Step One:  Select a Property
Select a property you would like to view and contact us through our online submission form or call our office and arrangements will be made to best suit your schedule. We will accompany you to the showing so that we may answer any and all of your questions.

Step Two:  Pre-Qualification of Your Application
Pre-qualification of your application is made by our office with a number of different factor: rental history, credit report, employment verification and a background check.

Step Three:  Submitting Your Application
Submitting your application quickly for the property you are interested in is very important because we cannot ‘hold’ a property off the market. Once we have your completed application, proof of income, names of two previous landlords, a copy of your drivers license and $100 non-refundable cash application fee we will process you application as soon as possible.

Step Four:  Upon Application Approval
Upon application approval we will call you to schedule your lease signing. At your lease signing you will need to bring the agreed upon security deposit and first months rent in certified funds only. Your rent will be due on the first day of each month, made payable to Berry Realty Company.

Step Five:  Move In To Your New Home!
Berry Realty Company will be available to you for any questions and/or concerns you might have along the way concerning your property. Our Property Management division is available to you during office hours of 8 am - 5 pm and property emergencies 24/7.

Rental Application

Step One:  Evaluate and Assess
Evaluate and assess your property value and advise the best possible market rent for your property based on the location, features and condition of your home. We will recommend any necessary changes to your property to enhance marketability and attractiveness to tenants and obtain bids for any needed improvements from licensed and insured sub-contractors.

Step Two:  Advertise Your Property
Advertise your property with several national, local and corporate websites including www.BerryRealtyCo.com. We will also take out various ads in property managers bi-monthly newsletters, local newspapers and company mailers as well as post yard signs and directional signs where permitted.

Step Three:  Screen & Approve
Screen and approve prospective tenants with written documentation of their credit history, rental history, employment verification and background information. Tenant screening is a very important factor in the financial security of your property.

Step Four:  Prepare Our Lease Agreement
We prepare our lease agreement after hearing from you on several discretionary items such as pets, utilities, lawn maintenance etc. Our typical lease is a one year term that may be automatically renewed for the subsequent year(s) of tenancy.

Step Five:  Our Professional Management Team
Our professional management team takes great care with your investment; once we have a tenant in your property we collect rent proceeds, coordinate repairs and maintenance, complete midterm property maintenance assessments and provide a monthly comprehensive financial report. We keep detailed property records that include all monetary rental activity, maintenance records, digital photos and property assessment reports.

“We wanted to take the time to thank you and your team at Berry Realty for the outstanding job you have done and continue to do! Not only have we experienced great customer service, professionalism, and expeditious handling of business matters but also a sense of family ties. We have worked with over a half a dozen realty companies in the past 10 years and Berry Realty outshines them all!”

“This November/December, we began looking for new tenants for my property, and the property management group at Berry Realty handled the entire process extremely professionally. They were very responsive to any questions I had, and replied to my emails very promptly. This was such a breath of fresh air! We had new tenants lined up even before my old ones moved out! Incredible! Especially given the time of year we were searching for new renters. Though the house was empty for January, I knew that February 1 my new tenants would be moving in. We rest easy every night knowing that they will take care of anything that comes about. This is a great feeling for an owner so far away in Colorado.”

"I know that as homeowners, we value our investment and want our property to be kept in the best condition possible and we hope that the property manager and the potential tenant share in this same belief. The team of professionals at Berry Realty share in this same belief and work hard at getting you the right tenant. They have done a great job in getting the right tenant for my situation (I am currently overseas in the Republic of Panama) and I wanted someone who would appreciate, care and pay for the type of residence that I possess. What I like about Berry Realty is the personalized attention that I get from all the team (Ralph Cosentino - Property Manager, Holly Berry Cosentino, Angie Collins - Bookkeeper, and Rosalie - Customer Service/General Property Information), the promptness with which they answer my question or concerns, and the proactive way in which they get repairs done. This is very important for me since I am out of the country and am not able to assist my tenant directly. I have only had minor repairs and cleaning to the unit before the tenant moved in a couple of months after I left, but they have all been reasonable and the Berry Team has kept me informed on these matters. The costs of their managing the property will not come from Berry Realty, but from DeKalb County who will remove the homestead exemption and increase your taxes...
When I decided last year to rent out my home, I did not know who to call or much less trust with managing my property. Six months earlier, I contacted a realtor in our subdivision who never called back. After researching, I found that Realtors are not the best property managers because they don't manage properties but rather they sell and help you in purchasing them. This is where the money is for them. When I decided to move forward with my endeavoour, I prayed and asked God for guidance and I came across Berry Realty's sign and checked them out on the internet. I found them to be exactly what I needed, property managers who had been in this business for many years and who were well known in the community. This is a family-owned business made up of highly professional individuals who truly care about their customers. I highly recommend them to you and am glad to have been able to assist you with your concerns..."
