LANDLORD OF THE YEAR FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ReMax First Recognized as Landlord of the Year Good Landlords of Blount County met in Judge William Brewer’s courtroom Monday evening and honored ReMax First as the Landlord of the Year for 2010. “I’m particularly proud of all our members, “stated Gary Heath, president of Good Landlords, “they are very informed and knowledgeable regarding the laws governing the landlord / tenant relationship. They spend much less time in court dealing with unwanted tenants than less informed investment property owners.” “One of the best ways to be successful in the rental business is to attract good tenants; knowing who you are handing a key to can prevent a great deal of trouble down the road. No landlord enjoys evictions; it’s a cost of both time and money, and can ultimately affect the cost of rents for the good tenants. No landlord wants to deal with tenants that damage their properties or do not pay their rents. The best way to avoid these pitfalls is to know as much as you can about a new tenant before they move in. Providing resources for obtaining important information about prospective tenants was one of the primary reasons we formed Good Landlords of Blount County to start with,” Heath stated. “Good Landlords of Blount County was formed in 2004 to reduce a string of bad tenants that were abusing the system, living at one place long enough to be evicted for non-payment of rent then moving on to another uninformed landlord where the cycle started over again,” Heath explained. “The group shares information and ideas on being a better and more efficient landlord. Our information services, credit reports, back-ground checks, eviction records, public records and our tenant data base provides landlords with the opportunity to learn a whole lot more about the people that move into their properties. By working together, we have reduced the number of court appearances for our members,” Heath added. We have so many good landlords and property managers, picking one to recognize as the Good Landlords “Landlord of the Year” was tough. The selection was based on the number of reports completed for the member during 2010, as well as meeting attendance and legibility of forms completed. ReMax First received over fourteen hundred reports on prospective tenants in 2010. Currently Good Landlords has close to three hundred members from Blount and surrounding counties, and is one of the largest property owner groups in the area. Our members represent over six thousand of Blount Counties eleven thousand rental units.
