Is Your Property Manager a Realtor?
Most property management companies are run by Realtors. They can manage your property, or sell it, or whatever. Too bad for you the Realtor can make a lot more money in a lot less time if they throw your property on the MLS, have a buyer come along, and get a 4% commission instead of managing it.
The mindset of a realtor is not the same as a real estate investor. Realtors are salespeople, helping people buy and sell their homes regardless of capital gain or loss. Investors are seeking high returns on their money, generating cashflow and building wealth. During the boom and bust of the mid 2000’s, many realtors got burned thinking they were investors just because they were in the real estate business.
Usually a Realtor will get into the property management business, thinking it is easy and will generate a little extra income. The result is a domination of Real Estate Agencies, who also do property management. Would you hire an electrician who does a little plumbing on the side to fix your sink? No, you would hire a plumber.
The lack of focus and priority among these companies makes finding a good property management company hard. Sun Rock Property Management was developed by real estate investors to offer an alternative to the realtor/property management companies.
