How to Get Started With GC Realty & Development LLC

Our Seamless Onboarding Process

From the moment the first form gets submitted to the day the listing goes live, here's exactly what happens, step by step.

1. 1

   1. Sign the Agreement and Kick Off

   The process starts with an e-signed management agreement and a kickoff call with the GC Realty team. You'll set your start date and provide the owner, tax, and banking details needed for monthly ACH payouts.

2. 2

   2. Set Up Your Owner Portal

   Your property is added to AppFolio, GC Realty's property management platform. Once it's set up, you'll have access to your owner portal, where you can view statements, documents, and work orders.

3. 3

   3. Review Your Insurance

   Before management begins, GC Realty reviews your landlord insurance policy to confirm it includes a leasing endorsement, $1 million/$2 million in liability coverage, and names GC Realty as an additional insured.

4. 4

   4. Fund the Maintenance Reserve

   A $750-per-unit reserve is funded so maintenance needs can be handled without waiting for additional payments. This helps keep approved repairs moving without unnecessary delays.

5. 5

   5. Complete the Rent-Ready Walk

   Once GC Realty receives the keys, a rent-ready walk is typically completed within 1 to 2 days. The team documents the property's condition with photos and provides a scope and estimate for work needed before listing.

6. 6

   6. Get the Property Market Ready

   After you approve the recommended work, GC Realty coordinates painting, cleaning, repairs, and lock changes. A final quality check is completed before the property moves on to photography and marketing.

7. 7

   7. Price and Market the Rental

   The property is priced using current comparable rentals, followed by professional photography and listing preparation. The rental is then syndicated through RentEngine to Zillow, Realtor.com, and other major rental sites.

8. 8

   8. Start the Leasing Process

   GC Realty handles showings, applicant screening, and lease execution. You'll also receive weekly leasing updates while the team works to get the property rented.

9. 9

   9. Complete Move-In and Begin Management

   Once a qualified tenant is placed, GC Realty handles the move-in process and rent collection. Owner payouts are sent between the 25th and 29th of each month, marking the transition to ongoing property management.
