Our Philosophy

We provide our clients with the utmost service, from tenant location to maintenance and repairs. By focusing on tenant retention and property maintenance, we help ensure you get the most out of your investment. The highest costs to an owner, bar none, are during vacancy periods.  There is a tremendous loss to a homeowner each month the house is not rented. Those expenses can include loan payments, utilities, yard upkeep, general repairs, paint, and flooring.  The longer a tenant stays, the less frequently an owner will incur vacancy costs.  We try to increase the average length of tenancies, helping owners keep their costs lower.  We encourage consistent updates and quality maintenance. The benefits of performing repairs to keep the home nice, rather than simply livable, are many, but the biggest one is that tenants tend to keep nice houses nicer.

We like to say that a tenant will take care of the house the same way you do.  This means that if they move in and you refuse to replace a washing machine that breaks, they are less likely to stay in the house past their initial lease term, but they are also less likely to keep the house as nicely as they would otherwise.  Once a house is ready to move into, houses that have been upgraded attract better tenants and rent more quickly.  While it can be difficult in the moment to approve repairs that are not necessarily required, we like to look forward at the long-term benefits rather than focusing on the short-term.  We work in the best interest of our clients, but we also strive to provide a great experience for our renters. In this digital age, it is imperative that tenants be satisfied in order to avoid negative reviews, which affect all GDR clients. We also encourage tenant to tell their friends and family about their experience with our company and offer incentives to them for referrals. Word of mouth is always the best form of advertising!

Here at GDR Property Solutions, LLC we understand that that your rental home is much more than an investment.  For some it is a long term plan to ensure future security, and for others renting a property is simply a temporary measure to avoid financial issues until a home can be sold.  We get it, and we provide individualized services and guidance that fits your individual needs.
