Hammock Realty, LLC will manage your property for you. We will take care of every step in the rental process from listing your home for rent to the final move out inspection at the end of the lease.

We will present you with a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) of what homes are currently listed for and will discuss with you your options regarding pets, furniture, lease terms and any concerns you have.

Your home will be listed on the MLS for optimum exposure, advertised in "The Home Finder" and put on our web page.

A sign will be placed in the yard with flyers and contact information.

Anyone interested in renting your home will fill out an application, have employment and salary verified, and a credit check will be preformed.

Prior rental history is verified, references requested and criminal activity in Escambia County is checked.

If the prospective tenant meets the criteria set, then contact is made with you to discuss whether or not you will approve or deny the application. The choice is yours.

We will collect a security deposit and pet deposit as applicable and hold these funds in a non-interest bearing escrow account.

We will collect the monthly rent and mail it to you. A late fee of $100 for rent paid later than 3 days after rent due date.
