Property Management Service vs Real Estate Agent Management Service?

[Philip Choi]

Hi All, 

I'll try to keep it concise. I currently own a 2b/2.5bath in West Boca. My company requires me to relocate to Kansas City and now I am in need of help on managing my soon to be rental unit. After speaking with my family, they mentioned to look in property management service rather than going through a real estate agent. My family is concern with real estate agents as they often don't have the time to manage the property. I appreciate everyone's insight on the pros and cons. If you are also a fellow south Floridian, would like to hear your recommendations if you think property management companies are the way to go. 

Thank you! 

Phil,
