One of the best reasons to hire any type of agent but especially a property manager is they are not the principle.

This is a huge asset in successful negotiations.

  • It provides the proper perspective in the initial preparation of the property for presentation and pricing. (without having a personal interest an agent makes sure it is priced right the first time)
  • It decreases the number of tenant repair and maintenance request and their corresponding costs.   (simply knowing that someone is watching the cookie jar makes the cookies last longer ) 
  • It equates to almost an unfair advantage in the negotiation of price and terms and allows a much needed buffer between prospective Tenants and Landlords, and prospective Buyers and Sellers.
  • It does all of this while enabling you to enjoy the benefits of making a return on your investment without being consumed by the minutia of the daily issues that arise.

Professional Representation, done right, is one of the best Values that you can invest in, for yourself and your future.

Quite true, and good advice for anyone considering managing their own property.  As a property manager, I realize it's important for owners to consider the whole package of what they are getting by hiring a professional rather than trying to do it themselves.  Having no objective buffer is where most for-rent-by-owner properties run into trouble and turn people against owning investment property.  If only they had hired a professional, they would not have nearly the bad feelings toward the investment vehicle.
