American West Realty and Management

We have personally used property managers in the past and understand how difficult it can be to find someone capable of caring for your investment. We encourage you to learn about property management, ask questions, review forms and contracts, check references, etc. After educating yourself, compare our offerings to the competition and make an informed decision. We also want to stress that we are not a perfect match for every owner and every property. The more you research other companies and us, the more comfortable you will feel when you decide to hire someone.

Our application process includes a full credit/criminal screening, identity verification, landlord references, and verification of employment or income. We look at how well applicants handle financial obligations, maintain previous rentals, and verify they can afford to rent your home. We screen every adult, 18 years of age or older.

We conduct spot inspections any time we enter the home for maintenance, drive-by inspections, and a detailed annual inspection documented with pictures or video. Additional inspections may be triggered by late rent or other lease violations, or can be requested by the owner for a fee.

Rent is due on the 1st and considered late after the 4th day of the month. A late fee is charged. If not paid in full by the 10th, we serve a 3-day Pay or Quit Notice. If not resolved, we file for eviction through the District Court. Thanks to our screening policy, we have not evicted one of our placed tenants since 2014. Each case is unique, and the property manager decides based on what is best for you and your home. Evictions generally happen within 30 days, minimizing impact on your income.
