Mobile, AL - Property Management Firms and Contractors Referrals
Looking for strong recommendations for Mobile based Property Management firms and Contracts (minor work and extensive). Just getting my ducks in a row in building a team. Also feel free to tell me your horror stories to guide me in the right direction of who to choose and not to choose.

I’ve had very little luck with contractors in Mobile, AL. My contractor at the moment just has no sense of urgency to get anything done. It’s like pulling teeth to even get him on the phone. My recommendation is to physically go to sites where the contractors are working and see how they work. See if the general contractor is handling everything properly and has a proper sense of the business side of being a general contractor and isn’t just the guy who points his finger and tells his crew what to do, never having any materials or finances in order first. See if the crew is lazy or motivated to get things done. Look at their work and see if it’s done properly. Talk to the employees and see if they are happy, miserable, or if they are trying to start their own company and they look like a really hard worker. Then you can get a more accurate sense of who you are hiring as well as how their work ethic is so you’ll know ahead of time what you’re getting yourself into.
