Your first 30 days with Ekot
What happens after you sign, in order, and who is responsible for each step.
By the Ekot team · October 27, 2026 · Reviewed by Esther Jackson-Stowell, Principal Broker
Week one: agreement, access and accounts
You sign the management agreement, we collect keys and codes, and your AppFolio owner portal is opened the same day. If the home is occupied, residents receive a welcome letter with payment and maintenance instructions.
Week two: condition and preparation
We walk the property, photograph its condition room by room, and give you a short preparation list with costs for anything that will affect rent or resident quality.
Week three: marketing or settling in
Vacant homes are photographed and listed across the major rental sites with showings scheduled daily. Occupied homes get their first inspection booked and vendors introduced.
Week four: first statement
Your first owner statement is issued on the 10th of the following month with distributions the same day, and your named contact confirms how you prefer to be reached.
