If the management company is excellent at their craft and they attract and retain top talent in related services (like contractors and agents, since there is a lot of overlap between PM and these fields), then the agents and contractors may be far better than the average agent in that same metro.Conversely, if that PM company is not led by a skilled business tactician they might be tempted to retain a shiza agent in their ranks so that they can capture some referral booty, with no mind to whether or not the end user client is getting good representation.I see both things happen in my market consistently, and though it doesn't create a helpful rule of thumb, hopefully it does help you in your decisions ahead.
