Top 9 Questions to Ask a Property Management Company • Now that you have an investment property, finding a property manager should be a priority. When conducting research on property management companies, including a list of questions to ask prospective firms. • If you are still interested, contact them to ask questions. Then make an appointment to visit in person. Visiting a property in person is the best way to get a feel for how the manager conducts his or her business. Here are the five most important questions to ask when interviewing a property manager.
1. Does the firm have a management team? • When looking for a property management company, ask whether it provides a full range of services or merely serves as a sideline for an office of real estate. Please tell us how your property will be managed. Please tell us how many staff are in your office. Who will deal with you & your tenants' problems if staff fall ill or leave? 2. Does the Company Owner get involved in the business? • Real estate management is divided into two parts: Selling and managing real estate. In most cases, the director focuses on the sales side of the business because it is a high-profit area. If the company director is personally involved with this property management arm, they may take it more seriously than others.
3. How much do they know about the Rental Business? • You should check with the property manager how long they've been engaged in the property management business. Just because you're talking to a well-known real estate company doesn't mean their staff has much experience or offers top-quality service. • Some property managers work in a real estate office and then work their way up. Some move into property management and others into sales. Other property managers decide to become professional property managers.
4. How long has the Property Manager worked for the organization? • You want a property manager who is committed to the job and who takes their responsibilities seriously. There's a lot of stress involved in property management, and with a high turnover of staff, you want to be talking to the same person for a long time to build a business relationship that understands your needs and the property. This is why it's good to look for a property manager dedicated to this business as a career. 5. What areas does your company service? • You are right to consider buying from companies that have expert local knowledge, but if you intend to buy more properties in the future, how far does their expertise reach? • You do have a choice: either hire a property management company in each geographic area or find one to take on all your properties.
6. How do they Conduct Property Inspections? • This is important. The last thing you want is for a property manager to just hand out your keys to prospective tenants. This can lead to problems. You want to know that they will give good customer service and personally take prospective tenants to inspect your property or hold open houses at specific times so that they get to know a future tenant better. 7. What's the number of properties your property management company manages? • You want to know how many properties the property manager manages. Some may have more than 200. If they do, I wonder how they can give you and your tenants good service. Others may only have up to 150 but charge more for their services. This may be a better option to get peace of mind and make a good return on your investment property.
8. Does your staff work six days a week? • You want a property management firm that can advertise your properties when it is convenient for the tenant. After all, you want tenants who can pay their rent so that means most will be at work during normal business hours unless it is a commercial property. In the world of internet advertising, inquiries come in 24 hours a day which requires their availability and ability to deal with maintenance issues. 9. Do property managers check their new tenants' credentials? • It's important to ask how the property management company checks out prospects' credentials. You need to make sure they check people's credit and rental history, as well as their past and present employment. • All prospective tenants must be carefully screened. Does your property manager have adequate access to the information? Do they provide a written report that backs up their claims when handing over short-listed prospective tenants?
You now have plenty of information to help you find the best property manager for your growing property portfolio. I hope you enjoy your investment! • Are you looking for one of the most trusted and experienced Property Management Repairs and Maintenance Companies in the country?
