by | Jul 31, 2013 | Property Management

Deciding to hire a property management company is a smart decision for many property owners.  However, not all property managers reach the same level in quality.  Therefore, it is important to ask the right questions to determine which company is most capable of taking over the day-to-day operations of your real estate investment properties.  Asking questions about their education, experience, and other major factors can help you make a decision.

Experience
When you’re looking for a property manager, Fairfield property management companies have the experience needed to care for your rental units and provide the biggest return on your investments.  It’s important to ask how long they have been in business, what types of properties they have managed, and what their experience is in dealing with the specific type of property you own, whether it’s a single-family home or multi-family building.  Also, ask how many properties they are currently managing and how much time will be spent managing your rental properties.

Education
When it comes to your property manager, Fairfield property management companies should be well-educated and have the proper certifications.  It is crucial to ask if they have their real estate broker’s or property management license, or any other type of certification.  Having a proper background in education can give property owners peace of mind that an educated and experienced professional is taking care of their investments.

Tenancy Laws
Property managers Fairfield should have adequate knowledge about Washington state tenant-landlord laws as well as federal tenancy laws.  Ask if they have experience and/or knowledge dealing with federal fair housing laws, the eviction process, safety codes for your specific type of building, how to properly collect and store security deposits, what to include within pet policies, how to terminate leases, and other important laws.  Do not hesitate to ask any important questions of your property management company to make a more informed decision.
