MPLS Rent Becomes a Family Affair

Online, November 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - MPLS Rent, a leading property management company in the Twin Cities has announced the addition of Maggie Kirkwood to the staff of licensed real estate agents. Her perspective adds to the already successful management program and services offered. Licensed in early October, she has already begun a healthy contribution to the company.

"While it is not uncommon to find husband and wife teams in the real estate market," commented founder and owner, Joe Kirkwood. "Her perspective and 'woman's touch' expands our capability to accurately valuate rental properties based on curb appeal, among other things."

One of the most thorough rental property management companies in the area, MPLS Rent offers a complete program for successful, long term rentals for property owners across the city. In addition, an extensive tenant placement service matches renters to landlords and properties, insuring that the renters needs are met as well as those of the property owners.

"We don't just fill empty rental properties," Offered the newest member of the MPLS Rent team, Maggie Kirkwood. "Our goal is to place the right renter in the right property."

With tenancy in the Twin Cities at all time high, Minneapolis rental properties are becoming more and more difficult to find. But, considering the upcoming construction projects of sports stadiums in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul and some 13,000 new jobs in the area, there is an anticipated increase in rental property demand. In response to that demand, MPLS Rent is finding an increasing number of homes on the real estate market becoming rental properties.

"Many owners that have had properties on the market for some time are taking this opportunity to rent them," Kirkwood said. "In a still shaky housing market, that is a wise idea and we are more than ready to help owners rent those properties."

Considering the increase of Minneapolis rental property demand, the addition of Maggie Kirkwood to the MPLS Rent team is a welcomed one. As more properties are placed on the rental market, more property management services are required by landlords.

"Sometimes, that woman's touch is ideal when showing rental properties," Kirkwood said with a grin. "Maggie, along with her experience, style and taste, is a great addition to MPLS Rent."
