What to Look for in a Connecticut Property Management Company

March 27, 2013 by Levey Miller Maretz Leave a Comment

property-management-connecticutFinding the perfect company to handle property management in CT for all your real estate needs is an important step in investment property ownership. The CT property management company that you utilize needs to provide you with peace of mind to ensure your property is taken care of. The property management firm someone chooses is going to handle the property in terms of its physical appearance, maintenance in the home or building, as well as the monetary gains the person may be earning from the property for a small fee paid to the company. This fee is well worth the hassle the property owner avoid through using these property management services.

One of the first aspects to consider when interviewing a company that handles property management in CT is the communication between the firm and property owner. Most people want someone who manages their building to be available when they need them. Therefore, ask what forms of communication is used and whether there is always someone who will take calls or emails.

Secondly, consider how the company advertises the properties they handle. The whole idea of property management is to find tenants to lease the space in order to earn an income from this. Any CT property management company who does not use the latest advertising methods is not going to provide you with the type of service you expect.  As far as HOA’s are concerned, each owner has a stake in the success of the whole.  A property manager needs to have everyone’s best interest in mind.

You should also be certain that you agree with the amounts in which the company is charging you for what they provide. The commission these companies can charge can be as little as five percent or as much as twenty percent. These services that a property management company in CT can include mowing lawns, removing snow, a handyman service, or the like. The services provided is the main reason as to why you are considering going with a CT property management company, thus these must be up to your standards and needs.

Last of all, look at the agreement in which you will make with the CT property management firm. You will want to ensure that the agreement is not binding you to the company without an out, in case there are problems and you feel you would be happier with another company. A few specifics to look for is whether they can charge you a fee for canceling your contract or if there is some sort of penalty in which you have to pay them for the remaining time left on the contract. Overall, if you are looking for a management firm for your property, be sure to interview as many as possible to find the one that fits your situation.
