Reblogger Wallace S. Gibson, CPM

This list is an EXCELLENT check-list for property managers to use when re-renting properties or even when doing a property management presentation at the property.  Being HONEST with would-be/could-be clients rarely goes unappreciated!!!

    Judi * EXACTLY!!!   when I go to a client property presentation, I go a little early and drive around the neighborhood and look for the condition of other properties, # of homes for sale and rent AND issues like on-street parking, etc.  Some issues can't be fixed; however, many issues including curb appeal can be addressed fairly easily!

    It's so easy to get too busy and forget about these important details.  Thank you for the check list and the reminder.
