Before you choose a manager.
Do I need rental management or caretaking?
Rental management is for earning income: finding tenants, contracts, rent collection. Caretaking is for the property itself — scheduled visits, airing, pool and garden supervision and photo reports — whether it is rented or empty. Many owners need both at different times of year.
How do I compare two management companies fairly?
Ask each of them the same three questions: which pricing model applies to my property, what is not included in the fee, and whether contractor and material work is billed at cost with the invoice shown. Honest companies answer all three immediately.
Can you recommend a company without me paying anything?
Yes. Our partners pay us a referral fee when you sign with them. You pay their standard rate — often slightly less than going direct, because we know the local price and we check for mark-ups.
