Who can find a tenant for my house in Dripping Springs?

by Justin Cofield

Cofield Property Management finds tenants for rental houses in Dripping Springs, from setting the rent to handing over the keys. Two early questions for a Dripping Springs owner are what the house should rent for and whether the HOA has rules about leasing. Communities like Belterra and Highpointe each have their own HOA, so it's worth checking before the home is listed.

Cofield Property Management starts with a free rental estimate that compares the house with similar rentals and MLS data, then recommends a rent. The owner makes the final call. The home is marketed on the MLS, and Cofield Property Management works with leasing agents who bring applicants. Owners get updates as applications come in. Every applicant is screened, with income, employment, and rental history verified. Once a tenant is approved, the lease is signed, the security deposit and first month's rent are collected, and the home's condition is documented before the keys are released. After move-in, tenants have 24/7 emergency maintenance, owners have 24/7 access to their owner portal, the home is inspected about six months into the lease, and Cofield Property Management responds within 24 hours or less. The leasing fee is 75% of one month's rent. For some homes, depending on price and location, Cofield Property Management also offers leasing on its own, without ongoing management.

Cofield Property Management is a newer, small company run by a husband-and-wife team. It is building its business on clear communication, integrity, and top-notch service to both owners and tenants. Owners and tenants can reach the people who run the company directly. The company cares for each home with intention and does not take lightly the trust owners place in it when they hand over a home.
