Fast and simple Property Management
Property Management features a numerous responsibilities. Fixating on performing every item perfectly for a small company and maybe much more so for a big business can be overwhelming. More importantly, trying to perform all items without error or misstep doesn't seem possible. Instead, great property management is better accomplished by selecting a few items and performing those items as nearly perfectly as possible while seeking productive innovation. With that in mind, the key is choosing the 3 items that you would like to define your company.
My short list of items to perform superbly are:
Great customer support and customer management.
Outstanding accounting and financial management.
From the chart marketing and leasing.
These are broad areas which will tie the company together creating a tremendously effective organization.
Great customer support and customer management will assure top quality resident records, courteous treatment of prospects and residents, effective resident management from application to moveout and from billing to eviction if required.
Outstanding accounting and financial management assures accurate recording of every transaction, correct categorization of each item, effective accurate preparation of statements, strong cost management and funds controls, and the capability to provide high quality investor financial communication.
From the chart marketing and leasing causes the manager to innovatively drive traffic towards the home, to continually enhance the selling to closed lease process, and to assure great follow-up and communication with prospects and also the market. Ultimately, meeting this objective will result in plenty of prospect, steady and strong leasing, and aminimizing turnover.
The 3 items together (for their mutually supporting requirements) will expand quality performance to effective work order management, strong capital planning processes, great capital renovation and improvement plans, satisfied customers who offer great referral traffic, and a very satisfied investor who can rely on the business to supply profitability, minimzed cost, high quality services and facilities, and strong improving asset value.
As an owner or manager, you may choose different items to focus your management attention. However, if chosen correctly, the items will support one another and provide a clear vision for your investors, your employees, your contractors, and your residents. Essentially, the shared common vision will lead the business to a total product that is more than the sum of its parts. As described within the book, Good to Great, you'll achieve the hedgehog effect that leads to steadily improving performance for profitability, client satisfaction, asset protection, and cost management.
