Property Management
We are a property management firm that has been in business since 1970. The business was founded by Merlin Bushert. He successfully operated the business for 50 years along with his wife, Carol Bushert, where he retired and turned the business over to Beth Newton. Carol is still actively working for the business. We have an office which is open Monday - Friday 9:00 - 4:00 and is convient for tenants to come and pay rent or discuss any kind of situation that may arise.
We manage close to 300 rental units in the Berrien County area. Our experienced staff screens prospective tenants for filling available rental units that come up for rent. We know and abide by the statues of Michigan on the "lock out law", security deposit law and the Truth in Renting Act. We are able to complete evictions for you along with an attorney that we have hired for a special rate.
Our management fee is 10% of all monies received. When rent monies are received, you should receive your check from us within 5 days. At your request, we will pay mortgage payments, taxes, insurance and any other obligations, out of your account. We can also deposit your funds into your bank account , if you want us to.
We field all telephone calls on repairs, complaints, etc and will call your repair man or use our best judgment as to who should be called. We have maintenance men available, if you do not have your own. We charge $50.00 per hour plus any materials.Your contact information is kept private and tenants will not contact you with problems. As being owner of the property, you are responsible for all expenses that occur. We do our very best to take away any stress of owning rental property.
