Preacher plumber painters policemen professor or physician.

my painter has 1 million houses and several trucks and SUVs :)

I guess I am one of those "restrictive" landlords who expects tenants to follow the lease, which says no painting or modification without landlord approval.Most people suck at painting, even some DIY landlords are bad painters.

As an agent you need to be working under a broker.Practically speaking, you need knowledge and expertise in these areas among others:Landlord / Tenant lawsFair housing lawsMarketingPeople skillsBusiness skillsSystems/organization in place for all aspectsContacts for cleaners, painters, contractors, hvac, handyman, etcAccounting systemVarious documents:  lease agreements, 3day notices, MIMO,  applications, inspections/maintenanceHope this helps

The painters that we have had in the house finishing the job even told us that they were verbally unbecoming and, per their term, "crazy".

Also looking for Electricians, Plumbers, Handymen, Painters etc. 

I normally repaint the place after tenant moveout, and nowadays I use professional painters.

I ended up having a painter come and draw a huge mural (40' x 18') as it was on a busy street, just to liven up the place.

I am looking for a management company who will be proactive and schedule painters and contractors prior to a tenant moving out.

They shave the paint down to bare wood and then you let your painter go to work.
