What You Need to Consider When Selecting a Property Management Company

2 min read 

If you are a landlord or tenant looking to find a new place to call home and want to know if your property management team will provide you with what you need, you're in luck. We're sharing four must-know tips that will help you determine whether or not the services that your property manager provides are suitable for you.

Professional Repairs: If a repair is required in your unit or building, what steps does your property manager take to fix the issue and prevent the same problem from reoccurring?

Moving in: Unit maintenance before and after a previous tenant has moved out can give you a better understanding of property managers' processes for upkeep. 

Application process: As a landlord, you want to ensure your potential new tenant fits the criteria. What tenant selection system does the property management use? Essential items to look for are credit checks, employment letters and reference checks.

Available services in the duration of the tenant stay: Looking into the different types of services that your property manager provides (that aren't repair-related) can also be a good deciding factor. How will the property management team go above and beyond to take care of the tenant, property owner and the property itself?

Selecting a property management company takes time and careful consideration. Being well equipped with the necessary knowledge will help make your search that much easier.
