Services

What we handle

Everything between “vacant” and “paid on time,” managed for you.

01

Tenant Placement & Screening

Every applicant is run through credit, criminal, eviction, and income verification before a lease is offered, so an owner is never guessing who is moving in.

02

Rent Collection & Owner Draws

Tenants pay online, funds are reconciled monthly, and owner draws hit the bank on a predictable schedule with a statement attached — no chasing anyone for a check.

03

Maintenance Coordination

A vetted network of Lake and Sumter County contractors handles repair calls, with owner approval required above an agreed threshold before any work begins.

04

Marketing & Leasing

Listings go out to the MLS and major rental sites with professional photos, and vacant units are shown by a licensed agent, not left to a lockbox and a prayer.

05

Lease Enforcement & Renewals

Florida landlord-tenant statutes are followed to the letter on notices, renewals, and — when it comes to that — the eviction process, so an owner stays protected.

06

Owner Reporting

A simple monthly statement shows income, expenses, and occupancy for each property, viewable anytime through the owner portal instead of a year-end surprise.

About Us

Why owners switch to us

A boutique brokerage, not a call center. Light of the World Realty and Management is broker-led, which means the person setting your rent price and reviewing your lease is a licensed Florida real estate professional, not a rotating property coordinator.

Direct communication

Owners get a cell number, not a ticket queue. Tenants get the same — most maintenance calls are resolved without ever reaching the owner.

Rigorous screening

Credit, background, eviction history, and income verification on every applicant, applied the same way every time.

Routine inspections

Move-in, periodic, and move-out walkthroughs are documented with photos, so there is a record if a security deposit dispute ever comes up.

Clear accounting

Every statement lines up income and expenses per property in plain language — no jargon, no surprise line items.

Pricing

Transparent pricing. No fine print.

You will always know exactly what you pay and exactly what you get. If we don’t collect rent, we don’t collect a fee.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before switching

Every adult applicant completes a full credit report, criminal background check, national eviction history search, employment and income verification (3x monthly rent minimum), and previous landlord references that we call personally. You approve the final applicant — always.

We handle the entire process under Florida statute: notices, filings, coordination with counsel, and sheriff scheduling. Our Full-Service plan includes eviction protection covering up to $500 in legal costs, and our rigorous screening makes evictions rare — under 0.5% of our tenancies.

Yes. You set an approval limit (most owners choose $500). Anything below it is dispatched immediately to protect your asset; anything above requires your written approval. True emergencies — active leaks, no AC in summer, safety hazards — are handled under Florida habitability law, and you're notified immediately. Vendor invoices are passed to you with zero markup.

Yes. Tenants reach a live dispatch line around the clock, 365 days a year. Emergencies are triaged instantly to our licensed Lake County vendor network, and every event is documented with photos in your owner portal.

No hidden fees. The 10% is charged only on rent actually collected. Lease renewals carry a modest flat fee, and that's it — no setup fees, no marketing fees, no maintenance markups, no cancellation penalties. You can leave anytime with 30 days' notice.
