o       The best way to see the inside of any of our RENTALS is to call or text Richard W. Cook @ 229-403-7300 when you want to look or send an email to cookrealtyrental@aol.com.  Or call the office phone (229-226-3889) and press extension 3 (three) for Richard W.

Why IS the office locked or seems closed QUITE A BIT: 

There are times when the office is locked during office hours, as we are out taking care of business outside of the office. Unfortunately, Cook Real Estate Agency doesn’t have anyone in the office at all times posted that the office is physically open.  So, it is always a good idea (instead of popping in to see us) call or text 229-403-7300 and let us know you want to meet at the office such and such time today. I think this is true for a lot of people in business as they have to be out showing properties or taking care of other business outside.  

 

COOK Real Estate Agency has business meetings outside of the office as well as inside of the office.  So, we don’t get interrupyred in a meeting inside of the office, we will lock the front door.  IN & OUT:  IMPORTANT TO REALIZE:  Brian Lameier and I are IN & OUT of the office on a regular basis.  We are not sitting in the office all the time waiting for people to just stroll in and do not have anyone to sit in the office.  If you get to the office and the office is locked, call or text our cell phones at 229-403-7300 for Richard W. Cook or 229-305-5979 for Brian Lameier.  Sometimes we may be in a meeting with someone and cannot talk when you make your call, but can take a second to respond to a text in a few minutes.  It all depends. Again, if and when we are in conversation with someone, we will not interrupt our conversation to answer your call.  It will go to voice mail.   Text and we will respond

Normal office hours:  Our normal business hours are Monday  thru Friday 9:00 AM till 5 PM.  Saturday and Sunday optional.  However, even though we have certain office hours posted does not mean someone will be in the office when you come by or call the office telephone.  Sometimes, if I am in the office by myself, I will have the front door locked, but have the” SIGN ON THE FRONT DOOR SAYING IN-OPEN-COME ON IN”.  Knock on the door.  If I am in the office, I will come to you.  Sometimes we rush out and don’t change the sign to OUT.  Just being human.  Call or text ahead of time before coming to the office is the best policy to catch us at the office.  Sometimes I am in the office early say 7 AM and sometimes I am in the office after 5.  I do make appointments before 9 or after 5.  It all depends on what I already have planned.  I know people work or have obligations where it is difficult to meet with us.  Just call.  Don’t feel like you are bothering us.  Understand though, with the phone ringing, I may be on the line with someone else.  So, leave me a voice message and I will call you back. 229-403-7300.  I don’t like interrupting my conversation with double calls coming in at one time, if I can help it. I DO MOST DEFINITELY WANT TO MEET YOU AT THE OFFICE AND NOT CONDUCT A LOT OF BUSINESS OVER THE PHONE. 

·        Pets:  NOT ALLOWED ON SOME PROPERTIES.  IT DEPENDS ON THE OWNER’S PREFERENCES.  Cook Real Estate Agency requires a $400 PET FEE to be paid up front with rent and security deposit (Damage fund) to move in.  Non Refundable PET FEE (not a pet deposit) must be paid before key is given to move in.  The pet fee is a separate fee altogether.  Otherwise, there will be a NO PETS clause in the LEASE.   If a pet is found on the property and you have not paid the $400 pet fee, then immediately, you will be asked to move for violation of the lease.    THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT PART OF THE LEASE.

o       PETS:  PET FRIENDLY: PET FEE:  Owners are getting away from tenants being able to have pets in their rental houses and apartments. PETS IN GENERAL do so much damage to properties and owners end up paying for what your pet did. With this said, pets must be addressed per property. 

·        Concerns:  write down your concerns on paper.  Give us a punch list, if there is one.  We can always miss something even as large or small, as it may seem to you.  We will go and take a second look.  Cannot guarantee a change, but will look.

·        RENTALS CAN BE HARD TO FIND- Cook Real Estate Agency suggests when you find a RENTAL YOU LIKE after viewing the inside and outside, it is in the neighborhood you are looking for, and it is in your price range, to complete the HOME application and get us the total amount of monies to move in.  For an application, leave us a message on our cell phone(text 229-403-7300) with your fax number or your email address.  Or send us an email at cookrealtyrental@aol.com to send you a copy of our application.  Email is a great way of communication.  AGAIN, especially in this real estate rental market, RENTALS NORMALLY DO NOT LAST LONG.

