Some Hints from a Property Manager


A friend and fellow Realtor is concentrating her efforts on property management for her clients. Her secret of success? The common sense method of having the properties show at their best, with such inexpensive maintenance items as painting, landscaping, and minor repairs. Her years as a Realtor preparing houses to sell have been invaluable in renting these properties and keeping them rented.
She also mentioned to me that she is able to get more reasonable bids for major repairs and improvements that are needed, and contractors are more available in this economy. A house that shows at its best is able to attract better qualified tenants, and her efficient service helps to keep them in place.
