Our Property Management Process

  1. We Learn About Your Property

    We talk with you about your property, check its condition, and review your goals.

  2. We Take Over Smoothly

    We collect keys and records, then introduce ourselves to your residents.

  3. We Handle Early Needs

    We take care of urgent repairs, vacancies, and inspections right away.

  4. We Manage It All, Every Month

    We handle rent, repairs, leasing, and updates for you all year long.

CHA Property Management Support

Renting to residents with CHA housing vouchers means extra paperwork and inspections. We handle all of it for you.

  • CHA paperwork coordination
  • Request for Tenancy Approval support
  • Rent-offer and rent-determination coordination
  • Inspection scheduling
  • Inspection preparation
  • Deficiency correction coordination
  • Reinspection scheduling
  • Communication with residents, owners, vendors, and CHA representatives
  • Tracking subsidy and tenant-payment concerns
  • Lease and renewal coordination
  • Move-in preparation

We coordinate the process closely, but we cannot guarantee CHA approval, specific rent amounts, inspection passage, subsidy payment timing, or processing times, as these are determined by CHA.

Real Repairs. Real People. Real Fast.

  • Maintenance requests handled quickly
  • Licensed, insured vendors
  • Clear updates every step of the way

Maintenance and Vendor Coordination

Our maintenance process is built around organization, clear communication, appropriate escalation, and accountability — not guesswork.

  1. Resident submits a detailed maintenance request
  2. Our team reviews and prioritizes the request
  3. Basic troubleshooting is attempted when appropriate
  4. The appropriate vendor from our network is assigned
  5. Access is coordinated with the resident
  6. Owner approval is obtained according to the management agreement
  7. Progress is monitored until completion
  8. Invoices and updates are documented for the owner
  9. Follow-up is completed with the resident

Straight-A coordinates with an established network of independent, licensed vendors and contractors; not every contractor is a direct employee of the company.

This recently updated and incredibly spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom third-floor apartment is becoming available after the prior resident recently moved out and is being cleaned and prepared for its next resident, making it ideal for a late-September or October 1st move-in. The unit offers generous room sizes, newer vinyl flooring, an updated kitchen, an in-unit washer and dryer, and water included in the rent. The building is an older property that retains much of its original character, including older trim and traditional architectural details, while offering thoughtful interior updates. Heat is provided through a landlord-controlled boiler system with radiators throughout the building. Two existing window AC units will be provided for the tenant's use; tenants will be responsible for replacing them in the future if needed and for supplying any additional window AC units they may want. Located on the same block as the University of Chicago soccer field, the property is just minutes from the University of Chicago, Washington Park, the Obama Presidential Center, and public transportation. There is no dedicated parking included with the unit. The building continues to improve under newer ownership, with ongoing upgrades to common areas and future plans for additional exterior improvements. Voucher holders are welcome, and renters insurance and lease protection insurance are required.
