Why we're different

Renting a home versus selling it requires specialized skills many traditional real estate brokerages don't possess.  With the financial and legal ramifications of leasing and property management, you need to turn to a professional company, equipped with the knowledge and expertise to meet help you achieve your goals. With Charthouse Properties, you'll receive all the services that only a company with 24 years experience can offer.  

 

DETERMINING RENTAL RATES

Keeping rents as high as the market allows leads to better tenants.

We assist in determining the appropriate rent given market conditions and similar properties nearby.  

Advertise your property through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and websites for military families.  Our listings also appear on over 85 other websites including Realtor.com, Zillow, Yahoo, Hotpads, Trulia, Zumper, and many others.

TENANT SCREENING

Believe it not, some applicants are in the process of being evicted when they apply for another home.

Perhaps no other service we provide is more critical to success than tenant screening. Our screening process assures you of qualified tenants while reducing exposure to unreliable lease payments.
 and a disruputed income stream. We've had only one eviction since 2009.
