Market Knowledge

Our exceptional property management services at Progressive Urban Property Management starts with an understanding of the Lorain County rental market.

This is a scenic, pleasant, and highly desirable place to live. We’re watching the community grow and doing our best to provide outstanding homes to the well-qualified renters who are moving here.

Strategic Marketing

Your Lorain County rental home needs to stand out in a crowded market. We effectively list and market your property with a blend of online technology and personal relationships in the local community. Count on our creative and attention-grabbing listings and leverage our process of effective and convenient property showings. Tenants are eager to learn more about your property.

Tenant Screening

Placing the right tenant is the first step towards a more pleasant and more profitable rental experience. We’re careful, consistent, and committed to finding the tenants who will pay rent on time and take care of your investment. Our process includes credit screening, income verification, and a look at criminal and eviction histories. We stand behind the tenants we place because we trust our screening process.

Rental Maintenance

Worried about your maintenance costs? It’s understandable. Prices for materials, labor, and supplies have risen and it’s more important than ever to invest in preventative, responsive maintenance plans that will protect your property and its value. At Progressive Urban Property Management, we have an in-house repair team, which keeps your costs down and ensures timely, efficient repairs.

Lease Enforcement

We create lease agreements that are legally enforceable in Ohio, allowing us to hold tenants accountable to our expectations. This means on-time rent collection, strict adherence to the rules and regulations around your property, and attention to maintenance, cleanliness, and upkeep. We think of tenants as partners in fulfilling the requirements of the lease and keeping your investment property in excellent condition.

Tenant Relationships

Tenant accountability is important, but so is tenant service. We want to retain your Lorain County residents so that we minimize your vacancy and turnover costs.

We prioritize communication. We’re available, accessible, and transparent when tenants have questions or need support. We invest in creating a quality rental experience that gives your tenants every good reason to work with us rather than against us and renew their lease when it’s time.

Helping Landlords and Investors Increase the ROI on Their Lorain County Investment Properties

Everyone has a different reason for investing in real estate, and we look forward to understanding your investment goals so we can help you reach them. Let’s talk about whether you’re more interested in consistent and recurring income or long-term appreciation. We’ll craft a management plan that supports the path you’re on.

Increasing earnings while decreasing expenses and frustration is what we do as your property management partners. When we approach the leasing, management, and maintenance of your investment property and your portfolio, it’s with a commitment to your success and growth.

Our experience in the local Lorain County rental market helps. Our industry leadership and professional associations help. Our passion for the work we do also helps. Let’s talk about what you hope to earn and where you expect to be at the end of this year, at the end of five years, and at the end of 10 years.

At Progressive Urban Property Management, we’re investing in your properties and we’re investing in your success. Whether you’re a new landlord renting out a home you once lived in yourself or an out-of-state investor looking for new opportunities to diversify your portfolio, we’re ready to work with you.

Setting the Right Rental Price for Your Lorain County Investment Property

There are a number of factors that go into what you can charge for your property. We’re often asked by landlords and owners how much they can ask, and the answer is never as simple as you might think. The market really drives the rents. The competing properties will tell you whether you can raise your rent by 2 percent or 5 percent at least renewal time.

Our local rental market experience and our extensive collection of data can help with the right rental price. We understand the importance of property condition, location, and the competing properties.

Renting your home quickly to good tenants and for the most rent is our priority. We can get you started with a free rental analysis from our team, which will help you price your property accurately and competitively. We’ll also make sure to maximize what you earn.

I am extremely disappointed with Progressive Urban Property Management. What I expected to be a professional, reliable management experience turned into a nightmare as a landlord. Communication was consistently poor. It often took days to get return calls or responses, even on time sensitive issues. More importantly, there was little to no urgency or effort when it came to collecting rent that was months behind. As the owner, I felt like I was the one pushing for action, instead of being supported by the management company I was paying. A major reason you hire property management is to protect your investment, handle tenant issues, and enforce collections. Unfortunately, that did not happen here. The lack of follow through and accountability cost me both time and money. I would not recommend this company to landlords who want proactive management, strong communication, and firm rent enforcement.

They took over our property a few months ago. Which I was excited for and boy was i disappointed. Same problem as the last rental company. They don’t follow through with maintenance and can Barely get ahold of anyone to follow up with the tickets. I have had the same maintenance ticket open for over 2 months and they keep claiming that they’re getting one of their ‘venders’ to contact me but I never hear anything. Ive had two separate people come in and take a look at what needs to be done then I get ghosted then get assigned to another ‘vender’ that never contacts me. I had a separate issue resolved while the other ticket remained open and ignored; They asked me to leave them a 5 star review. I told them I'm not leaving a review till my other things get fixed. That was weeks ago…. So here is the honest review.

My downstairs neighbor moved out. Whoever they contracted with stole 2 BBQ grills, shovel and a few other random things that were outside. There was no regard for the fact ive been here 4yrs paying rent on time. Its so hard to get any info off the main line. Never had this issue with the other property management. They never call back. This has been ongoing since before Thanksgiving. I lost the lady's info who only called back cause I gave 3 stars now im back to square 0.

Avoid at all costs, if you’re able! They really don’t care about their tenants or their property. Our old landlord sold the duplex we live in and this company bought it. First few months we spent fighting with them trying to overcharge us after being told by multiple people are rent would not change once ownership was transferred. We finally get that figured out after MONTHS of back and forth with the office. Then, right after we sign a new lease with them we have new neighbors move in below us in the duplex who smoke cigarettes inside stinking up their unit as well as our entire unit. I am severely allergic to cigarette smoke, management simply doesn’t care. I left a note directly to our neighbors as well as reported them to management every single time I smelt cigarettes coming through OUR vents into OUR unit. They say they deal with it but the neighbors continue to do it with complete disregard to us and our pets living above the getting secondhand smoke. Our lease has a huge clause about smoking and how its terms for lease termination, yet 6 reports later I am still waking up to cigarette smoke coming into our bedroom through the vents. For FOUR STRAIGHT MONTHS! They don’t care about their property CLEARLY but the lack of care for tenants is where I get frustrated.

The team at PUPM is honestly among the best I’ve ever worked with in any industry. They are incredibly quick to respond, and the best part is that they actually get things done right the first time. Sam and Bob make living at 1442 completely hassle-free; they keep the building spotless and always make sure it feels safe. If you get the chance to move here or work with this team, jump on it. You definitely won't regret the decision.
