Choosing a Property Manager? Ask All the Questions—Please. 🙏🏽

When you’re hiring a property manager, don’t hold back. Ask the hard questions. Ask the detailed ones. Ask how we communicate, what systems we use, how we handle conflict, maintenance, late rent, emergencies, the works.

Why? Because you're not just hiring a service—you’re choosing a partnership. And like any strong partnership, trust and alignment are everything.

The truth is, when there’s clarity up front, magic happens. Expectations are clear. Boundaries are respected. You sleep better knowing your property is handled, and your manager can do what they do best: manage.

But when there's a mismatch—when an owner feels the need to double-check every decision or manage the manager—it becomes hard to create the results both sides want.

We love working with owners who are engaged and curious. We want you to feel confident. So don’t rush onboarding—use that time to really get to know us. Ask about our process. Ask how we’d handle a tricky situation. Ask what keeps us up at night.

Because when you choose the right fit, you won’t feel the need to micromanage.
And we’ll be able to serve you at 100%.

🎯 If you're exploring property management right now, ask yourself:
Do I trust this person to act in my best interest when I’m not watching?
If the answer is yes—you’ve probably found your team.

One question I like to ask is if the manager is able to handle different rental strategies. If the property doesn't work for long term rental, can they do rent by the room or co-living? Can they manage a short term rental for me? Here in San Antonio, it's hard to find a manager that will service all types of residential investments. If I have to change managers to change strategies, that could be a problem for me.
