Owner FAQs
Answers to your frequently asked questions
-
Am I required to make my property available to Section 8?
Property owners are not required to accept Section 8 tenants unless local laws in your area mandate it. At RealiCare Real Estate, we believe in keeping you informed and empowered — we will walk you through the applicable regulations in your jurisdiction so you can make the right decision for your investment with full confidence. -
Are you licensed?
Yes. RealiCare Real Estate is a fully licensed property management company operating under the leadership of Florida Real Estate Broker Camille Barnes. We hold ourselves to the highest industry standards, ensuring every service we provide is compliant, ethical, and built on a foundation of reliability and excellence. -
Can I reach you after hours?
Yes. We understand that real estate does not operate on a 9-to-5 schedule. An emergency contact is available for urgent property matters, and all general inquiries are handled promptly during normal business hours — because responsiveness is not just a courtesy here, it is a core value. -
Can you put the money directly into my account?
Yes. We offer direct deposit for all owner disbursements, making the transfer of your rental income seamless, secure, and timely. Your financial performance matters to us, and we handle it with the same precision we bring to every aspect of managing your asset. -
Do I get to see the lease or sign it?
Absolutely. Transparency is central to everything we do at RealiCare Real Estate. You will have the opportunity to review your lease agreement before it is executed. As your property manager, we handle the lease signing on your behalf — but you will never be left out of the loop on the details that protect your investment. -
Do you sell real estate too?
Yes. RealiCare Real Estate offers both property management and real estate sales services. Whether you are looking to grow your portfolio, sell an existing asset, or explore new opportunities, our team is equipped to provide strategic guidance that aligns with your short-term needs and long-term financial goals. -
How and when do I get my checks?
Owner disbursements are processed on a consistent, reliable schedule — typically via direct deposit — after rent has been collected and applicable expenses have been reconciled. You can expect clear, predictable income delivery backed by detailed financial reporting every step of the way. -
How is rent collection handled?
We make rent collection as efficient and stress-free as possible by offering multiple payment options, including online payments and traditional methods. Late payments are addressed swiftly and in accordance with the terms of the lease, protecting your income and the integrity of your investment. -
How long of a lease do you sign?
Standard lease terms are typically one year, though we evaluate each property and market condition individually to recommend the term that best serves your goals. Shorter or longer lease options may be available based on your preferences and local demand — because one size does not fit every investment strategy. -
How much security deposit do you charge the tenant?
Security deposit amounts are determined based on market standards, legal requirements, and factors such as the rental price and tenant qualifications. We ensure that every deposit is structured to protect your property while remaining competitive in the current rental market. -
How soon can you start managing my property?
We can begin managing your property as soon as the management agreement is in place and your property is prepared for leasing. Our onboarding process is designed to be smooth and efficient — because every day your property sits unmanaged is a missed opportunity. -
What type of properties do you manage?
RealiCare Real Estate manages a diverse range of property types, including single-family homes, multi-family units, condominiums, and commercial spaces. Our asset management approach means we evaluate every property through the lens of people, product, and price — ensuring your investment performs at its highest potential. -
What type of reports do I get and how often?
You will receive regular financial statements that detail rent collection, operating expenses, and maintenance activity — giving you a clear and accurate picture of your property's performance. Additional customized reports are available upon request, because informed owners make better investment decisions. -
Who holds the tenant security deposit?
Security deposits are held in a dedicated account in full compliance with applicable state and local laws. At RealiCare Real Estate, we handle every financial detail with transparency and accountability, so you always know your investment is being protected the right way.
