There are several benefits to working with a professional property manager, and we’d like to share a few of the advantages you can enjoy when you partner with a good management company in Cape Coral, Florida.
Professional Memberships and Associations
First, make sure the property manager you select is a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). This is an excellent organization, and you can rely upon its members. Any manager who is a member of NARPM will be an educated, ethical, and effective property manager.
Landlord and Tenant Laws
Working with a professional property manager means you’ll have access to an expert in landlord and tenant laws. Your property manager will know all the state, local, and national laws, and keep up with the changes.
Local Market Knowledge
A property manager understands your local market. You’ll be advised about rental values and vacancy factors. You can talk to your manager about what your property will rent for in your area, and how long it will take to get a well-qualified tenant into your home.
Screenings and Inspections
Another benefit is that you’ll have a consistent screening policy to meet legal obligations when you’re placing a tenant. You want to find the most qualified resident you can, but you also have to follow all the local and federal fair housing laws. A property manager will know how to screen thoroughly, consistently, and fairly. You will also have the benefit of move in and move out property inspections. You won’t have to worry that your property is being damaged; your manager will ensure it is well-maintained and that your tenants are taking care of the home.
Vendor Relationships
A professional property manager will be personally familiar with licensed, affordable, and reliable vendors. Good vendors will help you maximize your rent and income, and take care of the property by using professionals.
Finally, using a professional management company means your time is freed up to do other things. You won’t be at risk for making common landlord mistakes that can cost you money and leave you frustrated.
These are just a few of the things you will gain by hiring a professional property manager. If you have any questions or you’d like to hear more about our services, please contact us at Cape Shore Property Management.
