What Is a Property Manager?

29 Sep What Is a Property Manager?

A property manager is a person (or company) who specializes in making sure a rental property is being operated properly, in accordance with an owner’s needs and wants. Property owners hire property managers to handle all operations, maintenance, and administration of the property or properties for the owners.

From marketing the property and finding tenants to collecting tenants and complying with rental laws, property managers take on important roles to assist rental property owners.

An owner usually decides to hire a property manager if they own multiple rental properties, live out of town, or are too busy to properly manage the property. Owning a rental property is a lot of work.

As a luxury property management company in Jacksonville, Florida, our team at WaterMarke Management Group has worked with many owners and landlords in the area, and we want to share with you what a property manager does.

What a property manager does:

• Screens out problem tenants through a thorough tenant screening process.
• The point of contact for all tenant concerns; whether it’s a repair, noise complaint, or tenant disagreements.
• Markets your rentals/properties and attracts quality tenants while properly pricing units to be competitive in the market.
• Enforces lease policies if payments/rents are not received. If rent is not received property managers know the eviction process.
• Knows all landlord-tenant laws and fair housing laws, allowing owners to avoid lawsuits.
• Allows owners to stress less, have more time, and have fewer commitments to worry about when it comes to managing the properties.
