What Our Clients Are Saying
Why Garden City Property Owners Choose First Rate Property Management, Inc.
-
A+ Referrals
Over the last three decades, First Rate Property Management has grown our portfolio of properties solely based on client referrals. We have never bought a business or sent out a single mailer or spam email; our largest source of referrals is from our very own clients. Why? Because unlike most other companies, we are investors too. Our clients’ real estate investments perform well and because of that, they tell all of their friends and family to invest in Garden City. -
Liability
Your rental property is a valuable asset, so you should entrust the management of that asset to a knowledgeable property manager that offers you peace of mind. First Rate Property Management has $1,000,000 in coverage per incident for General Liability, Professional Liability and Worker's Compensation insurance. -
Owner Benefits
Owners can take part in our Eviction Protection Plan and Preventive Maintenance Program, which can potentially save you thousands of dollars down the road. -
Resident Protection Package
We also require our tenants to take part in our Resident Protection Package, which includes on-demand pest service, bimonthly filter deliveries, and property liability coverage up to $100,000 – all at no cost to our owners! -
Handle All Complaints
Probably one of the biggest causes for Landlords to sell and run away from rentals is dealing with tenant complaints, excuses, or lack of attention to the property. We handle these for you so you don't have to. All of our employees have been trained on dispute resolution and have great success creating a win-win situation. -
NARPM Members
We believe in education; many of us belong to NARPM, the National Association of Residential Property Managers. Idaho currently is one of the few states that has no licensing requirements or any governing body overseeing property managers, which is why an organization like NARPM is so essential to Idaho property managers. NARPM is a professional organization that promotes education and networking as a resource to empower its members with knowledge and skill. First Rate Property Management is committed to ongoing education and high professional and ethical standards. The result is quality service for you and the community!
