Any investor realizes that investments do not manage themselves. They need to be carefully monitored and maintained if they are to give commensurate returns.

The trouble with investment properties is that unlike a well-balanced portfolio, they cannot be managed from a laptop computer, and the problems are not confined to trading hours. Furthermore, it is not good economics to be taking care of problems that do not fall within your areas of expertise.

That is where Property Management firms such as Real Property Management come in. We are specialized in residential rental property management, so we understand both the tenants rights and responsibilities as well as the property owners.

It is our job both to act as liaison between you and your tenants, and to make sure that the rental moves as smoothly as possible. At any time of the day or night, our staff can get suitable service personnel to fix any problem. Acting swiftly with regards to property maintenance is one of the best ways of ensuring satisfied renters and maintaining the value of the rental unit. A burst plumbing line or storm damage can quickly become even bigger problems if they are not attended to immediately.

A property management firm also adds value by attending to the mundane details such as regular inspections, arranging for security, garbage removal and other forms of maintenance — all the things a busy investor shouldn’t need to take the time with, but which help to retain quality renters and ensure a profitable investment.

If you have a rental property, or several, you owe it to yourself to engage the services of a reliable property management firm. Real Property Management would be pleased to discuss the details with you at any of our local offices.
