How quickly can you rent my home?
Renting out your home successfully is all about how much visibility it gets. At Holtzman, we combine the strengths of digital marketing to maximize your property's exposure, encourage application submissions, and ultimately secure reliable residents.
Our experience has shown us that it's not about how much time passes, but rather about how many potential residents view your home. That’s why our primary goal is to increase the foot traffic to your property. Currently, our marketing efforts attract over 9,500 unique visitors to our website each month. It's this robust traffic that leads to property viewings, then to applications, and eventually culminates in securing a well-qualified resident for your rental property. We're all about transforming visibility of your property into tangible results.

How much should I budget for maintenance?
The cost of maintenance for your rental property can vary depending on factors such as the age and size of your home. However, a general rule of thumb in the industry is to anticipate annual maintenance costs to be around 1% of your property's value. This estimate, of course, can fluctuate based on the specific conditions and needs of your property. -
Can I choose the resident once Holtzman has done the screening?
We uphold a firm commitment to privacy and fairness. As such, we do not disclose any details from a resident's application to property owners. All application approvals are handled internally by our experienced team, adhering strictly to the Fair Housing guidelines. We aim to ensure a fair and equitable process for all involved. -
How do you screen applicants?
