Welcome Mat -Owners

Hi, come on in! You've come to the right place. 

Our Mission

We provide our clients the benefits of ownership without the daily responsibility that often entails. Owners may not have the time to adequately manage their property, and tenants need someone who responds to them promptly. At Key Lime Management, our goal is to keep all parties satisfied. You will enjoy the benefits of owning rentals for years to come, and your tenants will have more reasons to stay, renew their lease, thereby easing your expense and stress. You'll also enjoy the peace of mind and convenience that comes from knowing that your rental is efficiently and properly maintained. 

About Us  

For client and tenant convenience, we provide online access to financial reports. (Paper statements are also available.) Likewise, we offer tenants the ability to submit work orders online There are no extra fees for meeting vendors for repairs. Our collections policy is strict but allows tenants to make arrangements to get outstanding rent paid. It's always best to work with a tenant rather than make their payment troubles deeper with steep late charges. If the tenant falls behind by more than one month, a 30-day collection notice is issued, and we file for collections. All legal proceedings that follow are conducted by Key Lime Management on your behalf. Key Lime Management is licensed and insured, and we have undergone a criminal and background check. 

Our Promise

1.  A commitment to quality. We'll treat your property as though it were our own. This is not just a job; we really do care.

2.  Focus on your investment return. We will market your rental, weighing the research and your numbers to set an appropriate rent; carefully select tenants; repair and maintain your rental in a timely fashion; and handle all the bookkeeping needs.

3.  Personalized service. We'll take the time to get to know you and your property.

4.  Full-service property management. Your rents will be collected, draw sent promptly and your property will be inspected twice a year. We'll pay the bills, collect the rent, cover the hose bibs in a freeze and get the tenants back in their house when they've locked themselves out. We report to you everything we've done every month, so you won't miss out on a thing.
