What You See Is What You Get

Our compensation is aligned with our landlord’s best interest.

Some Tampa Bay property management companies appear to have a lower upfront management fee, but the reality is that they make their money behind the scenes on the back-end, by operating maintenance as a profit center.

With Hoffman Realty, maintenance is just a cost center, and your maintenance costs are a transparent pass-through of the vendor’s bill. We don’t profit from a landlord’s misfortune, and our property managers are not motivated to perform unnecessary repairs and maintenance.

Our intention is to move back eventually and we are very pleased with the care they have provided for the home. Any repairs have been done by licensed professionals through their network with us in the know all the time. We highly recommend Hoffman realty.

Hoffman Realty, LLC once again has come through for their home renter. The garage door spring broke during Hurricane Helene, causing the garage door to open only 2 to 3 inches. Once reported, it was a matter of 12 hrs or less before Hoffman Realty was asking me if this was an emergency. It was 2 days later before the Garage Door repairman was installing a spring to fix the garage and it took less than 15 mins. Banko Overhead Doors, Inc was precise and on-time with the scheduled appt. I highly recommend this company if your garage door becomes inoperable. Thanks HR for the quick response.

Hoffman Realty has handled my property for over 10 years. I live out of town so it was imperative to find someone I could trust. MaryAnn and Andrew did not disappoint. They’ve managed my property like their own. They’re very knowledgeable. They do their research and manage to get me top dollar for my property. There are no words to express the level of service they provide. If you’re looking for someone you can trust who will take care of your property as their own, look no further. The entire staff is knowledgeable, helpful and communicates well. A special shout out to Jeanette! She’s handled my property for years. She responds right away when I reach out to her. She’s handled countless problems and emergencies. She listens to me when I need help. It’s always with a smile and a caring attitude. Honestly, if it wasn’t for Hoffman Realty, I would have sold my property years ago. Many thanks and gratitude.

Once again, high praises to the property management team, Ms. Stacy Jordan, by responding so quickly to our meld request; less than 24 hours response time. Mr. Dennis arrived at our home in a timely manner and fixed our water pressure in a manner of minutes. He also took the time to correct some other minor issues that a meld request was not needed. Thank you, Stacy Jordan, for your excellent turnover maintenance repair time once again. 5 out of 5 stars.

I recently moved into a property managed by Hoffman Realty. The property had some issues on the back patio and Stacy Jordan at Hoffman as well as other members of the staff worked with me as the liaison to the owner and arranged to have the patio renovated. I was very happy with the efficiency of their staff overall, to include their retained contractors. Thanks Hoffman!

FAQ

What insurance do I need as a Landlord?

For hazard coverage, you will need a “Dwelling Policy” for your house or a “Rented to Others” Rider for your condo. For liability coverage, make sure you have sufficient general liability coverage in your hazard policy or through a separate commercial liability policy.

If you are new to being a landlord, you should consult with your insurance agent to ensure you are properly protected.

How should a landlord hold escrow?

If your tenant gives you a security deposit, or advance rent, these funds must go into escrow. In Florida, it is best to open a separate bank account to hold escrow as the law requires that these funds not be commingled with your personal funds. The law dictates this account should be at a “Florida banking institution” and, if you choose an interest-bearing account, 75% of the interest, or 5% of the funds deposited, must be paid to your tenant.

What is a Stipulation?

A Stipulation is a court-approved Payment Plan for a tenant that has fallen behind on their rent payments to their Landlord. It is a way to avoid completing an eviction for your tenants who are serious about getting caught up.

Should I accept pets?

Almost 80% of renters in the Tampa Bay area have a pet, so landlords that promote a “no pet” policy miss a huge number of potential renters. If you limit the pool of potential renters, it takes longer to rent your property. Allowing the right kind of pets reduces your vacancy losses by ensuring that your property stays occupied and rented.

Should you rent your property furnished or unfurnished?

Typically short-term rentals are offered furnished as they are used for vacation or corporate housing. However, long-term rentals are typically offered unfurnished, because most long-term renters have their own furniture. In our experience, only a very small number of renters are looking for a furnished long-term rental in the Tampa Bay area, so it will take you a long time to find a long-term renter if you only offer your property furnished.

Should I rent my property without a background check?

All landlords want to rent their property to good tenants. The only effective (and legal) way to know if your potential new tenants will be good neighbors and trustworthy of your property is to perform a thorough background check. This should include credit, criminal, sex-offender, income, and prior landlord references. It’s better to leave your property vacant than to rent to the wrong person.
