Acquiring a professional and qualified property management service should be considered as part of the investment.
These are some of the benefits of working with a property manager:
1. Find a good tenant for the property
It may be that due to inexperience in the real estate sector and the rush to rent the property, the owner does ́t take the necessary precautions in reducing risk and renting to people who may damage their property or cause unpaid rent.
By having a professional company, the tenant first passes the manager ́s filter who can also act as a real estate agent and then collect the necessary information and comply with the “due diligence” that allows elaborating a risk profile of the client.
During the term of the contract, in case of suspicion or situations of irregularity that could occur with the tenant, the manager will set up an inspection and evaluation plan of what is happening on the property and may act as soon as possible in case of having to evacuate the tenant minimizing the expenses in legal measures and the possible damages caused in the property.
2. Better relationships between landlords and tenants:
Working with a good manager will help in the communication between the landlord and the tenant, and will act as an intermediary in the resolution of conflicts.
Benefits for the tenant:
– Peace of Mind knowing that any claim will be dealt with professionally and quickly, at any time of the day.
– The comfort of not having to “bother” the owner with urgency on a holiday, or if there is any type of situation that requires a professional, which may be complicated if the landlord does not reside in the same city.
3. Greater financial control
A property manager will be in charge of making the obligatory payments of management, taxes, utilities, as well as controlling that tenants make their monthly rent payments.
In addition, the manager prepares a quarterly financial report that will allow to easily track the returns generated from your Real Estate.
4. A team of professional and low-cost providers
A property management company has a qualified team of professionals to care for your property: electricians, handyman, plumbers, painters … who will work at a better price than if you look for them on your own?
A good property manager will conduct periodic inspections and can prevent or be attentive to the repairs or maintenance required before the situation degrades and causes damages that require a greater expense.
5. Improve returns
A happy tenant is a tenant who stays.
The good relations between the landlord and the tenant, considerably reduce the time in which the property is empty. The tenant will feel served and will lengthen the time of stay in the property.
