Welcome to Doud Realty Services, Inc.
At Doud Realty Services, Inc., we are a full-service residential property management company grounded in something most management firms cannot offer: genuine ownership experience. Since the late 1990s, we have built and managed our own rental property portfolio, which means we understand firsthand the real financial stakes of a vacant unit, the urgency of placing qualified tenants, and the discipline required to keep an investment property well-maintained and consistently profitable.
That experience is what inspired us to launch Doud Realty Services, Inc. after finding that existing property management companies in the market were overpriced and underdelivering. We set out to do it better, and we have been proving that commitment to property owners ever since.
Our team also brings an extensive military background to everything we do, allowing us to serve active duty and transitioning military members with the speed, structure, and reliability their situations demand. Whether you are a local investor or a service member navigating a Permanent Change of Station, our residential property management services are designed to protect your asset, maximize your rental income, and give you the peace of mind that comes from working with a team that truly understands what is at stake.

Marketing
Putting your property in front of the right renters requires more than a listing. We conduct a thorough market analysis for every property we manage to position it competitively, attract qualified tenants quickly, and maximize your return on investment from day one.
Tenant Screening
Every applicant goes through an extensive screening process so that only the most qualified tenants are placed in your property. We handle everything from move-in coordination to rent collection to maintenance requests, so your investment is protected at every stage of the tenancy.
Rent Collection
Getting paid on time should never be something you have to chase down or worry about. We manage the entire rent collection process so that your income arrives consistently and your bank account reflects the reliable return your property is meant to deliver.
Maintenance
We perform detailed move-in and move-out inspections with full documentation of your property's condition at every transition. All maintenance issues are addressed promptly through our trusted network, keeping your property well maintained and your tenants satisfied.
Financial Reporting
Staying informed about how your investment is performing has never been more straightforward. Through your dedicated owner portal, you can log in at any time to review detailed financial statements and gain a clear, up to date picture of your property's performance.
Eviction Protection
When an eviction becomes necessary, we are ready to act. We cover the cost of a simple uncontested eviction to protect your investment and minimize disruption, so you are not left navigating a stressful legal process on your own. Some restrictions apply.
Requirements
Applicants must be 18+, earn at least 3x the monthly rent, and have a verifiable rental and utility history. We review each application individually. Pets and service/support animals require a separate screening.
Why Hire Us VS. Self-Managing
Schedule a Call-
You will make more money and spend less time maintaining your investment.
Property management is not the expense most owners assume it to be. When you partner with a team that understands ownership from the inside out, you benefit from higher quality tenants who stay longer, fewer costly repairs, and a rental income stream that consistently performs. The investment in professional management pays for itself many times over.
-
Eliminate the constant stress of doing it all yourself.
Managing a rental property on your own can quickly become a second job. Coordinating repairs, fielding tenant complaints, chasing rent payments, and scheduling vendors takes time, energy, and patience that most property owners simply cannot afford to give. Handing these responsibilities to an experienced property management team means you keep the financial rewards without sacrificing your time and peace of mind.
-
A better screening process means better tenants.
Our application process goes further than the standard background check. We leverage professional screening tools and an extensive network of resources to evaluate more candidates with greater precision. The result is a higher caliber of tenant placed in your property and in many cases we already have qualified renters waiting before the vacancy is even listed.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Your owner's statement only reflects what was paid, and doesn't reflect the tenant's owed balance. If the tenant only paid the rent and did not pay the late fee, it is still charged to the tenant, and when they pay the rent for the next month, it will be paid first, and the tenant's rent will be short the late fee unless they pay the entire rent and balance.
-
We do not hold any rent payments; as soon as funds are available, we send the payment to you. As a rule of thumb, we tell you to count 5 business days after the 5th, and that is when you should see payment, unless we have contacted you to let you know your tenant is going to be paying late or have other payment arrangements.
-
You should see a link in your email to your owner's portal the same day that you get paid. We make it a point to make sure you have an explanation of your rent proceeds when you get paid.
