With over 2 million property investors in Australia, and more people investing in property every year, there is an increased demand for top industry professionals to handle the day-to-day management of these properties.  —— Mcgrath

How to be a good property manager and how should we start? McGrath outlined below are 8 qualities that define a high-performing property manager, which we hope will help you find the right one.

1. Have excellent communication skills 

Communication is key to any great relationship and the landlord/property manager is no different.

2. Be highly efficient and organized

A good property manager can have multiple properties under their management so finding one that knows how to manage their time and priorities to ensure that all of their landlords and tenants are looked after is important. 

3. Be trained and educated with a focus on continual education

High-performing property managers know that to stay at the top of their game they need to continue to learn about the industry, the market, and broader investment trends, along with staying across the ever-changing Landlord / Tenant Legislation.  

4. Have in-depth knowledge about the local rental market

Every neighborhood is different, in fact, every street within every neighborhood is different.  So, when choosing a property manager, finding one who understands the idiosyncrasies of your local market is key.  

5. Be experienced or part of a highly experienced property management team

6. Have an investor mindset with a focus on helping their landlords maximize their investment success

7. Have strong references from both landlords and renters

Being endorsed by both landlords and renters is a good indicator of the quality of the property manager.   All good property managers should have no issue in being able to provide written testimonials from both landlords and investors. Check their Google reviews and ask them about their customer experience systems.

8. Have a strong ability to negotiate and be stern when required
