Tip #4: Work with a Great Team

It may sound cliché, but teamwork really does make the dream work. All of the responsibilities that come along with being a property manager are too much for one person to take on. The more resources you have for owners and tenants to utilize, the happier they will be.


One specific system you can use which we advise at Rullion is the tier system: property manager, assistant property manager, and leasing agent. The property manager will handle all owner related and delicate matters. The assistant property manager will be the main point of contact for all existing tenants. The leasing agent will handle all rental inquiries and schedule all property showings. This way, there is a specific person for clients to speak with and issues are resolved a lot quicker. It is also important to have maintenance, accounting, and insurance departments in order to handle specific issues, respectively.

Client satisfaction is the main goal. Happy clients mean more business, and more business means more success!




Rullion Associates manages a wide variety of rental property throughout Lagos, including residential and commercial buildings and accounting for the revenues that accrues from them. For more information please contact egedik@rullionassociates.com.ng or 08033615098.

Tip #2: Be Dependable and Available

Being a dependable person is extremely beneficial to being a successful property manager. It’s important to respond to phone calls and e-mails in a timely manner. If you are managing numerous properties you will be very busy, but being available when owners and/or tenants need to speak with you is essential.
