Does BreakThru Realty manage rental property itself or refer it out?

It manages property itself. BreakThru Realty’s own licensed staff handle tenant placement and full management, including rent collection, maintenance through vetted vendors, renewals and monthly reporting, with one named contact for your property. Tenant placement alone is also available if you prefer to manage the tenancy yourself.

Can the monthly statements go straight to my business manager?

Yes. Statements, invoices, year-end summaries and approval requests go to whoever you designate in writing, whether that is a business manager, a family office or a relative. The same person can approve repairs within the limits you set, so the property keeps running when you are unavailable.

How are repairs approved when I am out of the country?

The management agreement sets a spending limit for routine work and emergency limits for problems that threaten the property. Anything above those limits is quoted first, and the itemized bid goes to you or your designated contact for written approval. Completed work is photographed and invoices are matched against the approved bid.

Can my home be leased furnished for part of the year?

Possibly, if the association rules, the city’s short-term rental regulations and your insurance allow it. Leases of six months or less are taxed as transient rentals in Florida, so tax registration and collection are part of the plan. BreakThru Realty checks the rules first and inventories the furnishings with the tenant.

How does BreakThru Realty screen tenants?

Against written criteria set before the home is advertised and applied identically to every applicant: verified income, rental history, and credit and background checks within legal limits, plus any association approval. Screening follows federal, Florida and local fair housing law, including local protections such as source of income in Miami-Dade County.

What happens at a managed rental when a hurricane is forecast?

The brokerage contacts the tenant about the storm duties in the lease, coordinates shutter installation where the owner has arranged it, keeps you informed and inspects the home once it can be reached after the storm, with photographs for any claim. It cannot promise vendor availability after a major storm, and it tells you so in advance.

Tenant placement and full management by BreakThru Realty’s own staff, reported to whoever runs your finances

Owning a rental home while you train, travel and possibly change teams works only if someone reliable runs it and reports to the right people. BreakThru Realty manages rental property in-house: placing tenants, collecting rent, arranging repairs through vetted vendors on bids you approve, handling renewals and sending statements to you or your business manager. The terms, the spending limits and who may authorize what are set in writing before the first tenant moves in.

Managed by the Brokerage, Not Passed Along

BreakThru Realty does not hand your property to an outside management company. The brokerage’s own licensed staff price the lease, show the home, screen applicants, sign the lease, collect rent and coordinate repairs, and one named contact is responsible for your property. Rent and security deposits are held in the brokerage’s escrow account under Florida license law rather than mixed with operating funds. Everything the brokerage will and will not do is written into the management agreement, including spending limits, how quickly you hear about problems and what happens if you sell or move the property to another manager.

Tenant Placement

Placement starts with a rent recommendation built from current lease listings and recently leased comparable homes, then photography, a listing in the multiple listing service and on the brokerage’s website, and showings by appointment. Applications are screened under written criteria, the lease is prepared on Florida forms with the addenda the property needs, and any association approval is handled for you. Before the tenant takes the keys, the home is inspected and photographed room by room, and the report is signed by the tenant, so the condition at move-out can be compared against a record rather than a memory. Placement can be ordered on its own if you would rather manage the tenancy yourself.

Screening Under Fair Housing Law

Every applicant is measured against the same written criteria, set before the home is advertised: verified income, rental history, credit and background checks within what the law allows, and the association’s own requirements where it approves tenants. Federal and Florida fair housing laws prohibit decisions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability or familial status, and some South Florida counties add further protections; Miami-Dade County, for one, protects source of income. Requests for assistance animals and other reasonable accommodations are handled under the law rather than a pet policy. An owner can set lawful criteria, but not preferences about who the tenant is.

Full Management, Month by Month

Once the tenant is in, full management covers the ordinary work of a tenancy. BreakThru Realty collects rent and enforces the lease’s late terms, logs and handles maintenance requests, inspects the home at intervals set in the agreement, serves any notice Florida law requires, negotiates renewals and rent adjustments with your approval, and manages the move-out: inspection, deposit accounting and turnover work. Association correspondence, violation notices and estoppel requests come to the brokerage and are answered, with anything unusual raised with you first. Owners receive a statement each month and a year-end summary that their accountant can use.

Vendors, Bids and Your Approval

Repairs are done by vendors the brokerage has checked for a current Florida license where the trade requires one, and for insurance. Above a spending limit you set in the management agreement, work is quoted before it starts, and the itemized bid goes to you or your business manager for written approval; for larger jobs, more than one bid is obtained. Completed work is photographed and the invoice is matched against the approved bid before it is paid. If you prefer your own vendors, the brokerage uses them. When a problem threatens the property, such as an active leak, the brokerage acts within emergency limits you agree to in advance and reports what it did straight away.

