What Happens When Property Managers Don’t Communicate
You may be thinking to yourself, “A lot of other companies I’ve talked to have promised me they’ll keep me updated and communicate with me. Why should I pay for your comprehensive property management services?”
Good question! Here’s a recent story from The Simple Dollar that illustrates what happens when you trust other property management companies with your rental:
“Vacations in Hawaii and landlording don’t mix,” says Todd Tresidder of Financial Mentor. “On one trip I got news that the SWAT team had surrounded my investment apartment complex. Fortunately, no guns were fired, and the drug dealer went peacefully. It turned out a long-standing, excellent tenant had a grandson temporarily staying with her, and he was a serious bad apple . . . Almost unbelievably, the management company lied through their teeth claiming it never happened–all the while I received threat letters from the city saying I had to clean up my building or they would take it away from me.”
At Real Property Management Southern Connecticut, a lot of our clients have switched over from other property management companies because they were frustrated and exhausted from the lack of communication and sub-par job those other companies were doing. They come to us because our company is backed by more than 25 years of experience and trusted by tens of thousands of property owners nationwide. Here’s a recent testimonial from one of our happy customers:
“We came from another property manager that was a nightmare to deal with. Real Property Management came to the rescue and got our units up to par by coordinating the maintenance as well as getting the units filled with quality tenants. We couldn’t be happier with Real Property Management. If you are thinking of switching property managers, or you are in the market for the first time, Real Property Management is a no-brainer. I know the road of investing in real estate can be a bumpy one at times, but they have made the process smooth sailing for us. Such a breath of fresh air!” – Amy B., Massachusetts
Remember that Communication Goes Both Ways
Communication is a two-way street. At Real Property Management Southern Connecticut, we expect landlords to do their part by expressing their concerns and stating their expectations from the very beginning. We want to know what you hope to gain from your rental investment so we can help you meet those goals.
“I really appreciate the dialog with Real Property Management. With a recent issue, I’ve seen more effort and had more contact with you all over the past 24 hours than I did with the previous company over the past 3-4 years. Huge peace of mind knowing that our townhouse is being properly managed :-). Thank you!” – Kristi S., Colorado
