Looking for Property Manager

[Amal Bhatnagar]

Hi All,

I have a condo in Marietta that I self-manage but I am looking for a long-term property manager who can manage it for me. Does anyone have experience in finding and hiring a property manager? What was the hardest part of this experience?

Thanks

 I'm a property manager in the Atlanta Metro area. I'll send you a request so we can exchange information.

To answer your question, the hardest part is finding someone who will take the time to explain the process to you and what to expect during each phase of the process. Examples: What to expect 1) when the home is up for rent, 2) how long does it take to get a renter in your area, 3) what type of tenant to expect and why, 4) etc.

They also don't explain the agreement between you and them as PM and client. They just want to sign paperwork and go. I know this b/c i spoke with several PMs before I became one. Most of them suck at communication.

The big companies are very hard to get in contact with for the client and the tenant (i was both), and the smaller companies don't move with much urgency to get repairs addressed.
