How a Good Property Management Company Earns its Fees

A good South Bay property management company wants clients to feel that their fees are well-deserved. When Fred Leeds Property Management commits to a client, they ensure that all their management needs are met and that their investment property is protected and maintained to the fullest extent. Below are some guidelines for what to look for when looking for the best property managers—all traits we strive to possess.

Fast response time. There are multiple reasons why it’s important for a South Bay property management company to have fast response time. To keep tenants happy and ultimately maintain retention, requests and issues must be responded to and resolved as fast as possible. When someone’s living situation is problematic, they expect any issues to be rectified immediately so that comfort and safety are not compromised. At Fred Leeds properties, our goal is to respond and handle tenant issues as soon as they arise.

Another reason response time is crucial is that when units are vacant, leads must be answered as quickly as possible or else the potential tenant will pursue the next listing. By quickly responding to leads, answering questions, scheduling viewing appointments and vetting applications, the Fred Leeds Property Management staff makes it possible to find the quality tenants with potential for long term. Fast response to issues of late rent payments is also key.

Flexibility. Sometimes a property manager will be forced to engage in uncomfortable interactions with tenants. Good managers like those at Fred Leeds properties know that empathy and compassion go a long way. While it’s necessary to protect the landlord’s interests first and foremost, seasoned managers can show understanding to the tenants to help diffuse incendiary situations.

Screening experience. Landlords will benefit from the extensive screening procedures and experience the staff at Fred Leeds Property Management offers. By implementing strict screening procedures, performing market analysis, and offering impeccable statement accounting, owners can rest assured that their property is well-managed.
