Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Property Manager

A short list of questions that cut through the noise when you're choosing who will manage your property.

Not all management is the same. These questions help you compare managers on what actually matters for your property and peace of mind.

Ask about the essentials

• Which areas do you serve, and how local is your team?
• What exactly is included, and what costs extra?
• How do you screen applicants, and how do you stay Fair Housing–compliant?
• How and when will I receive statements and reporting?
• How do you handle maintenance, and how are emergencies coordinated?
• How will I reach a real person about my property?
