Property Management for the entire state of NC

[William M.]

Are there any property managers/companies that can service the entire state of NC?

Hmmm. Even if there are...🤔...my mom a pro PM near Pinehurst (@Beckie Pahner) would probably advise against it. She says that property management (well, how most people do it — poorly!) is about as good as the proximity that they live to the properties. Meaning, will the company really go the distance for you? Literally.Will they, say, go back out to the properties to show 3 extra people who have applied last-minute who might be the best candidates if they have someone “good enough” already; trying to get you the BEST candidate or the “easiest, best”... Or will they ensure the filters are being changed on your HVACs as often as they should (which can be important because it’s one option for managers to enter legally, to make sure there’s not other more egregious breaches occurring inside the units like unauthorized pets, etc).

Most managers are in fact humans, LOL, and will act in their own best interests first. She and good managers like her who run their own, small shops enjoy being close by the properties so that when pipes freeze (like they have been ALL OVER NC this week, or when a hail storm comes thru and u have insurance claims in ALL your roofs in one town - yes, true story!) that they can easily get to them all (or their network or handymen can). **Those are the times you really want the BEST managers who can be eyes&ears-on-the-ground for you at all of your properties, themselves. If you have one only manager for all Raleigh properties, and one for all Asheville, and one for all Charlotte for example...can they really be running all over each city when YOUR properties are the ones flooding!? 

If you do if that way, one company for all, I would think it’d have to be a BIG operation with loads of managers, per locale...

Anything to add, Mom? (If u even have time to answer - cause I know you’ve been swamped this week...)
