It's hard not to fall into this trap when digital marketing and social media advertising is constantly shoving all of these unnecessary products and services down our throats. 

Individual producers (say top 30% producers) will write +$40M in one year.This is not to say they are bad, but I'm not sure how you can conduct due diligence without seeing social proof.

@Nicolette YorkRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.
