It is great to see the Property Management Team (Ashleigh & Symone) from O'Brien's Real Estate, the Carrum Downs office focusing on their professional development and investment knowledge by attending the recent training session I delivered for the 2019 O'Brien's Ignite Conference @ Crown Casino, which focused on Understanding the Role a Property Manager Plays in a Landlord's Investment Journey & Re-imagining the property management industry in 2020 and beyond.
As a Property Management Consultant & Trainer, and a landlord myself working alongside many property managers across the country, I know how hard it is to find a property management company & manager that really invests the time to learn what's important to me as a landlord. I am looking for a manager that is more solutions focused rather than product & service focused. I am looking for someone to make investing in real estate easy!
Managing a landlord investor relationship is much more than finding a tenant, collecting the rent and doing a few inspections. When I select a PM for my investment properties I want to know that the manager has an understanding of gearing, finance, yields, ROI, building compliance, depreciation, insurance and all the things needed to help build and maximise my portfolio. It's refreshing to see the PM team at O'Brien's Carrum Downs taking the time to understand the investor needs!!
Not all agencies are the same, and I am pleased that the Directors of the Carrum Downs office think it's important for their staff to attend training. read more
