We Don’t Cut Corners: Our Property Standards Explained

We Don’t Cut Corners: Our Property Standards Explained

Why Quality Matters — For You, Your Tenants, and Your Investment

At Edisto Property Management Group, we’re proud to say we do things differently. We believe that quality homes attract quality tenants — and that starts with setting high standards for the properties we manage.

While we love helping owners grow their portfolios, we also know that not every home is immediately rent-ready. Sometimes, properties need a little work to meet the standards we believe are necessary to protect your investment and reputation.

Here’s what that means — and why it matters.


🏡 What “Rent-Ready” Means to Us

To maintain a consistent level of excellence for our tenants and clients, we look for the following minimum standards before listing a home:

   1.) Functional and safe HVAC systems (preferably central heating and air)

   2.) Sturdy roofs and windows that don’t leak or rattle

   3.) Doors and locks that function properly for security

   4.) No visible mold, major stains, or exposed wiring

   5.) Working appliances, plumbing, and electrical systems

   6.) Safe, secure exterior — including fencing, stairs, and lighting

   7.) No major cosmetic damage like peeling paint, broken blinds, or overgrown yards


💡 Why These Standards Matter

Properties that fall below these standards often:

    1.) Attract unqualified or high-risk tenants

    2.) Lead to higher maintenance costs and turnover

    3.) Sit vacant longer and underperform on rent


    4.) Lead to greater maintenance cost after move-in


By requiring a minimum condition level, we help you maximize rent, reduce risk, and build a portfolio you can be proud of.


🧰 Our Role in Helping You Get There

If your property isn’t quite where it needs to be, we don’t just say “no” — we show you how to fix it.

We can coordinate make-ready repairs, help prioritize cost-effective upgrades, and guide you toward rentability in weeks, not months. Whether it’s replacing a window unit with central HVAC or fixing deteriorating exterior paint, we’re here to help you make smart, strategic improvements.


👷 We Only Manage What We Can Stand Behind

Think of it like this: If we wouldn’t let our own family live there, we won’t rent it to someone else’s.

And in the long run, that protects your asset — legally, financially, and reputationally.


🔭 Not Sure Where You Stand?

If you’re unsure whether your rental meets our criteria, we’re happy to walk it, assess it, and give honest feedback — no pressure.

At Edisto Property Management Group, our standards are high because we want to offer the best possible experience to Orangeburg residents.
