As a Property Management company looking to grow and scale up in our market, what are some standout ways to network? We are already a part of local Business Networking Groups, and attend other professional met ups. What other ways are you all getting your name out to potential clients?

Search the MLS for agents listing properties for rent that are NOT PMCs.

Contact them for referrrals to the owners becuase they are probably just doing Placements, maybe some maintenance, not full-service management.

    Not a PM but something I see working in my market are reciprocal referrals from related businesses: hard money lenders, real estate attorneys, general contractors, data/marketing vendors, etc. Send them work and vice versa.

    YouTube and posting video updates about your market on social media is huge.  

    It creates a pull.  People do business with who they know, like and trust.  

    If you're posting updates about rental values, law changes, etc., people will see you as the expert and they'll think of you (top of mind) for all things property management related.  

    The way you title your videos across the internet will also help your company show up in search engines for high-intent keywords.  

    When I started my first property management company, we used All Property Management and PPC to get momentum.  I'm not sure how APM is now, FYI. 

    Join investor Facebook Groups on Facebook and offer help when people have questions.  This will also position you as the "go to" expert.