Reporting to Your Business Manager

Many athletes want financial reports to go to their business manager or family office rather than to them. BreakThru Realty sends monthly owner statements showing rent received, expenses paid with invoices attached, reserves held and anything outstanding, and a year-end statement for your accountant, to whoever you designate. Approvals can come from the same person, within the authority you set in writing. Access to documents is by secure link, and a question from your business manager gets the same answer and the same speed as a question from you. If the property is owned through a company your attorney set up, the reports are issued in that company’s name and sent to its address.

Managing While You Are Traded or Away

A trade, a long road trip or an international offseason should not stall a leak repair or a lease renewal. The management agreement names who can approve what, in which order, and by which channel, so the brokerage is never waiting on a player who is in a game or asleep in another time zone. Routine decisions follow the standing instructions; decisions outside them go to your designated contact first. If you are moved and decide to sell the property, the brokerage coordinates the sale around the tenant’s lease rights, which Florida law protects, and keeps the tenancy running smoothly in the meantime.

Furnished and Seasonal Leases

A furnished home can lease for a season rather than a year, but seasonal leasing is a different business. Florida treats any lease of six months or shorter as a transient rental, which adds the state’s sales tax and the county’s tourist development tax to the rent, and the owner needs to be registered to collect them. Several cities, Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale among them, regulate or restrict short-term rentals, and many associations set minimum lease terms that rule seasonal leasing out altogether. BreakThru Realty checks those rules before recommending a furnished lease, prepares an inventory of the furnishings signed by the tenant and makes sure the insurance fits a furnished rental.

Security Deposits Under Florida Law

Florida’s landlord-tenant law sets out how security deposits are held and returned, and BreakThru Realty follows it to the letter. The tenant receives written notice of where and how the deposit is held within thirty days of paying it. After the tenant moves out, the deposit is returned within fifteen days if there is no claim; if there is, written notice of the claim goes by certified mail within thirty days, and the tenant has a period to object. Claims are supported by the move-in and move-out photographs and by invoices, which is why the move-in inspection is done thoroughly. Florida also now requires a written flood disclosure in many residential leases, which the brokerage’s lease package includes.

Hurricane Season Coordination

Hurricane season runs June through November, and preparation for a rental home is coordinated long before a storm is named. Before the season, BreakThru Realty confirms that shutters or impact openings are in working order, that the lease states what the tenant must do when a storm threatens, and that the owner’s insurance details and emergency contacts are on file. When a storm approaches, the brokerage contacts the tenant, coordinates shutter installation through vendors where the owner has arranged it, and keeps you informed. After the storm, the property is checked as soon as it can be reached, with photographs for any insurance claim. Vendor availability after a major storm is limited everywhere, and the brokerage says so plainly.

Who Holds the Keys and the Codes

Access to a rental home is managed as carefully as its finances. BreakThru Realty keeps a log of every key, fob, gate card, alarm code and smart-lock credential, who holds each one and why. Vendors receive time-limited codes that expire when the job ends, rather than a permanent code or a key under a mat. Locks are rekeyed and codes reset between tenants. Alarm and camera administrator accounts stay in the owner’s name, with the brokerage holding only the access it needs to manage the property. If a key or code is lost, it is replaced and the log updated the same day.

Our Privacy Standard

A confidentiality agreement before the first conversation: Ask and a mutual non-disclosure agreement comes to you or your representative before any detail is shared, and it covers everyone at the brokerage who works on the file.
Your name stays out of our marketing: BreakThru Realty does not use a client’s name, likeness, team or transaction in its advertising, social media, website or press, before or after closing, unless the client asks for it in writing.
Showings by appointment with verified buyers only: When you sell, your home is shown only to buyers whose identity and proof of funds or pre-approval have been checked, by appointment, with personal items and photographs put away beforehand.
Address withheld from internet display where the MLS allows: A seller can ask for a listing’s address to be kept off consumer websites within the rules of the multiple listing service, and for interior photographs to leave out anything personal.
One point of contact: A single named contact at the brokerage runs the file, so your details are not passed around an office.
We work through your people: If you would rather we deal with your agent, manager, business manager, attorney or family office, that is the channel we use, and nothing is sent anywhere else.
Documents by secure link, wires confirmed by phone: Files are shared by secure link rather than as open email attachments, and wiring instructions are always confirmed by a phone call to a known number before any money moves.