·        Cook Real Estate Agency wants certified funds on all payments and cannot be partial payments like just the deposit.  Cook Real Estate Agency cannot hold any properties for any length of time without ALL  monies paid and application complete.  When placing monies up to RENT one of our houses, you should be ready to sign a ONE YEAR lease within 48 hours (if approved).  Cook Real Estate Agency would like to get you in your new home and get the rent started as soon as practically possible.  RENT begins the day we go over the lease, you sign the lease, and we give you the keys to start moving in.   This will happen in our office.

·        Cook Real Estate Agency tries to describe the best we can the size of the house or apartment by saying 1 BR, 2 BR, 3 BR, & 4 BR.  Sometimes a 2 bedroom can be large enough and have an extra room you could make it a 3 BR or a size of a house that will work for you.  The objective  is you should set up a time to view the inside.  You should always put your own eyes on the rental before making any decisions.  This is why it is hard to rent a house when you live out of town.  If you have a friend or relative that can go and look, we suggest this.  You will not get a feel with pictures only. 

RENT PRICES-- NEIGHBORHOODS:  This is the most popular question of all.  Someone always SAYS, “I am looking for a reasonable priced rental in a nice neighborhood.”  We cannot DESCRIBE neighborhoods.  Where someone lives is a personal decision, right or wrong.    For an idea of within your budget, you should not pay more than ¼ of your total monthly income for housing. 

 

MOST UPDATED LIST OF RENTALS:  Cook Real Estate Agency can fax, mail, or email the most updated RENTALS AVAILABLE list at any time or you can always swing by the office at 209 West Monroe Street in Thomasville, Georgia (24 hours a day 7 days a week)  to see what may be newly added to the list.  We have a green information box outside the front door of the office with the rental list inside.  Open the door and take one.  we always rent some and are adding new ones:  Check with us periodically, as this RENTAL LIST can change.  We just never know when we will be adding a new one.  And the new one may be the one you have been looking for in your price range.    We like correspondence by sending you the most updated list of rentals by email.  If you would send us an email at cookrealtyrental@aol.com and ask for our current list of rentals, we can reply with the most updated list of RENTALS normally the same day.  We will attach in an email the most current list of rentals.

·        CALL THE OFFICE TELEPHONE FOR OUR CURRENT LIST OF RENTALS OVER THE TELEPHONE:  Cook Real Estate Agency went to an AUTOMATED ANSWERING SYSTEM over 20 years ago to allow people to call and get our list of rentals over the telephone 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  We keep this list updated with our most updated list of rentals.  During the day, if someone answers your call, then ask to be put through to our rental list.  We will.  Once the automated answering system starts, press 1 for our current list of rentals.  Again, this is 24/7 you can call the office to get our list of rentals. 

·        As this list of RENTALS changes from time to time including prices, it is always good to check the day you are wanting to go and look to see if it is still available and see what the price is at that time.  As prices fluctuate from time to time as work is done on certain rentals, the price may increase. 

 

What is your TIME FRAME to move in one of our rentals:  WHEN DO YOU WANT TO MOVE IN A RENTAL OF COOK REAL ESTATE’S:  Everyone’s time frame of wanting to move in one of our rentals is different.  As mentioned earlier in this packet, Cook Real Estate Agency cannot hold any rental for any length of time (with only a deposit) or any other means.   People will say I have half of the total amount to move in.  ask if they could put down half.  The answer is always “NO. ”We must have total amount of monies to move in including poet fee, if applicable.  We want to get the RENTAL income coming in as soon as possible.


 

·        When is RENT DUE here at Cook Real Estate Agency:  All of our rents are DUE and EXPECTED ON or BEFORE the 1st day of each monthALL RENTS ARE PAID IN ADVANCE, not during or the middle of the month.  This means before the month starts basically.    If the first day of the month falls on a Saturday or Sunday, we ask you to come in the Friday before the FIRST with your RENT.  Always pay ahead and not get behind because we will evict when RENTS AREN’T PAID IN FULL  in the time frame (DEADLINE TO PAY RENT DUE AND LATE FEE IS THE 10th day of each month) we have set up for you to pay. 

