Full-Service Property Management in Lorain County

Our service areas include Lorain, Elyria, Avon, Avon Lake, North Ridgeville, Oberlin, Amherst, Grafton, LaGrange and Sheffield.

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.

Progressive Urban Property Management is a delight to work with. They always answer my calls, and they always know what's going on. Neonna is who I work with, and I wouldn't want to work with anyone else. She is the best!!!! She is the reason why I gave 5 stars.

Property owners beware! They charge a reasonable 8% of rents collected but make most of their $ on astronomical fees for maitenence and repairs. I was quoted over 4k to patch an area on the roof that was leaking. I used a previous contractor that I dealt with who only charged me $750. They also quoted $315 to clean a small apt and I can have a larger house cleaned in NY for only $200. Various other crazy prices to make units rent ready. We are so relieved we didn’t stuck with them and found a much more affordable management company.

Google - Melissa Bearer - Progressive Urban Property Management
I know that my experience with this company would have been better with a different property owner, but from the start, we had countless issues with repairs and communication in general. They consistently will ask you to leave five star reviews, which did not reflect my experience but I felt pressured into this many times as I did not want them retaliating. The main issue we had with them was a plumbing problem that rendered the shower unusable, and the communication was poor and it took a very long time for us to figure out why our shower wasn’t being fixed. We ended up moving out early and did not have a working shower for the last 2 weeks we were living at the property, and it became clear it was not going to be fixed in any timely manner. Later, after requesting the month’s rent back, we spoke with a representative who explained that the property owner was the one who was the source of the delay, and they could not get ahold of him. I give 2 stars because they did eventually make some effort to solve the problem, and did back us up in our complaints and tried to come to an agreement in our favor, but were unable to. However, at the end of the day, they are the ones who are responsible for keeping the property inhabitable, and they failed to do this. On top of this issue, we also had animals living in our roof that they could not get to leave, the house would not hold heat (would only heat to about 60 degrees and our energy bills were ridiculous), and communication was consistently poor. Again, I cannot speak for an experience for someone who has a more communicative property owner, but we have been incredibly frustrated in dealing with them and I am just happy to no longer be living at one of their properties. Edit: changing this to one star after being emailed to take this review down because it is “hurting their business”. This is so unprofessional.

Transitioned over from a private property manager to PUPM and I have yet to be dissatisfied! The Communication, timely responses and care that I get from Jam is so appreciated. Bob, the maintenance guy has been nothing but helpful from day one. I’ve dealt with property management companies before but PUPM has been nothing but great for me and my family!

I would like to commend Nickia Shepherd for her display of excellent service and professionalism. Nickia was patient while answering my questions regarding lead inspections. She was knowledgeable. Nickia gave detailed information with clarity. She directed me to the maintenance manager for questions that were out of her scope of practice. I was, thoroughly, satisfied with our conversation. She welcomed me to contact her again if I needed any other information. Two thumbs up to Ms. Shepherd.
