"When you represent yourself, have my checklist, total cost calculations, lease explanations, hidden pitfalls, or sample application with you."
Top-Rated Specialty
Compliance Consulting – Ensure your rental agreement complies with local, state, and federal housing laws, whether you are a single-family homeowner, small investor, or high-dollar renter. Plus, learn about regional changes in 2026, insurance, and the correct price point based on short-term or long-term renting goals (they are different pricing strategies).
For small property owners/managers:
Do you know how projected or cancelled building projects and vacancy rates in your area should guide your decisions in 2026?
You can easily print contracts on the internet, but are you sure all of your own protections are covered?
Do you know what additional "outs" and recourse you have depending on the type of property, existing or prior residents, and lease term you have in place?
While this service cannot replace a formal legal consultation with a real estate attorney, my advice and document drafts can be used by you to print up your own personal use contracts, provide to your attorney for discussion, or to better assess rental terms before making binding rental contracts.
For renters:
up-to-date information on neighborhood trends, rental prices, and vacancy rates to help you make informed decisions
help with a realistic rent budget based on income, expenses, and long-term financial goals
how to search effectively, including preferred platforms, filters, and red flags to avoid
lease terms in plain language, highlighting key clauses such as rent increases, maintenance responsibilities, and lease duration
renters rights, including protections against discrimination, eviction procedures, and security deposit rules
negotiate favorable terms, such as rent reductions, move-in incentives, or lease flexibility by yourself
what to look for during showings, including signs of maintenance issues or potential safety concerns
evaluating properties for safety features like smoke detectors, locks, emergency exits, and recommend improvements
estimates for utilities, parking, and other recurring costs to help with understanding total monthly expenses
guidance on moving logistics, including timing, packing, and coordinating with property managers
the legal and practical aspects of subletting or finding reliable roommates, including screening processes

"When no one is taking action on your concerns, you should know where to turn, and who can get things done!"
HIRE A
TENANT BROKER
TO HELP YOU.
"A tenant can actually do most of these steps for themselves, but people are busy and sometimes the tenant and the leasing reps can't stand each other, so good luck coming to any peaceful agreement."
"So, this service is like a "go-between" or mediator in these situations, where one or both parties are fed up with the other and could benefit from a neutral person at least attempting to make it right for the tenant without any further bad blood, so everyone can just move on."
