Property Manager for my Laguna Niguel Condo?

[Brad Rondeau]

Hi, I've owned and managed several rental properties over the years.  I recently sold a home in Laguna Hills CA and another rental in Burlington KY.  I still have one rental condo (3 bed) in Laguna Niguel CA and another rental home in Burlington KY.  I put the 28006 Via Moreno Laguna Niguel condo on the market with a Real Estate broker two weeks ago ($585,000 for 1,700 sq ft).  I am currently living there and have spent 2 months getting it ready after being a rental for 9 years (same tenants all 9 years). There has been 2 open houses and 7 other showings with little interest.  I just got a call on a fantastic job opportunity in North Carolina.  Interviews start tomorrow and I may be on the fast track to a great job.  If I get hired and they need me immediately I may not be able to wait for a slow moving sale.  I'm very comfortable renting it out myself but may be pressed for time and will be 3,000 miles away.  Does anyone have experience with rental management companies - maybe share info on cost, convince, value etc.  I've never used a management company and have no idea what I would getting myself into.  I've been able to get great tenants over the years and might spend all my time worrying that the management company is mis-managing my property with terrible tenants and little skin in the game.  At some point the condo will have to be sold so it needs to be returned in good shape as it is beautiful now.  Thanks
