Choose A Property Management Company - Aspen Leaf

1. How to choose a property management company

2. Introduction At Aspen Leaf Property Management, we understand that making the decision to hire a property management company to take care of your vacation rental can be daunting. We also understand that you may want to handle a good portion of the management yourself; however, it is a time-consuming task to promote your property, answer inquiries and questions, screen guests and making sure your rental is cleaned and maintained. www.aspenleafpc.com

3. Does the company understand the area? You should choose a manager who understands the local marketing. A property manager may have been in business for many years, but may not have kept up on changes in the industry, or may have just gotten tired. Ask about how they market during the high and low seasons, what types of properties are most popular and if there are any recent regulations that may affect your rental. www.aspenleafpc.com

4. What are the fees and terms of contract? Most vacation property management fees can range anywhere between 25% to 50% of the rental income. You will need to determine if those fees are suitable and if you can still meet your rental income goals. At Aspen Leaf, we have an al a carte system that will let you determine the level of services and subsequently the fees you pay. www.aspenleafpc.com

5. What services are included in the fees? You should understand what services will be included in the management fee. Some management companies may charge extra for things such as services performed outside of normal business hours. You should understand specifically what the fees cover, including maintenance, cleaning, marketing and similar services. www.aspenleafpc.com

6. How will your property be marketed? Many rental management companies will only market your property on their website. This can be problematic, as most individual management sites will not receive the traffic that other major sites such as VRBO or Home Away will get. You should choose a company that not only lists on its individual site, but will also assist in getting your listing on those highly visible sites. www.aspenleafpc.com

7. How will guests book your property? You should fully understand when your potential property manager will be available to take bookings. Of course, you can’t expect them to be available 24/7, they should be available during the times when most people will be making their travel plans. Also, you should understand if there is online booking available to enable people to book when it’s convenient to them. www.aspenleafpc.com

8. When can you expect updates? You will want to understand when and if you will be updated on your property’s condition after each booking, and they you are informed of any damage or issues. Ask how and when the company will update you on these issues. You should also understand how the property management company will handle any damages. www.aspenleafpc.com
