Sage Management LLC - When is it Time to Find a Property Management Firm? Sage Management LLC was founded in 2004 with the aim of maximizing value for tenants, investors and employees. For the management team, this meant establishing effective property management policies that result in success for every challenging project undertaken. While Sage Management LLC has worked hard to improve its portfolio of properties, it does work with investors who appreciate the company’s accomplishments in property management. While every investor will have their set of needs and expectations, there are various factors that can lead them to seek the services of a property manager. The following are some of these factors. Proximity to the property As an investor, your proximity to the property can be the difference between successfully managing the property or having a professional team handle the inspections, maintenance and collection duties. The further you are aware from the property, the more the tendency to let things be, which is not always a good thing. Ability to handle tough situations Many investors like to think of themselves as patient and level-headed people, but at the end of the day, it takes an experienced person to deal with the (sometimes) tough life of property management. Beyond the rent collection trips lie a number of issues that can push even the most even-keeled person to the limit. If you find you can’t keep your cool at disputing tenants or people who will repeatedly violate housing restrictions, maybe it’s time to hire a property manager. Number of units in your portfolio As your property portfolio grows so do the number of issues, which makes it easier for some to slip through the cracks. Investors with huge portfolios can benefit greatly by engaging the services of professional property managers. Experience in property management Do you know who to call in case of sewerage backups or water leaks. Finding reliable contractors and service providers can take a while and in the mea time you may be engaging people who lack the experience or skills to do a good job. Regular maintenance is an important aspect of property management that is worth hiring a professional for. Availability Are you willing to be available 24/7, sometimes even over the holidays? When an emergency situation arises at the property, you can’t snub it. Emergencies won’t happen every day, but they require someone who will handle them immediately when they occur. Are you willing to be that someone? For More Information Visit : https://vimeo.com/sagemanagementllc
