System - Tuesday, April 18, 2017

Should you hire an Austin property manager?

Rental property management is something some owners elect to do themselves as they might have the time to deal with the various day-to-day requirements that come with managing properties. If you find yourself doing so you probably understand that things can get hectic and your schedule can be loaded in a hurry. Your rental homes aren’t static objects. When occupied by tenants they become these living things that require constant care and attention.

What will a property management company provide me?

Let’s first cover what you should expect from hiring a property management company like Stone Oak Property Management. As your professional landlord, Stone Oak’s goal is to leave you stress free while providing quality management of your investments.

So when is the right time to hire a property management company?

Here are some of the reason we hear from our owners at Stone Oak that pushed them to hire an Austin property manager.

You have to many rental properties to manage yourself. Managing rental homes can be a tough task. When you begin to manage multiple properties then things start to get hectic. At Stone Oak Property Management, we’re more than prepared to take on your properties whether you have 1 or 100!

You’re not close enough to manage your rental properties. Life happens. Sometimes you move to a new city or maybe you decide to invest in real estate in hot markets. Regardless of your reasons, Stone Oak can provide you with excellent service whether you live in Austin or just own properties here.

You aren’t interested in the nuts and bolts of hands-on management. Dealing with tenants can be a tough task, especially when you are financially invested in their home. Let your headaches become our headaches by trusting Stone Oak to manage your rental properties.  

You don’t want to worry employees. When deciding to hire someone to manage properties for them, some owners may elect to hire their own landlord as an employee. If you took this route you’d be stuck handling payroll and a host of other legal requirements. As an independent contractor, Stone Oak doesn’t require the hassle of all the things associated with being an employer.

Your time is valuable. If you self-manage you’ve probably found yourself in a situation where you had something planned and something came up with a tenant or your property. You probably would love to disregard this but you know where your true obligation lies. Relieve yourself of situations like this and let Stone Oak Property Management professional manage your rental properties.

At Stone Oak Property Management, we let our service and policies do the speaking for us. What sets us aside? For one, we don’t lock you down to any length of term – it’s all month to month. If you aren’t satisfied with our service, you can fire us and move on to the next. Our competitors will try locking you down to a one-year contract from the beginning. Speaking of firing us, Stone Oak Property Management has never lost an owner to a rival company and the only time we’ve lost a client is when they decide to sell their property.

So go ahead and kick some tires, we’ll be ready to treat your investments as our own once you’re ready!
