A successful property management company is one that has weathered the inevitable bumps in the profession’s road. Many newcomers to the industry start out with little experience but a great deal of determination, doing everything they know how to do to create a sustainable, successful business. But unfortunately for many of these determined business owners, their best intentions are simply not enough. One of the top reasons that a property management company ultimately fails is that it is missing the essential business systems that support long-term success.
The business of running a successful property management company requires certain systems to be in place from the start. No property management company will last long without effective sales and marketing programs, streamlined operations systems, solid accounting processes, functional information systems, and more. Expertise in each of these areas is a fundamental component to sustaining and growing a successful property management company.
Once these systems are in place, the key is to make sure that they are repeatable.
Hiring great people to handle advertising your rental homes or showing properties and signing leases is important, but if they are the only ones in your company with expertise in these areas, you might find yourself in a difficult situation if and when they decide to leave. Similarly, relying too much on your operations expert for handling tenant requests, maintenance and repairs, or evictions can concentrate too much knowledge in one position and leave a gaping hole in your business when your expert moves on.
This is why documented, repeatable systems are the key to a successful property management company. Creating them yourself is an option, but when you become a franchise owner of a Real Property Management office, these critical systems are provided for you. No need to build them from scratch, keep using what you have now, or make many of the common errors that most do-it-yourself property managers make early on.
As a franchise owner, you’ll have access to a team of property management experts as well as business coaches, IT professionals, marketing specialists, and more. The Real

Another key benefit of owning a Real Property Management franchise is the preferential pricing they can offer on necessities like repair and maintenance supplies, bookkeeping and payroll, software, and much more. Finally, their innovative systems and processes come with comprehensive training and owner support, meaning you’ll never flounder around looking for answers to your most pressing business questions.
