Top 5 tips for preventing burnout for Property Managers 1. Ask for help Whether you’re at your wit’s end with a client, or unable to cope with the mountain of work, asking for help from your employer or manager is important. This can be in the form of a one-off meeting or scheduling a weekly “check-in”, so you can work together to suggest some solutions to your problems and make it work better for you. 2. Prioritise & delegate Put in some time at the start of every workday to plan out your work. Always prioritise the highest performance-driving tasks first using the 80/20 rule (i.e. 80% of results will come from 20% of the action) and then delegate what you can to others. This will not only allow you to focus on the most important tasks at hand, but it will help you to empower more junior employees who you entrust with work. 3. Maintain work-life balance It’s essential for your own mental health that you set clear boundaries when it comes to your work. Be it screening client calls on weekends, prioritising time with family after hours, or turning your ‘out of office’ on when you’re on holidays, maintaining a work-life balance will prevent you from burning out and will stop you from feeling like you live to work. 4. Say ‘no’ This little piece of advice applies to all aspects of your life, not just work. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with work and already have too much on your plate, then don’t be afraid to say ‘no’ to people. By saying ‘no’ to people – whether it’s to your colleagues, clients or even your boss – you can manage expectations and avoid overworking yourself.
5. Block out time Whether you hang a “do not disturb” sign from your office door, or put your phone on aeroplane mode, make sure you block out some time to get through your important work. It can be difficult for Property Managers who are rushing to and from property viewings or dealing with a phone that won’t stop ringing, but it’s important that you block out time to actually get your high-priority work done without any distractions. Otherwise, you may feel as though you’re drowning under a to-do list that won’t stop growing. Life’s too short to not enjoy work – especially because you spend one-third of your life working, so make sure you apply some of these top ways to avoid workplace burnout to your daily life and make your working experience a positive one. You’ll thank yourself later. You’ve made it this far.

REAL ESTATE FUN FACT. A balcony can increase the value of a one-bedroom apartment by almost 12% Looking at data from 1,200 apartments sold in inner Melbourne, buyers’ advocate Secret Agent found that “one bedroom apartments with a balcony are expected to sell for 11.69% more than those without, while two bedroom apartments are expected to sell for 8.40% more on average.” However, having a balcony does not significantly impact sale price for apartments with three or more bedrooms. Instead, the average price per square metre of indoor space increases with the size of the apartment. Article Source : PropertyMe
