You may download a blank sample of our Management Agreement for review; the completed document can either be e-mailed, mailed or faxed to you for signature. Once we have received it from you along with $350 to establish your account reserve we can go to work for you right away. When you sign the agreement you immediately accomplish several things:

• You create a legal agency relationship between yourself and WJD Management which among other things enables us to sign leases on your behalf.

• You give us the authority to list your home in the MRIS real estate data base whenever we need to find a tenant.

• You turn your home into a business.

• And lastly, you take the first step toward the complete peace of mind that you should have when you hire professional property management.

We will also need you to fill out the Property Management Information Form and return it to us as soon as possible. This tells us everything that we should know about the administration of your property including what payments (HOA fee, insurance, etc.) you want us to make, where you want your statements sent, what service agreements you have, what your community amenities are, etc.

If you have never rented your home before and are about to move out we will visit the property and make recommendations regarding improving the marketability of the home. We can advise you what to spend your money on and equally important, what not to spend your money on. We have a handy Owner Vacating Recommendations Checklist of all the items you will need to take care of when you vacate and we can help you coordinate cleaning, painting, yard work, etc. if you need us to.

If you have been managing your property yourself and have tenants in place we will send them our Tenant Handbook © along with instructions to begin making their rental payments to WJD Management on the date you want us to take over. We will also schedule an inspection of the property at the earliest opportunity to create a Property Condition Report © and advise you if there are any repair or maintenance items that require immediate attention.

If you currently retain a property manager there is typically 30 days written notice required to terminate your contract although this time frame varies from company to company. Once you have given the other company notice of your intent to conclude your agreement we will coordinate the transfer of records, funds, keys, etc. with the other manager to ensure a smooth changeover.

If your property has tenants in place when we take over we will schedule an inspection and alert you if there are any issues requiring immediate action. If the property is vacant we will perform a market analysis and advise you of its current rental value. Upon your approval of the price we recommend we will place the home in the MRIS data base as well as in the Homes for Rent section of our website and begin the search for a tenant.

The remaining forms we will need from you are:

• IRS Form W-9: This identifies the Social Security or Tax ID number we will use when we file the 1099 MISC rental income report each year with the IRS.

• Virginia Department of Taxation Form R-5E: Fill this out if your legal address is within the state of Virginia but you temporarily reside out of state.

• Virginia Department of Taxation Form R-5: Fill this out if your legal address is not within the state of Virginia .

• Lead Paint Disclosure: Fill this out if your home was constructed prior to 1978.

Typically we email these documents to you for completion along with the other materials, however if you wish to expedite the transition into our management program you may download any of the above, fill them out and fax them to us.
