Rent payments

Hi Tenants!

Now that we are in the middle of February, most tenants have paid rent!

Some have even paid for March already (way to go!)

Some have not even paid February, which was due on the 1st….

When asked “when will rent be paid?” some tenants respond with “when this gets done, I will pay rent”, this is NOT a valid reason to withhold rent.

Keeping the line of communication open with your property manager is the best thing to do. Not letting your property manager know your situation, when you plan to pay, and/or avoiding calls/messages/emails will only cause more problems.

Make sure to update your property manager with issues and changes.

The owner has to be updated promptly on why rent was not paid on time, when it will be received, etc.

We understand sometimes there are situations that cannot be avoided. We will try to work with you first, it is in your best interest and ours for you to pay rent, whether it be on time or a few days late. But when rent becomes 5, 7, 10, days late, etc., we are obligated by our commitment to the owner to resolve the situation and that could mean a 3 day notice being posted on the property.

Here are some other things to keep in mind:

  • Paying on time will go toward potential rental references in the future
  • Rent goes to maintenance needed/completed at the property
  • You don’t have any utilities to pay if you are evicted for not paying rent
  • Putting your best foot forward will show goodwill for a possible lease renewal
  • Raise your credit score (Bonus!)
  • Avoid late fees (Always a good thing)
  • Avoid 3 day notice to vacate / eviction (big no-no & follows you for years!)
  • SOMETHING IS BETTER THAN NOTHING, paying a partial amount and the rest at a later date is better than not paying anything.

In summary, pay rent on time and TALK TO YOUR PROPERTY MANAGER.

What To Do On A Sunny Day In Pensacola

Barrons Property Managers is proud to be a part of the Pensacola Community and all the great things that Pensacola has to offer. Check out some of our favorite places to go and things to do. Our rental properties are located all over the Gulf Breeze, Pensacola, Pensacola Beach, Navarre, Milton, and pace areas. You will never be far from all the fun activities while renting with Barrons Property Managers

Reasons to live in the Pensacola area are ample and some of the best in the country. If you are new to the area, make sure to check out these great local attractions!

  • The Graffiti Bridge: The 17th Avenue railroad trestle bridge was built in 1888. A local Pensacola landmark, people have been painting the bridge for generations and the paintings change daily. Graffiti coats every square inch of the little bridge, so that the art has moved outwards into the parking lot nearby and the railroad ties above. As with most graffiti, it’s not strictly legal, but the Pensacola community seems to have accepted the bridge and the art on it as a local landmark. Police largely look the other way as they drive past the nightly taggers.
  • Naval Air Station Pensacola Museum of Naval Aviation: Experience hands-on history at the National Naval Aviation Museum located on board Pensacola Naval Air Station. See more than 4,000 artifacts and over 150 beautifully restored aircraft representing Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard aviation. Experience the thrill of flight in the Flight Simulators, catch all the drama and power of the amazing Giant Screen Digital Theater and refresh with a tasty lunch in the authentic Cubi Bar Cafe. Then take home the spirit of Naval Aviation with a unique memento from The Flight Deck Store.
  • The Fish House & Atlas: The Fish House is local, dockside dining overlooking beautiful Pensacola Bay and Seville Harbor. Just steps away from Historic Seville Square, our award-winning restaurant features an inventive menu of fresh, daily seafood selections, house-smoked steaks, sushi, a handpicked wine list with over 300 wines
  • Casino Beach Bar and Grill: Island vibes, live entertainment and beautiful Gulf views take you to a place where time doesn’t matter. Don’t worry about brushing the sand off of your feet; just walk straight up from the water and have a good time. As iconic as the beach ball water tower, this location has no age, but it has quite a history.
  • Bands on the Beach: Pensacola Beach’s popular outdoor summer concert series, Bands on the Beach, features a lineup of performers sure to please every musical taste. Located in the beautiful Gulfside Pavilion overlooking the Gulf of Mexico, the series features regional artists performing a wide variety of music. Bring your lawn chair and join us every summer for hot music, smooth grooves and a whole lot of good times. Bands on the Beach is at 7 p.m. and begins the first Tuesday in April and ends the last Tuesday in October.

Why Should You Hire a Property Manager?

Spring and summer are the most popular times of the year for properties to be rented. Managing your own rental property is a great way to lose your mind, to say the least. With Pensacola area schools being out for summer, and Navy or Air Force orders coming and going, an experienced property manager makes your life easier.
Barrons Property Managers is an exclusive property management company. Our goal is to provide you with the best service. Barrons Property Managers keeps your tenants happy, completes maintenance items and collects rent, which all take the stress away from you and your daily life.
The number of people who are choosing to rent instead of buying a home is steadily rising. Many renters are looking to move into a property quickly. Having the properties rent ready before allowing viewings is essential to make this possible. We have a team of dedicated property managers and vendors that are ready to make both your life, and the tenant’s life better.
Our staff participate in several training programs that cover fair housing, safety, on-line payments, cloud based electronic signatures, and more. We are an active member of NARPM, National Association of Residential Property Managers. NARPM is an organization of professionalism, licensed property managers who promote professionalism, education, ethics, and the best industry practices. We are constantly working to improve the system for our renters and our owners.

The Showing Process

The old days of making an appointment and showing up late due to traffic are over. The self- viewings lock box system Barrons Property Managers uses is secure, fast, and assists in renting your home.

While many owners believe this is a way for property managers to do less work, it is a highly effective way to exhibit the property, all the while allowing for more prospective tenants to view the property. Barrons Property Managers has successfully rented properties in the Pensacola, Gulf Breeze, Navarre, Milton, and Pace areas through this self-viewing system. The tenants loved the option to view the property whenever they can, within specified lock box hours.

The self-viewing process is as secure as showing it yourself. Barrons Property Managers will get contact information along with identification information. The prospective tenant will then receive a text message with a one- time use lock box code to access the property. After viewing the property, they will be contacted regarding any questions or concerns they may have, and how to apply.

For more information on how the self-viewings process Barrons Property Managers uses to showcase your properties works, feel welcome to contact us at 850-934-2588 or email us at notify@BarronsPM.com
