10 Ways Belong is Redefining Property Management in Florida

Belong has revitalized our Florida offering to be bigger and better than ever. We’ve been hard at work expanding our capacity and capabilities throughout Florida, to make sure we could commit to the best possible service to more neighborhoods than ever. This means after a brief hiatus, we’re back and ready to make waves across the rental markets of Miami, Tampa, Orlando. We’re also welcoming Jacksonville and Tallahassee to the Belong network for the first time. 

Because let’s face it, property management in Florida is more 80s than Miami Vice. And it hasn’t aged as well, either. Property management is transactional and the whole ‘landlords and tenants’ shtick is based on archaic views that don’t reflect the modern world of homeowners and residents. Whether you’re on that journey as a renter or a homeowner, it's full of stress, anxiety, headaches — and often ill will. Belong is back to change that.

Why Florida deserves much better than even the best property management experience

When looking for a place to call home, most people have experienced first-hand how terrible the traditional property management and the landlord-tenant relationship can be. It’s a long-held belief that this is a ‘zero-sum’ game; meaning landlords only benefit at the expense of their tenants. It’s accepted that property management companies can hide fees, offer poor communication to both sides and only ever be contacted after 5pm in an emergency. 

It’s incredible how dysfunctional these relationships still are in this day and age, given that renting is a universally shared experience.

This is the type of experience Belong is transforming across Florida. We’ve set about changing every aspect of renting that fails homeowners and residents (we’re even binning the terms landlord and tenant!). 

It’s not the easy route, but we're obsessed with eradicating the poor standards we’ve all come to expect and replacing it with something truly great. 

How Belong is changing renting across Florida 

Belong is on a mission to create authentic belonging experiences for those who own much-loved homes, and those longing for that feeling. We’re changing what it means to rent a home by putting people first. It’s where hospitality meets consumer real estate — and it’s about redefining an entire industry.

When comparing property management companies, you’ll be looking at a handful of differences between them all. How much do they charge for management fees and how often you are going to get slogged for more. With Belong, there’s no comparison. Because Belong isn’t a traditional property management company, it’s a completely unique experience that is humanizing the rental market. 

Here are 10 ways that Belong is redefining renting for homeowners in Florida:

1. Guaranteeing rent for homeowners, regardless of when it’s paid by residents
   
   
2. Providing real 24/7 concierge-level support for both homeowners and residents (not just logging maintenance emergencies)
   
   
3. Not charging hidden fees like setup costs and lease renewal charges
   
   
4. Providing cutting-edge marketing and video tours at no extra cost
   
   
5. Taking a human approach to placing the right long-term residents that match your home (and shielding owners from costly evictions if we ever get it wrong)
   
   
6. An app that puts everything at your fingertips — from documentation and cash flow insights to finance and insurance solutions 
   
   
7. Connecting you with the most expansive, vetted vendor network of more than 10,000 professionals that can handle everything from regular repairs to full renovations
   
   
8. Offering insurance solutions that protect you, your home, and your residents
   
   
9. Innovating financial solutions for managing cash-flow on your terms, letting you split the cost of repairs, maintenance, and even your placement fee
   
   
10. Using true market data in Florida and real-time interest from potential residents to maximize the value of your home
