Questions & Answers
How many properties do you currently manage?
Right now, I manage over 200+ units alone.
What types of properties do you specialize in (single-family, multi-unit, commercial)?
I specialize in muti family and Single-Family properties.
How long have you been in business?
I have been around property management for 25+ years and been working on my own for 12+ years.
Can you provide references from other property owners?
Yes, just let me know and I can provide them.
What makes your management approach different from others?
My approach is more tenant friendly to protect my client’s needs and property. I am open and transparent and don’t lie.
What's the biggest misconception people have about being a property manager?
I think the misconception is that people don’t really know what we do. For me as a Property Manager I would like to say I make your life as a homeowner as easy as possible and manage the property like it is my own.
How do you handle a difficult tenant or a complex issue that falls outside the standard lease agreement?
I like to handle all cases as they come as not all are the same. I handle them as diplomatically as I can and if it is out of the lease agreement then I like to handle it as fairly as possible to both sides involved.
How has your experience with investment properties, commercial properties, and multi-unit buildings shaped your approach to managing a single-family home?
I take the same approach honestly as all emergencies should be handled ASAP but with larger properties sometimes they do take longer as they are more complex and expensive than a single family property would be.
What's a common mistake property owners make that you help them avoid?
Picking the wrong person and knowing what to really look for in the application, credit check and background checks.
Given your extensive experience, how do you see the property management industry changing, and how are you adapting to those changes?
I see the industry changing with more AI getting involved but at the same time AI can’t read a person you meet personally. I will always give the personal touch for my clients.
Beyond just collecting rent, what's one thing you do to enhance the value of an owner's property?
I do annual checks when need be and stay in touch with the tenants regularly as to how everything is on the unit.
