How We’ll Manage
Your Fort Worth Rental Property
Marketing
We don’t just list your property; we launch it. Your rental gets full exposure on the MLS, over 100 high-traffic rental websites, social media, and our own site. We even tap into local print publications when needed. And yes, we use professional photography, drone footage, and 3D virtual tours to make sure your listing stands out and fills fast.
Resident Screening
Our screening process is designed to protect your property. We verify that applicants earn at least 3x the monthly rent, check their rental history with current and past landlords, run a detailed credit report to flag issues like judgments or late payments, and conduct background checks focused on serious offenses. No shortcuts, just smart risk management.
Rent Collection
We make it easy for tenants to pay on time with online payment options, email reminders, and the flexibility to use a credit card in emergencies. If rent is late, we send a notice, apply the late fee, and follow up promptly, including court filings if necessary. You get paid, and your cash flow stays on track.
Maintenance
We’ve built strong relationships with local vendors and contractors who handle repairs, turnovers, and ongoing maintenance fast and with care. Have preferred vendors? We’ll gladly work with them too. Our goal is to keep your property in top shape without you lifting a finger.
Financial
We inspect every property at move-in and move-out with a full report and photo documentation. Plus, we drive by monthly for quick exterior check-ins, and perform a full interior inspection once a year, right before we offer a renewal. This keeps your rental in great shape and helps avoid surprise issues.
Eviction Protection
We make expectations crystal clear from day one, and if a tenant breaks the rules, we step in quickly. Whether it’s noise, unauthorized pets, or something more serious, we handle it with professionalism and consistency, protecting your investment every step of the way.

10 Best Screening Questions When Interviewing Property Managers
What charges are applied to my tenant outside of rent?
MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION! Management companies are seeking profit in every possible area. They use your property as a vehicle to charge your tenant fees, such as security deposit insurance premiums, pet fees, move-in rush fees, utility coordination fees, and excessively high application fees. Understand what exactly your tenant is being charged before agreeing to partner. The fees are directly tied to tenant retention, which ultimately affects your ROI by requiring additional lease fees, incurring vacancies, and requiring repairs beyond their deposit. This is also a deterrent to quality tenants as they will not typically agree to finalizing with egregious fees applied.
Do you allow security deposit alternatives? If so, are they handled by a third-party or by an in-house alternative practice at the management company?
This is an extremely important question, as this can determine if you have a transferable security deposit should you terminate your agreement and move to a new company for management. This is becoming increasingly common practice. This can be a financial loss to you, as you may find out you don’t have a real security deposit that transfers if this practice is in place. Traverse PM is of the belief that if you don’t require a secured security deposit fund from the approved applicant at lease signing that is housed in the legally required escrow account, it may not be a truly qualified resident. At Traverse Property Management, we require secured funds to ensure our client/owners have the actual security funds should they need them following the tenant’s vacating.
Do you provide direct vendor invoicing, and if not, how much is your maintenance markup?
Most property management companies seek to create profit centers not only from your tenant but also from the owners by marking up vendor maintenance to your property. Management companies typically take the vendor’s invoice, apply a percentage markup, and issue a management company invoice that does not reflect the contractor’s invoiced amount or the applied markup. THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE AND SHOULD BE SEEN AS A RED FLAG! This is a direct result of not being fully transparent and a welcome mat to your wallet. At Traverse PM, we eliminate the worry and stress of percentage mark-ups by applying only a flat $25 maintenance oversight charge for each completed work order. If the issue was caused by tenant negligence, then the resident will be responsible for the charge. The common practice of using percentage markups also makes you question whether you’re getting the best cost, since the fee associated with the percentage markup model wouldn’t indicate that assurance
What is the management company's policy for typical response time back to an owner or tenant
Typically, when dealing with multiple people in a single department, you will find that they are not in sync. This will cause lengthy delays in answering your questions, zero accountability, immense frustration, and ultimately loss of your trust, while costing you more money and leaving you dissatisfied with you and your resident.
Do you utilize the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
Most management companies aim to eliminate costs, and this is an area that directly ties to quality tenants. Most property management companies WILL NOT list your property on the MLS to avoid paying a commission to the outside Realtor for procuring a qualified tenant. The industry standard is to offer 25% of the first month’s rent to an outside Realtor if they list the property on the MLS.
Do you use a self-showing system?
Self-showing systems can be a very effective tool for eliminating days on market to secure a qualified resident. They also impose a slight risk by granting unescorted access. I encourage you to gain a better understanding of the system the prospective management company uses and the security features it provides. There is a wide variety of self-showing lockboxes, and it’s valuable to understand the security features each system offers to avoid costly issues
Get a firm understanding of ALL the charges incurred from the management agreement.
Some management companies include many services in the management fee; however, others do not and charge for each service performed. Request a clear list of the charges expected, so you’re not caught off guard by a charge you may not have been aware of when partnering.
Do you have remote employees out of the country?
This is becoming a more common practice in management companies. This was introduced to the industry a couple of years ago and is becoming much more cost-effective for big management companies, generating more profit. Some call centers have not been vetted for background checks and may expose your personal information. Inquire if the management company has vetted these types of remote employees.
Does your company manage homes in any other markets?
This question will reveal the size of the company you are dealing with. The best management will be LOCAL and aware of the specifics of your direct market. Local property managers have much better relationships with vendors and more insight into the successful/challenging areas of your local rental marketplace.
How many doors do you manage in the Dallas/Fort Worth market?
This is also a direct question to determine how big the company you are dealing with is in your direct market, to help you get a sense of the level of service they can provide.
