“Burn the Contract” Guarantee

If you are not satisfied, let us know and we will make it right. If we can’t, you can cancel our property management services at any time with no fees or penalties.

Eviction Protection Guarantee

GEM Realty works hard to ensure we are getting the best residents possible! We are proud of our screening process and resident oversight, if at any time we are in a position to have to evict your resident we will cover the costs of finding a replacement resident.

Resident Retention Guarantee

We pride ourselves in finding long term residents for your property and believe that you should not have to pay to rent your property twice in one year. Unless a resident is relocated due to military orders, we will replace a resident that breaks their lease within their first year for free.

Cost Control Guarantee

As your property manager, it is important to us that we communicate openly with you about costs and repairs at a property. Property repairs are inevitable, but that doesn’t mean you should be blindsided by unexpected expenses. We believe in ensuring our owners have approval of expensive repairs at their property outside of emergencies and habitability situations. At GEM Realty we value open communication and transparency!

No Vendor Mark-Ups Guarantee

We believe in maintaining trust, transparency and open communication with owners about property expenses. We do not earn profit off our vendors and choose them purely off their work and their competitive rate for you. We believe maintaining lasting relationships is more important than nickel and diming our clients.

Pet Protection Guarantee

In Virginia, nearly 70% of all renters own either a cat or a dog. Allowing pets into your home doubles your rental pool and allows for increased rental rates! Statistically, pet owners tend to have higher incomes and are more stable renters. We believe in finding the best renters for your property, and we guarantee if your property incurs pet damage due to a resident that we screened, and approved pet, we will cover up to $1,000 worth of damage!
