interviewing property managers

[Edgar Perez]

Hi BP,

Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am in urgent need to find a new property management company for my properties.  I have limited options in my area and I did receive a referral from a friend of mine but their reviews on the internet have me concerned.  I would understand negative reviews from upset tenants but there are several from upset owner clients.  How can I ask them about these concerns from the public reviews in a professional manner?

and if you have any recommendations for my area (Southeast Wisconsin) please share.

Thank you

There are many solid PMs in Milwaukee that don't have 4-5 stars online. 

PMs not only deal with disenchanted tenants, there are also issues with unreasonable landlords with too high of expectations.

For properties in Kenosha/Racine, try @Corina Eufinger

For Milwaukee, I use Citywide and LOVE THEM but if not them, then I'd use Ed at Welcome Home Milwaukee or Mike Baron from PMI as I know them personally and trust them.
