Not all property managers are created equal. And if you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve had that gut feeling, something isn’t quite right.
Maybe you’re not getting updates.
Maybe you’re constantly chasing repairs.
Or maybe you’re wondering if your investment could be performing better.
Here’s how to know when it’s time to stop wondering, and take action.
1. You’re Always Chasing Updates
If you’re constantly following up for routine inspection reports, lease renewals, or maintenance updates, something’s off.
You should never have to chase your manager, they should already be on it.
2. Repairs Are Slow (or Never Done Properly)
Are things being “patched up” with no real follow through?
Delays or poor trade coordination can cost you more in the long run, and they put your property at risk.
3. You’re Not Sure If You’re Even Compliant
Do you know the condition of your smoke alarms? Entry condition reports? Lease terms?
If your manager isn’t keeping you informed, you’re exposed, and it’s your name on the lease, not theirs.
4. You Haven’t Had a Rent Review in Over a Year
A good property manager doesn’t wait for you to ask.
They proactively analyse the market, recommend increases, and justify them to the tenant with solid comparables.
Every week your rent is under market is money lost.
5. You’re Paying a Fee… But You’re Doing the Work
If you’ve ever thought “I may as well manage it myself”, that’s your answer.
You’re paying for a service. You deserve value.
