Here mentioned are the few Must-Have attributes of San Diego property managers. Have a look,
Must Know and Stay Current on Local Regulations and State Laws
- Managers are required to perform their work according to the laws of the land. The government (city, state, and federal) dictates how real estate is to be managed, from requiring a real estate license (depending on the state), to the use of the real estate (such as rent control laws).
- If a mistake is made or a task is forgotten, it could cost the owner his or her property, and/or a management company's reputation, loss of the account, or even the loss of real estate licenses.
Must Be Highly Ethical and Honest
- By collecting rent, security deposits, etc., the property manager holds a fiduciary relationship with the property owner. The owner entrusts the property with thousands of dollars each month, plus the value of the real estate itself.
- So the good property manager is honest and trustworthy when they handle other people's money.
Must be Detail Oriented and Organized
- Managers collect the rent daily, and must ensure that the rent is paid and posted to the tenants' account as received. Financial records detailing each and every rent transaction are kept on the computer. Lease expirations and renewals, rent increase letters, and rent invoices must be mailed on time.
- Overall, a highly skilled and experienced property manager must be able to perform, multi-task, keep site files organized, and prioritize repairs and assignments.
