Rent & Payments

See (Part IV, Section K of the Residential Property Management Contract)

1.5

Will you call me for all maintenance requests? Will you only call for maintenance requests over a certain amount, say $500? A minimum maintenance deposit is required from property owners and all the legitimate expenses will be paid from this account. In the event maintenance, repairs, or construction are required to be performed to the property in excess of that amount, we will notify you for approval. Unless otherwise noted, all work orders under $500 will be approved by management unless the owners notify management of denial of work order. Upon receipt of Denial, a plan of action must be determined by the owner and the management team and information provided to the resident within 48 hours.

Homeowner’s and Property Insurance/ Home Owner Association Fees. Insurance and HOA fees are not included in the management fee but upon homeowner’s request and authorization, we can include it in the monthly rental expenses and issue a payment on the owner’s behalf.

When will I get my first check?

Contact

We do! We access and inspect each asset on an annual basis and where needed, present you with preventative plans to keep your property in functional condition. As a partner, we can also offer you suggestions and feedback on upgrades and modifications that will affect both the rent you charge and the value of your property. Additionally, every 6 months we’ll meet with you either in-person, by phone, or virtually for semi-annual review.

Do you have free range to make repairs in the event of an emergency?

1.6

What is your standard practice for dealing with maintenance issues? Is there a certain amount of money I must provide up front to put into a maintenance/repair fund?

Of course! Your monthly owner statement will itemize and verify repair costs.

FAQ

What constitutes an emergency The contract authorizes us free range to respond to emergencies up to $500 without prior authorization. The average cost of a real heating, electrical or plumbing emergency will range from $300 – $500 and waiting for response would effect the tenant in an emergency situation. Emergencies are determined at our discretion.

If the property is vacant, the Owner will receive the first check 45-60 days after tenancy begins. For Tenant-occupied properties, the first check will be 30 days after account handover process is completed.

Do you provide an itemized list of all expenses?

When maintenance or repair service is required, we will contact the appropriate professional for the job by accessing either our in-house maintenance staff or our extensive network of licensed, bonded and insured contractors who have already been evaluated for good pricing and quality work.

Cost of Maintenance and Repair. Although FASS coordinates all the repair and maintenance services, we are not responsible for the respective payments. All maintenance fees are covered by the property owner. A start-up deposit is required from homeowners and all the legitimate expenses will be paid from this account. A quarterly revenue and expense statement will be issued. At the end of the year we will facilitate the preparation of your income taxes by issuing a special year-end account analysis report.

77 S. High Street, 20th Floor Columbus, OH 43215-6133 (614)

Ohio law permits a real estate agent and brokerage to represent both the seller and buyer in a real estate transaction as long as this is disclosed to both parties and they both agree. This is known as dual agency. As a dual agent, a real estate agent and brokerage represent two clients whose interests are, or at times could be, different or adverse. For this reason, the dual agent(s) may not be able to advocate on behalf of the client to the same extent the agent may have if the agent represented only one client.

• Assist both parties in completing the steps necessary to fulfill the terms of any contract, if requested.

• Suggest or recommend specific terms, including price, or disclose the terms or price a buyer is willing to offer or that a seller is willing to accept;

• Advocate or negotiate on behalf of either the buyer or seller;

• Provide market information available from a property listing service or public records, if requested;

IF LEGAL OR TAX ADVICE IS DESIRED, YOU SHOULD CONSULT THE APPROPRIATE PROFESSIONAL.

Management Level Licensees: Generally the broker and managers in a brokerage also represent the interests of any buyer or seller represented by an agent affiliated with that brokerage. Therefore, if both buyer and seller are represented by agents in the same brokerage, the broker and manager are dual agents. There are two exceptions to this. The first is where the broker or manager is personally representing one of the parties. The second is where the broker or manager is selling or buying his own real estate. These exceptions only apply if there is another broker or manager to supervise the other agent involved in the transaction.

Responsibilities of the Parties: The duties of the agent and brokerage in a real estate transaction do not relieve the buyer and seller from the responsibility to protect their own interests. The buyer and seller are advised to carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. The agent and brokerage are qualified to advise on real estate matters.

Consent: By signing on the reverse side, you acknowledge that you have read and understand this form and are giving your voluntary, informed consent to the agency relationship disclosed. If you do not agree to the agent(s) and/or brokerage acting as a dual agent, you are not required to consent to this agreement and you may either request a separate agent in the brokerage to be appointed to represent your interests or you may terminate your agency relationship and obtain representation from another brokerage.

As a dual agent, the agent(s) and brokerage shall not:

Compensation: Unless agreed otherwise, the brokerage will be compensated per the agency agreement.

• Engage in conduct that is contrary to the instructions of either party and may not act in a biased manner on behalf of one party.

