Evan Dorren says, "Nesbitt Realty managed two rental properties for me in Alexandria, VA from 2016 to 2021. Any landlord will tell you that it's rarely a smooth ride, and we did have some periodic bumps in the road brought on by ornery tenants and unexpected repairs. In all cases, Andrew, our assigned property manager, performed exceptionally. He was responsive, attentive, and proactive - at no time did I ever feel like I was chasing him for information about our properties. For my taste, the level of communication was spot on: we received concise, relevant reports about what was going on in our rentals.We were sufficiently impressed by Andrew's attentiveness to the property management side of things that, when we decided to list these properties for sale, we wanted him leading the effort. As the listing agent, Andrew once again exceeded our expectations. Both home sales were not without their respective setbacks: the first was peppered with multiple requests from the buyers to make changes. The second was an uphill battle as the tenants flat-out denied access to inspectors and appraisers, as well as to Andrew himself. Through all of this, Andrew was methodical and professional, and we were still able to close with minimal delays, even in the face of outright hostility from the outgoing tenants.I would enthusiastically recommend Nesbitt Realty to anyone in the Alexandria area who is looking for a well-executed management or sale experience. Well worth the money."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

How do I find a good property manager?

You can find the best property manager in your area by starting with an online search. Compare profiles and ratings, and read customer reviews — these tend to give a snapshot of the manager’s quality of work and customer service. Additionally, customers may post photos of their properties that give an idea of the pro’s attention to detail.

Licensing is required in some states, so check to see your state’s policies on licenses and certification.

Finally, compare quotes and prices from at least three property managers.

Is it worth having a property manager?

While property managers do cost money, they can provide a lot of value to the client. They have marketing know-how and can advertise and perform showings of your property to the rental market. They can collect rent for you and screen potential tenants. They’ll also deal with tenant complaints and repairs, evictions and late rent. Finally, they can manage bill payments to simplify your paperwork and maximize your mental bandwidth.

Why is property management important?

A property management company can be a landlord’s greatest asset. As a neutral third party, the property manager handles the day-to-day operations of a real estate investment, from a single vacation home to a large apartment building or several rental properties. A property management company can be especially helpful to landlords who own several units and can’t manage each of them individually, or those who live too far from their investment properties to meet with renters and oversee maintenance. Property management is particularly important if your rentals are part of an affordable housing program. To receive financial assistance from the government, the landlord must comply with a complicated set of rules; property management companies should have both experience and expertise in complying with the rules specific to each housing program.

Do property managers need to be licensed?

The licensing requirements for property managers vary from state to state, but many states require property managers to have a real estate broker’s license and in some cases be a legal resident of a state.

Property management may not be specified in a state real estate statute, but according to the Institute of Real Estate Management their activities may include advertising the availability of a rental property, discussing a property management agreement with an owner, negotiating leases, showing a rental property and collecting rents.

What does a property management company do?

Property management companies manage the rental of residential homes, apartments, condos, commercial spaces and retail spaces. Property managers can oversee just a single unit or many properties, whether those sites are inhabited full-time or are vacation rentals. A property management company helps a property owner or landlord find tenants; collects rent; takes care of accounting, property maintenance and repairs; handles on-site management; and manages vacation rental check-in and checkout tasks. Although many property owners or landlords successfully manage their own rental real estate, a property management company can help you handle tenant issues and maintenance problems, especially if you are not located in the same city or state. Most property management companies deal with tenants directly, and their tasks include:

  • Marketing the rental property
  • Collecting rent
  • Handling repair problems
  • Responding to tenant complaints
  • Evicting tenants  

A property management company may be a good choice for property owners who have several investment properties, live far away from the rental property, or don’t have time for hands-on management.
