How quickly can I expect a response from my Cary single point of contact Property Manager?

We have Trademarked the phrase “Chicago’s Responsive Property Manager™” and we take that term seriously. We track our teams’ email communications for initial response times. We also monitor the status through completion of any email requests received from both residents and clients (owners). Our owner's handbook, which we will share, states that we will be back to you the same day if you are in touch with us before noon CST, and by the next morning if after noon CST. However, more often than not, it is much quicker than that.

How long has your Cary Property Management company been in business?

GCR&D has been in business since 2003, and consists of 3 partners. Check out this article, https://www.gcrealtyinc.com/blog/what-our-companies-logo-stands-for, that goes in depth of our company history and what our logo stands for. We incorporated our firm in 2003 as an S-Corp and restructured it in 2006 as an LLC. We started our Property Management division in 2005.

Does the State of Illinois require a Property Manager to be licensed?

Yes, Property Managers perform tasks that are considered licensed activities. We have held our Managing Broker License since 2003. All licensed companies can be verified on the State of Illinois license lookup page.

Do you manage both short-term and long-term rentals in Cary?

At this time we only manage properties for owners who are seeking long term rentals. We do not manage any vacation rentals, AIRBNB, or furnished properties.

How long will it take to lease my Cary property?

If we price the rental rate to be in tune with what is going on in the local market and the property shows well we can generally rent your home in 3-4 weeks.

Will you advertise and show a property while it is occupied, or do you insist on properties being vacant before you will start advertising them for rent?

Prior to Covid19, we were beginning to market properties in advance of the current tenant moving out. This has currently been placed on hold for the remainder of 2020 out of an abundance of caution for our current tenants, potential tenants, and leasing team.
