The Best Property Management in Seattle?
Hello Seattle,
I have a house that is currently rented to a good tenant but not managed well. I'm looking to switch that up, and I'm taking recommendations. The SFH is in Mid Beacon Hill, it's in good shape, but I don't think my property manager does a good job of finding inexpensive labor for generally easy and small fixes, and they don't ask permission to fix stuff, I just see it on my statement! I'm being robbed! HELP!

I don't think there is inexpensive labor for trades work in the area anymore. Depends on how you define it, though. What is your threshold for having to approve fixes? If they are fixing small stuff without asking you, that's the whole point of having a property manager. If they are fixing stuff that's not broken then you've got a problem. Might need to crack down on how they record their maintenance work.
