Hey Madison,

Professionalism is extremely important. You don't want someone that treats your property like a hobby.

You also want to make sure you get along with your PM. He/she should not be trying to constantly sell you but want to help you reach your real estate goals.

What everyone has said is spot on... Establishment of trust is vital - not just for the client, but for the property management company as well.

We screen clients just as rigorously as we expect them to screen us. Every attempt should be made by the PM company to not be "sales" oriented with the calls. And PM companies that truly care about the service rendered, they will get to know the owner in a way that assists with better management on the property. Getting to know why the owner is purchasing, and the plan for holding or disposition of the asset will place the PM in better position to completely take care of the client.

Please feel free to recah out with any questions!
