# Rental Property Management for Homeowners in Bethesda, Silver Spring, Washington DC and Northern Virginia

Rental property management from a licensed brokerage with more than 20 years in the market. Real Estate Search and Sale, LLC leases and manages single-family homes, townhomes and condominiums for owners who live nearby, out of state or overseas.

[**Call Our 24-Hour Desk: 202-630-5070**](tel:+12026305070)

## What We Handle

- Rent estimates based on comparable rentals
- Marketing the home and showing it to prospective tenants
- Applicant screening using the same written criteria for every applicant, in line with fair housing laws
- Leases, move-in and move-out inspections, and security deposits handled as local law requires
- Rent collection and monthly statements
- Repairs and maintenance through our vendor network, with your approval on larger jobs

We manage occupied rental homes. We don't provide vacant-home caretaking. We don't provide legal or tax advice; please consult an attorney or tax professional about landlord obligations and rental income.

## Places Nearby

Rental homes we manage are close to places tenants look for:

- **Pike & Rose, North Bethesda MD**: shops, dining and the North Bethesda Metro station
- **Capital Crescent Trail, Bethesda MD**: the paved trail linking Bethesda to Georgetown
- **Downtown Silver Spring MD**: the AFI Silver Theatre, Ellsworth Drive and the Silver Spring Metro
- **Clarendon and Ballston, Arlington VA**: restaurants and shops along the Orange and Silver Line corridor

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Can you manage my home if I live out of state or overseas?**  
Yes. Many of the owners we work with live far away and follow along by email, phone and online statements.

**How do you choose tenants?**  
We apply the same written screening criteria to every applicant and follow federal, state and local fair housing laws.

**Who approves repairs?**  
Routine repairs follow the limits in your management agreement. Larger jobs come to you for approval first.

**Can I sell the home later?**  
Yes. We can help you sell when the time comes, with or without a tenant in place, respecting the lease.

**Can I get references?**  
Yes. We provide a list of client and professional references on request.
