What Makes a Great Carlsbad Property Management Company?

Kyle Scritchfield • May 03, 2019

We have experience managing multifamily and commercial properties in the North County area, including in Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, and Solana Beach. By working closely with landlords, tenants, and investors and staying on top of all the best practices in the property management industry, we know what makes a great management company. We’re sharing some of those qualities with you today, in case you’re looking for someone to provide you with high quality rental management.

Timely Communication is Critical

The most important quality you can look for in a Carlsbad property management company is communication. You want the communication from your property managers to be proactive, transparent, and easy to understand. A good management company will be willing to communicate in several different ways. You should expect phone calls, email messages, and constant updates via your online owner’s portal. If your property management company doesn’t provide an owner’s portal, you should question why they aren’t willing to invest in technology.

Look for a management company that’s accessible. Your management team should be available and responsive when you have questions. No one wants to have their phone calls go unanswered or their messages unreturned. Make sure your property manager is communicating with you in the way you expect.

Authority to Make Good Decisions

You hire a property management company for their expertise and resources. Therefore, you don’t want to be burdened with too many decisions and questions. While it’s important to find a property manager who communicates well with you, make sure there’s a balance. You don’t want to be pestered every day with minor questions about how they should handle an issue at your rental property. Property managers are experts. We should be able to make important decisions on your behalf without burdening you or taking up your valuable time. The goal is to keep you in the loop, not to waste your time. Give your property management company the authority they need to do what they do best.

Managing the Day-to-Day Logistics

A great property management company is one that takes all the hassles and headaches off your plate. Great property managers will ensure you’re spending less on your investment property and earning more.

Inspecting your rental property is a good way to ensure it’s being maintained to high standards. When you have the benefit of putting your eyes on your investment, you can get a sense of whether the tenants are following the terms of the lease and helping you preserve its condition and value.

Working with tenants in a commercial property is often a little different than working with tenants in a residential property. While the tenants you place own their own businesses, you’re the one who owns the building. This can create some tension if the relationship isn’t managed properly.

Vacancies are expensive, whether you’re renting out a single-family home in Oceanside or a commercial property in Carlsbad. The cost of an unoccupied property is high – it’s money that can never be earned back. This doesn’t only damage your cash flow, it hurts your long term ROI.
