You are relocating and not yet ready to sell your home, so you are seeking someone to take care of it while you are away. Asking friends for help seems like too much to ask, so you are wondering how to find a reliable property manager. Here are a few tips to share.


Conduct Face-to-Face Interviews

First, it would be helpful to ask around and get referrals from people you know. See if anyone has any good recommendations for property management companies they have worked with before. Additionally, you can check online platforms like Google or Yelp to see if the company has positive reviews from others.


Negotiate Terms and Review Contracts

Next, it is important to have a face-to-face interview with potential property managers. During the interview, ask about how they handle advertising and filling vacancies. Find out what services are included in their management package. Also, negotiate the terms of the contract and ensure that everything is clearly spelled out, including the process for terminating the contract if needed.


Review Lease Agreements

Lastly, ask for a copy of their lease agreement in advance, so you can review it and ask any questions about anything you are unclear about.
