Owners' Frequently Asked Questions
Owner FAQs
How do you market my rental home
We feature all of our available listings on our website, and we use other online platforms such as Zillow, Trulia, Craigslist, Realtor.com, Google, Hotpads, and more than 50 other rental sites. We also have excellent relationships with other property managers, real estate agents, and relocation companies to help us fill your vacancy quickly.
How do you choose tenants for my property
We screen all applicants consistently and carefully. Our process is rigorous and includes credit checks and a review of any prior evictions or unlawful detainers. Then, we verify income and employment and conduct rental reference checks with current and previous landlords. The result is a well-qualified tenant with a great track record.
How do you collect and pay me rent?
Our innovative online payment system allows us to collect rent on time from tenants every month. Once we have the payment, we will send you your rent electronically, eliminating the hassle and wait of paper checks. We’ll also provide you with accounting statements that carefully document all the income and expenses associated with your property.
How do I know my property is in good shape?
We conduct thorough move-in and move-out inspections and take more than 75 pictures. You’ll be able to log onto your online portal and see inspection reports, review maintenance requests, and check invoices. Our routine and emergency maintenance responses are fast and thorough, and we always keep you informed of what’s going on at your property.
What if I’m unhappy?
We are so confident that you will be satisfied with our services that we offer a 90-day guarantee. If you are not satisfied with our services we will provide you with a full refund of your management fees.

Helen Reid
Jody and the team at Stowers Property Management have been managing my property for the last couple of years. I could not be happier with the service and support they have provided. Jody is highly professional, he provides great advice and a balanced perspective on issues ranging from finding prospective tenants to upgrades and general maintenance of the property. The team is very responsive and always keeps me up to date on all matters related to my property. I would highly recommend Jody and his team for anyone looking for property management services.
Aakash Hariom Keswani
We have been working with Jody and Stower’s Realty for 4 years now for renting/ managing our properties and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. From the start, they were responsive, organized, professional, and clearly acting as if the property were their very own. From selecting great tenants to looking out for repairs to keep the property in top condition, we’ve grown to trust Jody’s team and could not recommend them more highly!

Beverly sadler
Jody has managed my property for four years. He treats the property as if it were his own. Since I do not live locally, I could not keep the property if I did not have him. He is responsive to both me and the renter and takes care of every detail with no effort on my part. He is the best.👏
