Owner FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Aren't all property management companies basically the same?
No. Many property management companies only provide limited services for discounted pricing; some firms are designed for owners who like to be very involved in the day-to-day management of their homes; and some firms (like Kuntz Property Group) are Full Service firms designed to give owner-clients a full service, stress-free, hands-off experience, where we handle ALL aspects of the property management cycle with professionalism and expertise. Property Management in Florida is legally complex, and you want a professional overseeing what may be your most valuable asset. As you consider partnering with a property management company, be sure to ask them the following questions:- Is each individual property manager licensed? (All Kuntz Property Group Property Managers are fully licensed and go through a detailed internal and ongoing training process)
- What if I want to cancel my service with you? (Most property management companies have long term contracts with expensive termination fees. Kuntz Property Group offers the only month-to-month contract in the industry with no termination fees or penalties; because we believe that we should earn your business every day and you should have the flexibility to leave if you want to.)
- What "other" fees could you charge me? (Many property management companies have hidden fees for things like paying bills, eviction services, dealing with HOAs, etc. Kuntz Property Group does not charge for any of those services; they are part of our full service management service.)

Does a property manager need to be licensed in Florida?
Any company that offers any type of property management service must be licensed in Florida.
The state of Florida has multiple requirements that must be fulfilled before they will grant a real estate license to the company and the company must be licensed to practice real estate or property management in Florida. Most property management companies meet these requirements, but most individual property managers do not. Be sure to ask your property manager if they are personally and individually licensed to practice property management in Florida. (All Kuntz Property Group Property Managers are personally licensed and fully trained to practice property management in Florida. Confirm that your property manager is licensed [here]. -

How do I get my money each month?
We close out the monthly accounting cycle and do a direct deposit of your funds on the 10th day of each month. You will be paid via ACH. -
Should I leave behind my washer and dryer?
You must maintain any personal property you leave behind. That means that if you provide it, you must fix it when it breaks. Therefore we recommend our owners only leave well-functioning washers & dryers in the property. -
Can I be involved in the selection of a tenant?
No. You can trust us to minimize the risk of placing a poor quality tenant. Our applicant screening process has processed over thousands of applicants and we know exactly what to look for in a high quality tenant-resident. We comply with all fair housing rules and regulations as well as Florida applicant screening laws. -
Do I have to accept pets in my rental?
Although you do NOT have to accept pets in your rental, over 70% of Florida tenants come with pets. That means that if you choose NOT to accept pets, you are reducing your prospective inquiries by 70%. We do recommend our owner-clients allow pets, and we require tenants to pay pet rent every month. -
How do I access my financial reports?
Our owner-clients have a secure online portal which gives 24/7 access to financial reporting. You may login to your portal HERE
