Property Management that's Built on Friendship and Teamwork

Charleston Home Rentals (CHR) was founded in 2006 by Matt Manaker, but it was a partnership with the Azar family in 2009 that began to shape the company as we know it today. The Manakers and Azars had been friends for over 30 years when they joined forces, and this has proven to transfer a unique chemistry to our business of property management.

Our team is committed to providing the highest level of customer service to all of our clients, and we do so by fostering harmonious landlord-resident relationships in which everyone's needs are met. All partners are very hands-on to ensure that they deliver on CHR’s Be Happy Renting promise. Oversight from our partners focuses on the aspects of property management that we deem most important…

• Make it easy for interested property owners to get information
• Conduct an analysis of a property’s rental value
• Find a qualified resident as soon as possible
• Make communication convenient for owners and residents alike
• Respond quickly to questions and repair & maintenance concerns

How the Process Starts

Matt Manaker, Partner, Business Development

Matt Manaker is personally responsible for communicating with owners interested in our approach to property management. The process always starts with an evaluation of a property’s rental value. Through a comparison of the hundreds of properties we currently manage, an accurate rental range can be provided. Interested property owners can request an analysis of their home’s rental value online or can simply reach out to Matt directly to get started.

Finding a Qualified Tenant Quickly

Ben Azar, Partner, Leasing

Once a rental value has been determined, Ben Azar’s goal is to help owners generate rental income as soon as possible. Ben oversees leasing and leverages technology to make it easy for renters to schedule a showing of a property and apply online. CHR guarantees an approved applicant in 30 days of the property being rent ready*, or we waive a month’s management fee for every 15 day period beyond that without an approved application. 

*More details on "rent ready" available upon request.

Convenient Communication & Quick Response Times

Once a property is leased, the CHR team is equipped to communicate with both the owner and resident in a variety of convenient ways and respond in a timely fashion…

• Our sophisticated phone system enables callers to connect with the right person quickly versus routing them through a frustrating automated process.
• In addition to phone and email support, residents and property owners can make requests through our online portals which are easily accessible from our website.
• The resident portal offers the ability to pay rent online, schedule an auto-draft, submit a work order and view important documents like their lease.
• The owner portal provides data on every financial transaction including rent charges and receipts, owner payments and any maintenance expenses that may occur.
• Owners also receive weekly reports of leasing activities.
• We have even developed a handbook for residents and owners to address common questions. We are striving to proactively address various topics before they even become an issue.

Josh Azar, Partner, Repairs & Maintenance

When an issue does arise, Josh Azar is responsible for repairs and maintenance. Our team knows that a quick response is critical to keep the resident happy and to protect the owner’s property. In addition to online requests, we offer a 24/7 maintenance call center to facilitate this.

Our Qualified Team Delivers

CHR has been in business for 12 years and the partners have close to 35 years of experience in the industry. Even so, we are continually looking for ways to improve the renting experience for our owners and residents alike. For example, an industry standard is to have one staff member manage 60 homes. We have capped this at 40 homes to deliver the level of customer service that our owners and their residents deserve.

As you are considering local property management companies, be aware that you get what you pay for ultimately. Experience has shown that our team's overall approach results in happy residents, long-term occupancy and limited vacancies.

Our philosophy is that all parties in a rental agreement should Be Happy Renting. We are confident in our ability to find a qualified resident for your property. Simply contact us today for a free no-obligation rental analysis to get the process started.

If you are an agent working with an owner in need of property management services, we have an Agent Referral Program. You will be rewarded for closed referrals. 

Agent Referral Program: New Tools and Features

The relationships that we have built with Charleston area real estate agents are extremely important to us. We strive to be the obvious choice for real estate professionals who care about long-term client relationships. Agents trust us to treat their clients well. They also trust us to send a client back when the client is ready to list. And since referral relationships require a high degree of trust, we think it is important to say “thank you” to agents as much and as often as we possibly can.

New Agent Referral Program Features

Our Agent Referral Program is one of many ways in which we can express our appreciation for the trust that agents put in us. In 2017, we added a cumulative referral fee to that program. Now, agents can earn more by referring more…

• We pay $500 for your first vacant property referrals.
• Or we pay $250 for your first occupied property referral.
• And with the new cumulative referral fee, your rewards increase by $100 for each new referral during a calendar year. For example, an agent who refers three vacant properties in one year would earn a total of $1,800.

We take this reward system seriously for a few reasons…

• We know that agents have a strong incentive to list properties.
• We appreciate that you are willing to put client interests first.
• And we also appreciate that you trust us to do the same.

Ensuring New Clients Remain Attached to Referring Agents

You can visit our Agents Page to submit referrals electronically, but we also understand that many property owners may choose to reach out to us directly. Regardless of how we get in touch with a client, we want to make sure that we know the source of that business. As such, we’ve added “Referring Agent” fields to all of our contact forms, and we’re diligently managing our internal tracking system to ensure that our clients remain attached to their referring agent.

---

New Tools to Make Client Referrals Easier

And since we know that many property owners want to do their own due diligence, we’ve created two new tools to make the referral process easier for you…

• CHR Brochures – Brochures are a great take-away for prospects who aren’t quite ready to sell. Brochures feature information about our Free Rental Analysis, which is a valuable tool for agents and property owners alike.
• Property Owner Page – We have also created a new landing page on our website that is specifically designed for property owners who are working with a referring agent. We recommend directing prospective clients to www.behappyrenting.com/generate-rental-income after a meeting, in a follow-up email. That way, clients receive the high-touch service they desire from you paired with everything they need to know about CHR, including our Free Rental Analysis.

CHR brochures are a great take-away. Request a delivery for your office with the form below.

Our property owner page with a video message from Matt Manaker is easy to share.
