Re T. says, "I had the pleasure of working with Ebony to manage my Airbnb properties while I was out of town for work, and I must say, she was absolutely fantastic. From the moment I reached out to her, she was incredibly helpful and professional in every aspect of the property management process. Ebony went above and beyond to assist with bookings and ensure that my properties were always occupied. Not only did she handle the day-to-day tasks of managing the listings, but she also took the initiative to find opportunities to book my properties at better rates. Her knowledge of the market and her ability to negotiate with potential guests truly impressed me. What I appreciated most about Ebony was her attention to detail and her commitment to providing excellent service. She was always prompt in responding to inquiries and was proactive in addressing any issues that arose. Her communication skills were top-notch, and she kept me informed every step of the way. Ebony's professionalism and dedication to her work were evident in every interaction I had with her. She took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences for managing my properties, and she executed them flawlessly. I felt confident knowing that my properties were in capable hands, and I could focus on my work without any worries. Overall, I cannot recommend Ebony enough for her exceptional property management services. She is a true asset to anyone in need of assistance with managing their Airbnb properties. Her helpfulness, professionalism, and ability to secure better rates for bookings make her stand out from the rest. I am grateful for her support and would not hesitate to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Ebony, for your outstanding work and for making my property management experience a smooth and successful one."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.

Do property managers offer remote or virtual services?

Contact the property managers near you and ask if they offer remote or virtual services to accommodate the recent social distancing guidelines. For example, some property managers may be able to collect rent by using digital payments and deal with maintenance issues over the phone or via video chat. 

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.
