Property Managers Secrets for success in Residential Real Estates

In the next 4 days we shall share Property Managers Secrets for success in Residential Real Estates

Being a property manager is very demanding. Owners, tenants, maintenance technicians, coworkers … someone is always trying to get a hold of you. You also need to possess many different skills to balance your everyday tasks and responsibilities. But being a property manager can also be very rewarding if you don’t let the stress consume you.

To help you on your path to stress-free property management, some of the property managers at Rullion Associates Limited, one of Lagos’ distinguished property management companies, have been kind enough to compile a list of tips to help make you a more successful property manager.

Tip #1: Know Your Properties Inside and Out

It’s important to be knowledgeable about each specific property you manage in order to answer any questions potential renters may ask.

Get to know the property to learn about any unique qualities or quirks it has. This helps you provide more information to renters, shows you have actually set foot on the premises, and saves you time by not having to look it up each time.

Knowing about the general area is helpful, as well. This allows you to provide prospective clients with information such as nearby access routes/roads, shopping centers, restaurants, schools, fun places, etc., which in return helps them decide if it’s somewhere they would like to live.

Try to avoid more sensitive subjects such as crime rates and the tribalism spread of people and population in the area. Providing information on these topics is a put off for some people.


People interested in renting in the area need to do their own research in order to make the best decision for themselves. But knowledge is power and the more knowledge you have in regards to each specific property, the more success you will have when it comes to renting the property and therefore maintaining a good relationship with the owner and/or renter.
