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.

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.
