Reviewing for the property management aspect. I hired The Moving Experience to manage a property I needed to rent out. They charge 1 month's rent + ten percent per month for this. What you can expect for that:
Tenants had a very hard time getting in contact with someone when there was an issue they needed to have looked at. Property manager didn't seem to ever look at property, I had stopped by one time and saw weeds the size of small trees, he had no idea. Also they didn't help to get any issues resolved, just acted as a middleman complicating things further since it would usually take a while to get a call back from them. I found it went much smoother when I'd communicate with the tenant directly.
I was often told by property manager that they couldn't do various things: coordinate between tenant and home warranty company to schedule repairs, never walked tenant through basic troubleshooting of problems (ie. check circuit breakers) they would just call me first. Couldn't find a contractor to do roof repairs, I had to search for myself. read more
