The rental market in Northeast Florida is booming. Rents, spurred by surging demand, have risen strongly, while the rental vacancy rate has fallen to historic lows. In the last year, rental prices have risen 10 to 15 percent while days on the market are decreasing. Some listings are rented in less than 24 hours.

With a limited supply, there is an increased demand for property management services. That’s why Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty added a property management division to its family of services last year. Florida Network Property Management specializes in the management of single-family homes and condominiums, offering exceptional services to investment property owners and tenants.

“With its strong employment base, military presence, state-of the art medical services and outstanding quality of life, Northeast Florida is an appealing market for single-family rental properties as well as for home buyers and sellers,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Network Realty Founder, President and CEO Linda Sherrer. “We are proud of our newest division and to offer a class of property management services previously unseen in Northeast Florida.”

Florida Network Property Management provides first-rate management services for single-family homes and condominiums including pool homes, golf course homes, oceanfront condominiums and riverfront estates located in Duval, Clay, St. Johns and Flagler counties. The company brings together the strength of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand with the success of Florida Network Realty, the local market leader.

Under the leadership of Asset Manager and Realtor Shelby Heinemann, Florida Network Property Management provides full management services including marketing, tenant screening, leasing, maintenance, mid-term property reviews and accounting.

“Whether it is a single-family residence or condominium, most owners need the support of a professional to assist in finding suitable tenants as well as maintaining the property,” said Heinemann. “Florida Network Property Management is dedicated to preserving and enhancing the value of our clients’ properties while generating the highest possible return on their investment. Our company can also assist in locating the perfect rental to suit every need.”

Florida Network Property Management manages the area’s most desirable rentals and offers outstanding customer service to help tenants find a home that meets their needs. With the company’s knowledge of the Northeast Florida real estate market, Florida Network Property Management can help owners of investment properties earn strong financial rewards.

“Investors are increasingly exploring real estate as an alternative to stocks and bonds,” said Broker/Executive Vice President Christy Budnick. “A rental property is an ongoing investment in today’s market, and the right property management company is the most important link to property owners achieving their goals. Our company offers management solutions that enhance investment value as well as some of the most attractive rental properties on the First Coast.”