 

PRO-RATE RENT:  If there is any proration of first month’s rent, we will prorate from the date we receive a signed lease to start rent to the end of the first month and actually pay a smaller reduced rate on the second month, not the first month.  We will prorate rent from the date you receive the key to the end of that first month.  If you are renting the house during the grace period we have of the 1st through the 5th, there is no proration.  Rent starts when we do the lease signing and we give you the key to start moving in. 

 

ALL TENANTS RENT BY THE MONTH, NOT BY THE WEEK OR DAY.  ANY TENANT LIVING IN THE HOUSE ANY PART OF THE MONTH (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE PRORATION AT THE BEGINNING) MUST PAY A FULL MONTH’S RENT. 

 

Home Application: MUST QUALIFY You must complete a home application to rent a house from us.  It takes 24-48 hours to approve or not approve your application.  You cannot move in the same day you put money up to Rent.  We have a 24 to 48-hour minimum waiting period for processing your information on the home application.  Just drop it off in an envelope with the full amount of money(certified funds such as cashier’s check or money order) to move in. 

 

Cook Real Estate Agency will process your application.  In the processing, Cook Real Estate Agency  will check to see if you pay your bills and other information that will help us get to know you better.  Do not let checking information stop you from completing an application or applying for a house or apartment to rent from us.  Background checks are necessary.

 

Taking rental house OR APARTMENT off the RENTAL MARKET for you:   Once we get THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY (CERTIFIED FUNDS) TO MOVE IN and the completed application at the same time, we will take the rental house you are interested in renting off the rental market.  The rental will be taken off the rental market for the 48 hour period or two business days to approve your application. NO ONE ELSE CAN GET IT, as we are trying our best to get you into the house of your choice.  If your application is not approved for any reason, then the house will go back on the rental market and your monies will be refunded.  When receiving monies to move in, we will complete a legal document explaining how the monies will be refunded.  We will try our best to get you into your new rental as soon as practically possible. 

 

When can we get started moving in:  Once we have approved your application, we will complete the one year lease with you.  Once we have gone over the lease with you, we will hand you a key, a copy of your signed ONE YEAR lease, and you can start moving in.  Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for the ONE YEAR lease signing process.  Please leave children with an adult outside of the lease signing so there are no interruptions.  Please turn off all cell phones during meeting and going over lease.

 

HOME IMPROVEMENTS:  Any improvements you want to make where the RENTAL is more LIKE HOME for you (COSMETIC ITEMS) is normally accepted by the owner, but has to be WRITTEN DOWN, SIGNED, DATED, ADDRESS, NAME, ETC. AND passed by the owner for his or her approval. 

 

TERM OF LEASES:  ONE YEAR

 

MEETING people at the office:  We like to meet all persons at the office of Cook Real Estate Agency located at 209 West Monroe Street in Thomasville, Georgia.  Call ahead before coming to office  to make sure we are in the office.  229-226-3889 ext. 3 or 229-403-7300 Cell.  Thank you.  Again, to re-emphasize, there are times when we will be in the office with the OUT or IN sign on the front door and the door will be locked.  There are reasons for this.  For safety reasons, for conversation on phone or in office where we don’t or can’t be interrupted, or to the back of the office.  Please KNOCK and if we can, we will come to the door.  I would say most of the time, we can come right away.  Be patient.

·        Once Cook Real Estate Agency receives the completed application and all certified monies for move in, we will have two business days to approve or to not approve your application.  If not approve, we will refund monies.  If approved or in process of approving and you change your mind, you lose all monies because Cook Real Estate Agency is spending tm end money trying to qualify you to move in the rental of your choice.

Psalm 118:14 (NLT)

The battle is not yours, it’s the Lord’s.  Whenever you feel like giving up or giving in, remember that your strength comes from the Lord.  Whenever you’re down and out and can’t seem to pick yourself up, remember your strength comes from the Lord.  When you feel weak and overwhelmed, remember your strength comes from the Lord. 

 

Don’t you dare give up!  God has amazing things in store for you.  During the battle, the Lord will fight for you.  During the trial, the Lord will strengthen you.  During the test, the Lord will encourage you.  You shall be a conqueror;  you are a part of a royal priesthood;  you are the head and not the tail;  you shall prevail in this life;  you will defeat the enemy and you will inherit eternal life, through Christ Jesus our Lord.

 

Don’t give up!   Give it to God!
