What Onboarding Actually Covers
Onboarding is the bridge between signing your management agreement and your property being fully managed. We handle the paperwork, systems, communications, and transitions, so you don't have to coordinate the handoff yourself.
Whether your property is currently vacant, tenant-occupied, or being transitioned from another property manager, our onboarding process is built to make the change smooth, fast, and clear.
Our Step-by-Step Onboarding Process
-
Welcome and Kickoff
After you sign the management agreement, you're assigned a dedicated point of contact. We schedule a kickoff call to walk through your property, goals, preferences, and any specific instructions you want us to follow.
-
Document and Information Collection
We collect what we need to manage your property properly: insurance information, HOA documents (if applicable), warranties, vendor preferences, utility account details, and any existing lease documents.
-
Property Setup in Our Systems
Your property is set up in our management software, owner portal, and accounting systems. You'll receive login credentials and a walkthrough of how to access reports, statements, and property updates anytime.
-
Property Evaluation and Walkthrough
We conduct a detailed property walkthrough to document conditions, identify any pre-leasing maintenance needs, and confirm the property is rent-ready. You receive a full report with photos.
-
Tenant Transition or Marketing Launch
If your property is occupied, we manage the tenant transition: introduction letters, lease assumption, payment portal setup, and clear communication so tenants know nothing about their experience is changing for the worse.
If your property is vacant, we move directly into pricing, marketing, and showing the property to qualified applicants.
-
Ongoing Management Begins
Once setup is complete, you're fully in our management system. Monthly statements arrive on schedule, maintenance issues are handled in real time, and you can check your owner portal anytime for full visibility.

Understanding Priorities
Whether your property is currently vacant, tenant-occupied, or being transitioned from another property manager, our onboarding process is built to make the change smooth, fast, and clear.
What You Need to Provide
To make onboarding fast, we'll ask for the following from you:
- Signed management agreement
- Property insurance documentation
- HOA contact info and governing documents (if applicable)
- Current lease agreements (if tenant-occupied)
- Utility account details and preferred handling
- Banking info for owner disbursements
- Any specific preferences (preferred vendors, repair approval thresholds, etc)
We'll send a clear checklist so nothing gets missed.
Transitioning From Another Property Manager
Switching property managers feels harder than it actually is. We've done this many times and we manage the transition so you don't have to coordinate between your old and new manager.
What we handle during a transition:
- Communication with your previous property manager
- Collection of leases, tenant info, and historical financial records
- Security deposit transfer coordination
- Tenant introduction and communication about the change
- Vendor relationship handoff or replacement
- Utility account transitions
Your only job is to give notice to your current manager. We handle the rest.
