Checklist: how to choose a rental management company
· 5 min read
Ten questions every owner should ask before delegating property management: fees, reporting, guarantees and operations.
Before signing with any management company, ask these ten questions. The answers say more than any brochure.
The ten questions
- What fee do you charge and what exactly does it include?
- How do you screen tenants and what do you check?
- What reporting do I get and how often?
- What is your average response time to an incident?
- Who covers small maintenance and under what threshold?
- What average occupancy do you have on assets similar to mine?
- Do you have in-house staff or do you subcontract operations?
- How do you handle renewals and rent reviews?
- What happens if I want the management back in six months?
- Can I speak with two current owners as references?
Our answer
We answer all ten in writing before any signature. Ask for the proposal on WhatsApp and you'll have it in under 48 hours.
