What to Look for in a Property Management Company

  • Experience – First, you should always look for a property management company that has experience working with your type of property–if you’re trying to rent out a condo, choose a team that has managed condo rentals before.
  • Local Knowledge – Next, make sure that your property management company knows the area well. Our team is familiar with the Des Moines, Iowa area, and we have working relationships with contractors and other service providers here, which means we can take better care of your property.
  • Communication Skills – Lastly, the workers at a property management company need to be able to communicate clearly and effectively with their clients, as well as with the tenants and repair technicians. You are entrusting these people with the care of your property, so you need to be able to count on them to warn you of any potential issues.
