Avoid Vacant Rental Units

At Orca Realty, we manage the entire leasing process on your behalf when you’re faced with a vacancy.

We use both traditional and modern marketing methods to advertise your property and get your listing in front of as many prospective tenants as possible.

We begin with a free rental analysis to determine optimal rental rates.

Then, we launch a marketing campaign that includes:

• Professional photography: Our professional photos help your home stand out in a competitive market
• 3D video tours: We produce 3D virtual video tours to showcase the property effectively
• Multi-platform marketing: We list your property across 15+ platforms, including MLS, Rental.ca, and our own site
• Website traffic: Our website receives over 25,000 visitors per month, which offers direct exposure that most other agencies can’t match
• Internal tenant pipeline: We maintain an exclusive database of pre-vetted, high-quality tenants—including past renters transitioning or downsizing, as well as a direct network of corporate contacts and relocation specialists who lean on us to house their executive VIPs. This established pipeline allows us to place reliable, high-tier tenants in your Vancouver property faster while significantly reducing vacancy risk. As we manage many homes in the greater Vancouver area with month-to-month leases, each of these tenants become prospective tenants for new homes that are coming up – this is one of our best sources of tenants for our upcoming homes

Once we have a handful of prospective tenants, our viewing agents are available 7 days a week to schedule property showings and reply to tenant inquiries.

When you work with us, you benefit from expert guidance every step of the way.

Never Deal with Problem Tenants Again

We place qualified, financially responsible tenants who can meet their rental obligations, respect the terms of their lease, and care for the property as their own.

How can we find such tenants? Well, we perform a thorough tenant screening process on every applicant.

Here’s a look into our tenant screening process:

• Initial Application & Financial Proof: Prospective tenants complete a detailed application supported by official financial documentation, including pay stubs, T4s, and Notices of Assessment—a crucial first step that filters for organized, financially prepared applicants
• We contact current and previous landlords to verify rental history, tenancy behavior, and payment patterns
• We confirm the applicant’s current employment, position, and stability
• We verify reported income to assess the applicant’s ability to comfortably meet their rental obligations
• We obtain a detailed credit report through Equifax, reviewing credit history and assessing the applicant’s rent-to-income ratio
• We verify applicant identification through secure corporate ID verification software
• We conduct BC criminal court checks

In doing so, we increase the chances of renting to responsible, reliable and respectful tenants. We also increase the chances of secure stable, long-term tenancies.

In fact, to provide you with peace of mind, we offer a 6-Month Tenant Guarantee. If a tenant we place breaks their lease within the first six months, we will replace the tenant at no additional cost to you.

Stop Chasing After Rent

We take rent collection off your plate, so you never have to deal with sending reminders, following up on late payments or worrying about whether your rental income will arrive on time.

At Orca Realty, here are some of the ways we manage rent collection:

• We offer tenants a convenient online portal, where they can pay their rent every month
• We help tenants automate their rental payments for efficiency
• We walk tenants through the rent-related terms of the lease agreement
• We monitor payments and follow up on outstanding balances
• We handle issuing late fees for late payments

Thanks to our rent collection process, we keep rental income consistent and your cash flow on track!

Save Time & Money on Maintenance and Repairs

When you work with us, you can have peace of mind knowing that your property is being well-maintained at all times of the year.

We manage maintenance and repairs from start to finish, coordinating trusted professionals and responding quickly to routine and urgent requests, and responding immediately to emergency requests.

You have the choice of either using your contractor or using our list of existing contractors to complete the repairs as quickly as possible.

Our goal is always to address issues early, helping to prevent costly repairs down the road, as well as helping increase tenant satisfaction and encouraging long-term tenancy.

When you work with us, we help reduce your workload, control unnecessary costs, and preserve the long-term value of your investment.
