Property MGMT - Using an Unlicensed Contractor to Open Door
Hello All,
I'm considering starting a property management company with the goal to remove myself from as much of the "on-location" activity as possible. This will require a sophisticated software (electing to use Appfolio) and well documented processes.
My question is if open houses and prospective tenant meetings need to be hosted by a licensed broker, or if I could contract this out to an unlicensed individual.
The marketing would be limited to free services (ie. Zillow, Trulia, etc.) and I would be managing the listing posts, tenant screening and communications remotely. All I need is someone to open doors and direct questions back to me. I would then follow up and manage the application process through Appfolio.
Rather than pay out a significant commission to a broker, I'd like to limit that expense.
Does anyone have experience with this type of setup?
Thanks!
