Frequently Asked Questions

What does a property management company do?

A property management company handles the day-to-day operations of rental properties, including tenant placement, rent collection, property inspections, maintenance coordination, lease administration, and handling tenant concerns. They act as the point of contact for both owners and tenants, ensuring the property is well-maintained, legally compliant, and consistently occupied. This service allows property owners to enjoy rental income without being involved in the time-consuming work of managing a property themselves.

Why should I hire a property management company?

Hiring a property manager saves you time, reduces stress, and helps you avoid costly mistakes. Property managers understand local rental laws, know how to screen tenants properly, have reliable maintenance networks, and can respond quickly to tenant issues. They help maximize your rental income by keeping vacancies low, handling repairs efficiently, and ensuring the property remains in good condition. This is especially beneficial for owners who live far away or own multiple properties.

What types of properties do you manage?

Most property management companies handle a wide range of properties including single-family homes, multi-family units, townhouses, condos, and small to medium-sized apartment buildings. Some companies also manage commercial properties such as offices, retail spaces, and mixed-use buildings. Each property type requires different strategies, and experienced managers tailor their services to meet those specific needs

Do you handle both residential and commercial rentals?

Yes. Many property managers specialize in residential properties but also offer services for commercial clients. Residential and commercial properties have different requirements, lease structures, and tenant needs, and a qualified management company will have the expertise to manage both effectively.

Do you manage furnished and unfurnished rentals?

Property management companies can oversee both furnished and unfurnished rentals. Furnished rentals often attract short-term or corporate tenants and require more frequent inspections due to wear and tear. Unfurnished rentals attract long-term tenants and generally require less turnover. A property manager will advise you on the best strategy for your market.
