• Important Questions to Ask When Considering a Property Management Firm by Ajay Jekison (Part 2 of 2) , Ajay Jekison's Blog on Bigsight August, 2011 Upon completing my degree in real estate management through an online program with a United States university and graduating with honors, I entered the property and facilities management field as a consultant. Now I work for several private South African firms operating in the industry, implementing best practices and encouraging growth for my clients. Prior to launching my new career, I served as an executive manager in industries with relatable skills to property and facility management, such as the finance, technology, and transportation businesses. Below I have listed additional common questions that property owners and investors should ask themselves before hiring a property management team. A Stressed Man Hiding Under His Desk – Royalty Free Clipart Picture posted by picturesof.net How well do you deal with stress? Running a property partially or largely on one’s own requires an immense amount of focus and calm under pressure. A seemingly endless amount of unpredictable problems can plague property owners, including legal or informal disputes with tenants or neighbors, arguments among tenants, and lawsuits over not meeting codes and regulations, just to name a few. Property management companies take much of the stress away from the owner, allowing them to direct their attention toward building their portfolios. Calm Professionals posted by conventionplanit.com How much experience do you possess in maintenance and repairs? Property management companies typically maintain a network of reliable contractors and handymen to contact in emergencies. Owners who go it alone often do not possess the time and experience to complete all the repairs required in keeping up a property; finding quality persons, however, can prove time consuming and it requires a certain amount of trial and error. posted by indiabuzzing Are you willing to remain on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week throughout the year? Owners and investors take vacations, deal with personal crises, and have other responsibilities outside of work just like everyone else. However, when a property emergency occurs, they also have a responsibility to their tenants. Property management firms stay on call at all hours of the day or night, handling issues like emergency repairs, tenant altercations, and other situations long after the owner calls it a day. Money Clip posted by clker.com Does running your property make sense from a financial standpoint? When considering a property management company, it essentially boils down to this final question. An owner will likely save money in the long run, and reduce their stress, if they choose to enlist some assistance.
