A day in the Property Management life...

Hi, David:  Thank you for dropping by, and for your comment.  Absolutely- and I can put myself into most of 'em, too!

Hi, Bob:  Thank you for stopping by, and for your comment.  I think I could probably add a few things to it- "What owners think I do", "What vendors/contractors think I do", etc.. but this sums it up pretty well!

Hi, Winston:  Thank you for dropping by, and for your comment.  Surely good to know what others think of us.  Now, whether we let that change us is another story...

Hi, Doug:  Thank you for stopping by, and for your comment.  Yep, I've had that as well.  I think it comes with the territory- unless you're the absolute cheapest in your area in terms of price- regardless the level of service you provide- folks will find that one guy who is the lowest and use his fees as a benchmark.

Don't know that I've ever understood that, quite frankly- simply using lowest price without regard to services or their quality- but it's the determining factor more often than is should be.

Sort of like an HVAC shop around here says- it's best to buy the highest quality product you can- which may very well come at the higher/highest price.  But when your neighbor is replacing his crappy unit a few years down the road, you're still "saving" money from the day you bought yours!
