Web Based Accounting and Systems Programs that are so cutting edge that doing business any other  way is just CRAZY. Technology changes at such a fast pace that if a Management company is using technology older than 2 years they are  missing lots of bells and whistles that improve the reporting to Owners and tracking of expenses, work order histories , etc.


Top Questions to ask a Property Manager before hiring them.
1. Do they have a website dedicated to property Management?

2. Does the property manager work exclusively in Property Management?

3. How long have they been in Property Management?

4. Do they belong to any trade associations that further their education in their chosen profession? How do they give back to the profession? For example, teaching through the Property Management Academy like Nancy Marshall does.  Are they members of NARPM and FARPM?

5. How do they market their properties? Do they have a written marketing plan? Ask them when the marketing will begin and how long it will be repeated. Will it be one time, weekly, monthly, what exactly. If they post to Craig's list do they have a plan to refresh the ad at least weekly so it does not get pushed to the bottom of the list? Who is paying for the advertising?...

6. What about marketing Videos? Yes, I said VIDEOS! Imagine a tenant able to take a complete tour of your home at 3:00 in the morning while in jammies. If they like it they can even complete the application on line....all at a time they want to! We do it their WAY.

7. What is their average days on market for like kind properties? Do they even know this answer?

8. Ask the Agent to provide what they have leased over the previous three months per the Multiple listing service. Ask for the customer copy with photos (a search parameter in the MLS), also tell them you want the summary sheet of their listings which will show you the average days on the market. If they have properties that have been on market longer than sixty days ask them to explain why.

9. When you look at their listings do they have multiple photos showing off the property? Again, look to see if they have any Videos marketing the properties.

10. The MLS allows a search by agents that will let you take a look at their listings, photos, days on market and rental history. Ask the agent you are interviewing to send you their current listings in the MLS that are active now showing all the photos, description and rental history for the property. Pick at least two of the properties and ask to call the Owners (pick the ones with the longest days on the market) and ask the Owners if they would rehire that agent.

11. How do they answer the question, "Why should you hire them?"