Page466-41002of2 Effective 01/01/05 2.2

• Treat both clients honestly;

• Disclose latent (not readily observable) material defects to the purchaser, if known by the agent(s) or brokerage;

• Prepare and present all offers and counteroffers at the direction of the parties;

As a dual agent, the agent(s) and brokerage shall:

• Provide information regarding lenders, inspectors and other professionals, if requested;

DUAL AGENCY

• Disclose information that is confidential, or that would have an adverse effect on one party’s position in the transaction, unless such disclosure is authorized by the client or required by law;

Any questions regarding the role or responsibilities of the brokerage or its agents should be directed to an attorney or to: Ohio Department of Commerce Division of Real Estate & Professional Licensing

(Split Agency & Dual Agency – Model Policy)

Representing Buyers

When purchasing real estate, buyers usually choose to work with a real estate agent as well. Often the buyers want to be represented in the transaction. This is referred to as buyer’s agency. A brokerage and agent that agree to represent a buyer’s interest in a transaction must: follow the buyer’s lawful instructions, be loyal to the buyer, promote the buyer’s best interests, disclose material facts to the buyer, maintain confidential information, and account for any money they handle in the transaction.

Representing the Sellers

Most sellers of real estate choose to list their home for sale with a real estate brokerage. When they do so, they sign a listing agreement that authorizes the brokerage and the listing agent to represent their interests. As the seller’s agent, the brokerage and listing agent must: follow the seller’s lawful instructions, be loyal to the seller, promote the seller’s best interests, disclose material facts to the seller, maintain confidential information, act with reasonable skill and care, and account for any money they handle in the transaction. In rare circumstances, a listing broker may offer “subagency” to other brokerages, which would also represent the seller’s interests and owe the seller these same duties.

Representing Both the Buyer & Seller

CONSUMER GUIDE TO AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS

On occasion, the buyer and seller will each be represented by two different agents from the same brokerage. In this case, the agents may each represent the best interest of their respective clients. Or, depending on company policy, the agents may both act as dual agents and remain neutral in the transaction. When either of the above occurs, the brokerage will be considered a dual agent. As a dual agent, the brokerage and its managers will maintain a neutral position and cannot advocate for the position of one client over another. The brokerage will also protect the confidentiality of all Forparties.moreinformation

FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC

We are pleased you have selected FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC to help you with your real estate needs. Whether you are selling, buying or leasing real estate, FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC can provide you with expertise and assistance. Because this may be the largest financial transaction you will enter into, it is important to understand the role of the agents and brokers with whom you are working. Below is some information that explains the various services that agents can offer and their options for working with you:

Dual Agency

Occasionally, the same agent and brokerage that represent the seller also represent the buyer. This is referred to as dual agency. When a brokerage and its agents become “dual agents,” they must maintain a neutral position between the buyer and the seller. They may not advocate the position of one client over the best interests of the other client, or disclose any personal or confidential information to the other party without written consent.

Fair Housing Statement

Name (Please Print) Name (Please Print) Signature Date Signature Date 2.4

FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC does offer representation to both buyers and sellers. Therefore, the potential exists for one agent to represent a buyer who wishes to purchase property listed with another agent in our company. If this occurs, each agent will represent their own client, but FASS Real Estate Services LLC and its managers will act as a dual agent. This means the brokerage and its managers will maintain a neutral position and not take any actions that will favor one side over the other. FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC will still supervise both agents to assure that their respective clients are being fully represented and will protect the parties’ confidential information.

In the event that both the buyer and seller are represented by the same agent, the agent and FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC will act as a dual agent but only if both parties agree. As a dual agent, they will treat both parties honestly, prepare and present offers at the direction of the parties, and help the parties fulfill the terms of any contract. They will not, however, disclose any confidential information that would place one party at an advantage over the other or advocate or negotiate to the detriment of either party.

We hope you find this information to be helpful to you as you begin your real estate transaction. When you are ready to enter into a transaction, you will be given an Agency Disclosure Statement that specifically identifies the role of the agents and brokerages. Please ask questions if there is anything you do not understand.

When FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC lists property for sale, it also cooperates with, and offers compensation to, other brokerages that represent buyers. FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC does reserve the right, in some instances, to vary the compensation it offers to other brokerages. As a seller, you should understand that just because (brokerage) shares a fee with a brokerage representing the buyer, it does not mean that you will be represented by that brokerage. Instead, that company will be looking out for the buyer and FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC will be representing your interests. When acting as a buyer’s agent, FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC) also accepts compensation offered by the listing broker. If the property is not listed with any broker, or the listing broker does not offer compensation, we will attempt to negotiate for a seller-paid fee.

If dual agency occurs, you will be asked to consent to that in writing. If you do not agree to your agent acting as a dual agent, you can ask that another agent in our company be assigned to represent you or you can seek representation from another brokerage.

As a buyer, you may also choose to represent yourself on properties FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC has listed. In that instance, FASS Management Real Estate Services, LLC will represent the seller and you would represent your own best interests. Because the listing agent has a duty of full disclosure to the seller, you should not share any information with the listing agent that you would not want the seller to know.
