Interviewing A Management Company
Interviewing A Management Company
Nicole Serviss, RE/MAX Elite
If you decide to hire a property manager, it's a good idea to visit the management company's office and interview the prospective property manager.
Questions to ask include:
How many years of experience do you have?
What management services do you provide? Can I have that in writing?
How do you structure your fees?
Are there fees when the property is vacant?
How do you screen tenants?
What kind of insurance coverage do you have?
Are employees bonded?
How are funds for different properties handled?
Is there a single account for all properties or an individual account for each?
How do you stay current on local, state, and federal laws?
How often do you communicate with clients and how do you present reports?
How quickly do you get properties on the market?
What are your average vacancy rates?
