CityBurb now offers Property Management services for Boise, Meridian and Eagle property owners (we’ll look at other areas on a case by case basis).  The CityBurb advantage is that as licensed real estate agents and members of the Intermountain MLS, we can advertise our rental listings to all of the other real estate agents in the valley and make use of all the web services that draw listings from the MLS.  And in the CityBurb spirit, we’ll be sharing our fees with other brokers and agents as an incentive for them to bring renters to our clients’ properties.

This concept is nothing new in the commercial leasing world, but in Idaho property managers are not required to be licensed and so very few are.  By being licensed we can offer the following advantages:

• An unbiased opinion on whether the owner should rent or sell the home
• The ability for an owner to simultaneously offer a home for sale or rent
• A larger pool of potential tenants by offering purchase options

We’ll also be able to help renters by showing them more than just the properties we have for rent since we’ll be cooperating with other management and real estate companies.  And we’ll be able to identify renters that could be potential homeowners and assist them with purchase options.
