Shopping For A Property Manager 

Shopping for a property manager can make your head spin. Comparisons can be difficult when each company has a different pricing structure and management style. Here are a few questions you should ask:

    What are your fees?
     Find out about ALL fees, like re-let or leasing fees, advertising, internet listings, application fees, setup fees, cancellation fees, etc.

    How do you screen tenants? 
    Don't settle for vauge answers. Get specifics about what information is collected, evaluated, and scored. Find out how the manager makes a decision to accept or reject a tenant.

    Do you personally show the house or do you check out keys? 
    Find out which method will be used on your house - and why.

    What is the manager to property ratio? 
    A company may have cheaper fees - but what kind of service are you going to get? 

    When and how will do you pay owners? 
    Does the company offer direct deposit - is there a fee?  When do they pay their owners?

    How will you market my property? 
    Find out details. Are there extra fees for different types of advertising?

    What are your maintenance policies and procedures? 
    Is there an upcharge on repair costs? Can I choose my own vendors?

    What are your eviction procedures?
    What happens if a tenant doesn't pay rent? How long will an eviction take? How much does it cost?
