How Full-Service Property Management Protects and Grows Your Investment
Whether you’re new to real estate investing or managing multiple doors, the right property management partner can be the difference between burnout and building wealth.
At Oakmont Property Management, we work with investors across Richmond, Hampton Roads, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville to protect assets, streamline operations, and increase ROI — all under one roof.
Here’s how full-service property management works, and why it matters more than ever in today’s real estate environment.
1. Leasing That Reduces Vacancy and Risk
A vacant property costs you money every day. So does a bad tenant. That’s why professional leasing is one of the most important services we offer.
A full-service manager handles everything, including:
Market analysis and pricing strategy
Listing syndication across major platforms
Professional showings and prompt lead follow-up
Thorough tenant screening (credit, background, income, rental history)
Legally compliant lease agreements
According to Zillow’s Rental Trends Report (https://www.zillow.com/research/zillow-rental-market-trends-2024-32771/), the average U.S. rental takes 29+ days to lease — but Oakmont clients benefit from faster turnaround thanks to local expertise and proactive marketing.
2. Maintenance That Preserves Asset Value
Small problems become expensive ones when they’re ignored. With a full-service manager, routine and emergency maintenance is handled quickly and professionally.
Oakmont uses a network of trusted vendors — often at discounted rates — and keeps detailed records of all work performed. We also implement preventative maintenance schedules for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and more.
This protects your property, keeps tenants happy, and reduces liability — all while saving you from 3 a.m. “no heat” calls.
3. Rent Collection and Financial Reporting
Chasing rent is frustrating and time-consuming. Full-service management makes it seamless.
We offer:
Online rent payments and tenant portals
Clear, automated rent reminders
Late fee enforcement and legal escalation when necessary
Monthly owner statements and year-end tax reports
This consistent, transparent approach helps improve on-time payment rates and gives you real-time visibility into your investment performance.
Need help organizing financials for your CPA? We’ve got you covered.
4. Legal Compliance and Risk Reduction
Rental laws in Virginia are constantly evolving — and noncompliance can be costly.
A full-service manager stays on top of:
Fair Housing laws
Security deposit regulations
Eviction procedures
Lease enforcement protocols
You don’t need to memorize the Virginia Residential Landlord and Tenant Act (https://www.dhcd.virginia.gov/landlord-tenant-resources) — we handle it for you and keep your operations compliant and your liability low.
5. Tenant Communication and Retention
Good tenants are worth keeping. Bad communication is the easiest way to lose them.
We act as a professional buffer between you and your tenants, resolving maintenance issues, answering questions, and addressing complaints quickly and respectfully. That means:
Lower turnover
Fewer disputes
More stable income
A Buildium survey (https://www.buildium.com/reports/2023-renter-preferences-report/) found that renters are 3x more likely to renew their lease when they feel their property manager is responsive and respectful.
6. Scalability for Portfolio Growth
Managing one property is a job. Managing five is a business. Managing ten or more without a system? That’s chaos.
With full-service property management, you don’t just survive growth — you scale it. Oakmont helps investors:
Track performance across properties
Identify underperforming assets
Streamline accounting and reporting
Free up time to focus on new acquisitions
Whether you're holding long-term or planning a 1031 exchange, we make scaling simple.
