CASE STUDY:
THE POWER OF NEUTRALIZING A PERSONALIZED SPACE
CHALLENGE:
This unique, highly personalized home ("Before") featured bold, vibrant colors that reflected the previous owner's style - but it was sitting on the market without traction.
OUR STRATEGY:
We recommended a full refresh using neutral tones to open up the space and appeal to a wider range of renters.
TRANSFORMATION:
From colorful & niche to fresh, bright, and inviting
RESULTS:
Rented in just 2 days after painting!
Increased showing interest immediately post-refresh
Find the Perfect Tenant
- STATE-OF-THE-ART SCREENING: We use state-of-the-art 3rd party tenant screening along with in-house verification to ensure the best results.
- APPLY 24/7: Prospective tenants can apply either online at Rental Central or in person.
- 1-HOUR APPROVAL: A prospective tenant can get approved within an hour. A quick answer keeps a qualified tenant focused on your property rather than continuing their search elsewhere.
Pick the Perfect Tenant: Rigorous screening for reliable renters
TENANT EXPERIENCE PLATFORM: As part of the program, tenants build credit and earn rewards for on-time payments. They can use filter delivery to the door, gift cards, and increase their credit score.
24/7 MAINTENANCE PORTAL: Tenants can report maintenance issues easily and fast, even after hours, online or by phone.
TENANT CONCIERGE: One call sets up utility, cable, and internet services - and helps the tenant get the best promos and discount codes available.
Our tenants enjoy the most awarded rental experience in town. RPB has tenants saying, "Renting never felt so rewarding". Tenants earn "Pinata Cash" monthly to redeem for rewards.

It allows your tenant to log in to pay rent and view documents. Again, anytime 24/7.
This portal also expedites any maintenance requets. Your tenant can easily submit work orders, while you receive simultaneous notifications of their request. This saves time up front, resulting in faster repairs and damage deterrence.

A Few of Our Satisfied Landlords
I can’t say enough positive things about Everyone at ERA American Rentals!! Very professional and easy to communicate with! The standards the maintenance team holds the rentals to for their owners speak volumes. Looking forward to continuing to do business with them!! Amanda B.
I have used the ERA property management service on my house in Ft. Walton Beach for the last 16 years. They did an amazing job at keeping my place rented out and fixing issues as they came up, with very little involvement from me. I’m very pleased and would use them again in a heartbeat for the same services. I am selling my place, so I am no longer in need of their service, but outstanding job all around. Paul V.
Working with the ERA Rental Team has been a wonderful experience for my husband and me over the past few years. They take care of everything for us - from maintenance to coordinating payments plus yearly inspections - and we never have to worry about a thing! Tina P.
ERA has managed the rental of our Florida home for three years. I could not be happier with the professional and courteous service we receive. I especially cannot say enough about how much I appreciate them and all they have personally done to ensure any issue with our home is resolved immediately. I highly recommend ERA Rentals. Beth L.
Thank you once again for getting things done in such a timely manner. Even the tenant was impressed with how things got done so quickly. I really appreciate your efforts. Dennis C.
