The Management Group manages apartments, plexes, single-family homes, condominiums, and other properties in Washington and Oregon. If you’re in the market for a property manager, it might be helpful for you to know exactly what it is we do. In fact, a lot of people — property owners and otherwise — ask what property management means and what a property management company does. What does a property manager do?
These are great questions. Let’s answer them.
Why Hire A Property Management Company?
Hiring a property management company makes sense if managing your property has exceeded the capacity for you and/or your resident manager, if there is one, to do it yourselves.
Our friends at Realtor.com provide a good overview of what a property manager does and why property owners might be interested in partnering with one.
“A property manager works for landlords,” they write, “handling the day-to-day details of running a building. If you dream of collecting income from rental property but cringe at the idea of collecting rent or getting calls from tenants about burst pipes, a property manager could be well worth the money.”
In many ways, a property management company becomes the main point of contact between you, your tenants, and potential tenants.
Property management companies perform the following essential functions (and many more):
- Marketing and advertising your available rentals
- Determining the market price for renting units
- Screening potential renters and performing background checks
- Ensuring that the property owner remains compliant with all local laws and regulations
- Collecting security deposits and monthly rent payments
- Overseeing regular maintenance requests and repairs (including emergency and after-hours repairs)
- Performing regular site visits and inspections
- Coordinating lawn care services and property maintenance
- Responding to residents’ concerns
What residential property management means for you and what a property manager does depends on a variety of factors, including the size of your property, the number of tenants, and how much oversight you’re willing to grant the property management company.
