard care, pool care, etc. and the owner pays the mortgage, insurance, HOA and property tax bills.

Most of our maintenance is handled by our in house staff.  Our technicians are trained specifically in our processes and systems for managing your home in the most cost effective ways possible. 

Sometimes new clients want to use their own contractor to work on their homes and we don't have a problem with this as long as the vendor is properly licensed and insured and can meet our work and payment standards. In most cases, our team and vendor network provides better pricing than our clients' vendors, but this is not always the case. Some of our best vendor partners have been provided by our clients.

If the home is vacant and there is some work you'd like to do yourself, we generally don't have a problem with it, as long as it is work that you're qualified to complete. Remember that part of our benefit to you is that we add a layer of liability protection and, therefore, we want to make sure your home is professionally maintained.

We do not enter the home after it is rented except in cases of emergency, requested repairs or our annual property assessments. If you’d like to see your home, we ask that you schedule it with us so that we may provide proper notice to your tenants. History has shown that repeated disturbances prompt residents to become unhappy and less willing to renew their leases or otherwise cooperate. We like to give our residents sufficient notice when entering their home.

All of our financial information is uploaded to your owner portal. Monthly statements, work orders, scanned receipts of all bills, lease documents, addenda, letters, etc. In addition, you'll get a snapshot right on your homepage so you can see the status at any time day or night. We want you to have 100% financial transparency. On the other hand, you don't have to look at this at all. We will contact you directly if we need you to approve a repair or make a contribution to your account.

We do NOT accept cash so you can be assured you're getting paid if your tenant has paid. We encourage all of our tenants to pay online through our tenant portal. Additionally our tenants may pay at any CVS, Walgreens, Walmart or 7/11 location in the St. Pete/Tampa area.

Rent is simply due on the 1st, late on the 5th and we file evictions on the 11th of each month. We treat all of our tenants equally. The vast majority of our tenants in evictions get caught up during the eviction process and do not need to be locked out.

Simply contact us via phone or email and tell us about your properties. If the home is currently vacant, we will want to walk through the property and provide you any feedback on its current condition, potential pricing etc. Then we would need the following to get started:

• Executed property management agreement
• IRS W-9

Once these are received our new client team will get you set up in our system and help you logon and enter your bank account information. We will also get information specific to your property, keys, garage door openers, etc. and start marketing or meet with your current tenants.

We have offices in Ruskin and St. Petersburg, FL
