3. We’ll get your rental home move-in ready

Now the fun really begins. We’ve got your goals in sight, but it’s time to get your home sparkling for its new residents. 

Belong has a proud track record of attracting the best long-term residents for our homeowners. This starts with a home inspection to make sure people fall in love with your rental quickly and at the right price. 

We’ll inspect the functionality and safety of your home and provide you with a report on how to get the best possible rental income. These reports also ensure that all homes in our network are safe, and livable and don’t pose unnecessary liability risks for our homeowners. 

If you do need any repairs or maintenance work, we can connect you to a professional in our 10,000+ strong vendor network. You can even spread the costs over the term of your lease so you can get positive cash flow quicker. 

4. Sit back while your home is listed and loved

It’s time for your home’s close-up. First impressions count, so Belong will get expert photography and video of your home looking its very best (included in your management fee, no hidden charges here). 

Belong listings integrate with the most popular real estate sites — including Zillow, Zumper, Trulia, apartments.com, Craigslist, PadMapper, Hotpads and Rentable. This increases views for your home listing by 30-50% and we get an average of 29 qualified applications for every home listed.

Our integration speeds up the application process too. Applicants can submit their details from any site, feeding straight into the Belong system. This lets us contact and find the best resident faster than a traditional property manager could. 

5. Approve your perfect long-term residents

BelongPRO experts will handle all applications for your home, ensuring everyone is vetted fairly and legally. We’ll check employment, financials, references, and rental history. We are thorough. We don’t just run the numbers, we also speak to applicants to find the best fit for your home long-term. All you need to do is give the ok. 

Our long-term mindset means that more than two-thirds of Belong residents renew their 1-year lease. This provides stable, guaranteed income for homeowners and a house that stays in great condition. 

All residents are required to have renters insurance with liability coverage, for extra peace of mind. Belong also offers dedicated landlords insurance for homeowners to protect your all-important asset. 

What happens after your home is loved?

Seamless Lease Management and Resident Support

Once your trusted residents have moved in, our commitment to making your rental experience lovable doesn't stop. Belong provides a dedicated concierge service and a 24/7 support team to manage every aspect of the lease, ensuring both homeowners and residents have a stress-free experience.

• Lease Signing & Move-in: We handle all the paperwork and logistics, making the lease signing process smooth and efficient. We even work with your HOA (if applicable) and we ensure your residents enjoy a seamless move-in process.
  
• Repair and Maintenance: If your residents encounter any issues or maintenance needs during their stay, they can easily submit requests through their Belong account. Our team coordinates with skilled professionals from our extensive vendor network to address these concerns promptly.
  
• Move-Out Assistance: At the end of the lease term, when your residents decide to move out, we manage the entire process. This includes conducting move-out inspections, coordinating necessary repairs or maintenance to prepare the property for the next residents, and overseeing the turnover process.

Our comprehensive approach to lease management ensures that your rental property remains in excellent condition and continues to generate steady income. We handle all communication and logistics, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of hassle-free rental management.

With Belong, you can trust that your home is in good hands throughout the entire lease, from the moment residents move into the turnover process when they decide to move out. We're dedicated to making your rental experience truly lovable for both homeowners and residents.
