How much can I charge for rent?

Rent values are set by public demand; we work with our clients to rent the property for its highest value in the shortest possible time. Since 1981, our continued presence in the Portland rental market has allowed us to place thousands of residents in our clients' properties, giving us a valuable history of rental pricing. Our weekly monitoring of our advertising success gives us a real-time assessment of current rental housing needs. Rents may also be established by Curb Appeal and competitive pricing.

How do you advertise my property?

We at Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. start advertising as soon as possible and continually refine what we have found effective. Our main media marketing sources include: weekly community advertising in the local newspapers, on site signs, Internet multiple-listing services (Integrity Alliance.com, Craigslist.org, Homerentals.net), and our highly requested Broadcast Fax to Professional Real Estate Organizations on a weekly basis.

How do you select quality tenants?

We actively pursue quality residents--quality residents can make or break the success of our clients. That is why we at Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. complete our own applicant investigation. We do not use commercial tenant screening companies but choose to go the extra mile in obtaining credit reports, criminal investigations, and rental references.

Do you accept pets or permit smoking?

The clients' interest and protection of the property is paramount to us. Our application specifically requires the applicant to disclose if they have a pet or smoke, and the Rental Agreement can be terminated if the resident has falsified their application. We prefer not to have pets in our properties. Many of our clients, however, have approved of qualified pets to meet demand. Certain breeds of dogs are not permitted under any circumstances. The only exceptions are Assistance Animals, which are covered by the Federal Fair Housing Statutes.

What kind of deposits do you require for pets?

All residents are required to place a deposit greater than the monthly rent on deposit with us. $200 to $300 is non-refundable. In the case of an approved pet, a deposit of $500 is required for dogs and $300 is required for cats.

Do you prefer a lease or month-to-month rentals?

Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. recommends a 12 month lease to maximize client income. Frequent vacancies cost time, money, and are hard on the property condition. Our average resident stays approximately 24 months.

Who handles late night calls for repairs?

We have a 24-hour number to handle any late night calls. One of our staff is always on call to handle emergencies. Most of the resident concerns can easily be handled during normal hours. If a call is received after hours, we make our best efforts to have contractors on the job during normal working hours to minimize costs, unless it is an extreme emergency.

Who approves repair and maintenance items?

At Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. we make all efforts to keep the client up-to-date with changes in the property condition. Our staff is required to notify the client of any expense in excess of $150 prior to commencement of the work. That is why we use mobile phones, faxes, E-mail, and long distance phone calls to keep our clients informed.

How often do you make inspections?

Keeping informed of property conditions is important to us. That is why we make a visual exterior inspection every three months and make a written report to the client. Every 12 months we make an interior inspection. We encourage our clients to attend these inspections.

What makes you different from the other management companies?

Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. is a mid-sized company whose interior structure is built upon efficiency. Each person is delegated a specific, specialized job function. In smaller companies, each person must wear many hats, which often produces mediocrity. In larger companies, leadership can get detached from the client and resident.

Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. specializes locally in Washington County, which includes Sherwood, Newberg, Beaverton, Aloha, Hillsboro, Tigard, and Tualatin. This helps us focus on the community needs. Too many properties over a large geographical area are difficult to manage, which prevents the property management company from meeting high client expectations.

Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. specializes in the management of single-family homes and small multiple units.

Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc. does not broker or enter real estate listings or sales. Instead, we focus on the management of our clients' properties. We do, however, assist professional realtors in meeting their clients' needs.

Why should I select Integrity Alliance Properties, Inc.?

Because we Do Business the old fashioned way, One client at a time!
