Maintenance & Inspections
We hire licensed and insured people to clean, paint or make repairs when necessary and answer phone calls from tenants 24/7 and handle emergencies. Any work needed will be done by a licensed contractor. Blackbird Realty has vetted all the contractors normally needed for repairs at your property and have proof of general liability as well as worker’s compensation insurance for any contractor used.
We are licensed property managers and do not perform any maintenance. We leave that to the experts. Tenant safety and satisfaction are a priority.
Standard Maintenance Before/During Occupancy
- Every property that we manage has to be maintained. If it's in the house at move-in, it's going to be maintained.
- When we take over a property, we're going to have someone inspect it.
- When a tenant moves into a property, it has to be pest-free. That's part of the state law. We're going to get a pest control company look at the property because they are the ones that are qualified to tell us it's got a pest problem. It's going to happen between tenants and it's going to happen before we put a tenant into a newly acquired property.
- When a new tenant moves into the house, the locks need to be rekeyed when that tenant moves in. It's done for tenant security and it's done to limit your liability.
- If the property has a pool, we're going to want our pool vendor to service it. We know the capability of our pool vendor. In addition to any of the typical pools, we'll want to have a shepherd's crook and a pool skimmer at the property.
- The air conditioning and ventilation system of the house are essential systems. They need to be maintained. We're going to have our air conditioning person look at it twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Watch the Video
- Water heaters should be installed in a Smitty pan and have a drain. The water heater has to be up to code. It has to have earthquake straps.
Essentially, everything that's in the house needs to be up to code. Whenever we prepare a house for lease, we use state-licensed contractors. It's actually required by the statute. All of the contractors that we use are required to carry general liability insurance and workers' comp insurance.

Property Inspections
Early detection of water leaks, HVAC, or pest control problems can save hundreds of dollars.
- Property inspections are performed by licensed inspectors once a year to determine if any problems exist, usually after a tenant has resided in the property for 6 months.
- Photographs document the condition at the time of the inspection.
- In addition, walk through evaluations are accomplished at lease renewal.
Note: Property Managers are not allowed to perform “inspections” unless licensed as a Property Inspector, so any observations at the property and more of a property management evaluation which requires no license.

Licensed Broker and member REALTORS® in Nevada since 1991
Some people think and say that the most important service a Broker provides clients is knowledge of the marketplace. The truth is that the most important service a Broker provides to a client is an accurate accounting of the money being handled by the Broker. Owner, George W. Trombley started Blackbird Realty and Management, Inc.(BRMI) in 1994 after working in the real estate field for 3 years under Brokers only interested in selling real estate. Mr. Trombley is retired from the U.S. Air Force and learned how costly being an absentee owner can be if you are not working with a full time property manager. BRMI provides Clark County Nevada with excellent and affordable property management services, with a focus on single-family homes, condos/townhouses, apartments and office space. Since its inception, BRMI has handled thousands of transactions and currently manages hundreds of properties.

We think of everything so you don't have to
- Do you know what to do when the tenant stops paying the rent and claims it is because you stopped making repairs or won’t tell you why?!
- Do you have people you can call when the tenant informs you that the property is flooding? The answer isn’t your insurance agent. Do you know the water loss classifications?!
- Do you have time to take care of your “rental business” while working a full time job?!
- Are you aware of the State Laws regarding the use of licensed contractors.?!
- Do you know that insurance companies can deny claims and cancel coverage if home isn’t being maintained or if home is vacant?!
- Many self-managing owners don’t know what they don’t know, are you one of those?!
- Do you know the protected classes in the State and Federal Fair Housing Laws? There are 3 additional protected classes in Nevada that are not Federally protected classes!!
- Do you know what the market rent is for your property? Depending on sites like Zillow or Trulia alone for this information could be costly!
- Do you have the ability to run credit reports and do criminal back ground checks?!
- Do have good reasons to manage your own property and are those reason really worth all the risks?!
-
You can afford Blackbird Realty
- The costs of having a Las Vegas property manager are outweighed by the money a property manager saves you in lost rent. Vacant houses lose money daily. The less time a home is vacant, the less money you lose. Statistics show that homes that are professionally managed spend less time vacant!
- Regular Inspections and maintenance extend the life of appliances in the home and prevent little problems from becoming major expenses!
- If you think hiring a professional property manager is expensive, try hiring an amateur or doing it yourself!
