Yes, they do nickel and dime some but the are competent and communicative.

Owners do NOT pay PMC's enough to risk violence.4) How is their inconsistent communication really negatively affecting the management of the property?

Marketing, virtual leasing, ai bots, and screening are just a few popular topics.

Zillow, apartments.com, maybe VRBO...virtually all of your traffic is going to come from Airbnb and FF, though. 

I was very impressed with the communication and the easy process.

I always cover my experience, the brokerages experience, and expectations with communication - 9 - 5, M-F, 24 hr turnaround during business hours, and the owner can reach out to me personally when the team isn't present. 

The R2R team was great with communication, providing guidance and insights, and getting me in touch with the proper resources.

Your personal history with GSE's is notified across all GSE loans, they communicate.

The owner had her own listing set up on VRBO and has given me the username/PW to be logged in and responding to inquiries and managing guest communications.

Communicating timelines and expectations upfront can help prevent losing good prospects to other properties.I'd say it's a potential red flag if they want to sign the lease without viewing it.
