Are they a member of NARPM?
Find out if the property manager is a member of the National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM). The organization has a website: narpm.org. This is a great organization that legitimate property managers belong to. If you access the group’s website and search for a property manager in the San Antonio area, you will be provided with a list of local professionals who you can reach out to and interview. This should be your first stop when you go looking for a property manager.

Do a thorough background check on your own
Check out any property management companies you are considering. Look at their websites, talk to references and access their information with the Better Business Bureau. See if there is any feedback from current or former customers on Google or other online reviews you can tap into.
One very important key point I would like to make is that you must ask to see their current inventory. Once you see the types of properties they manage, ask to see the marketing being done on that inventory. You want to see what they are doing to market the homes they have for rent. You don’t want to consider what they say they’re going to do; you want to take a look at the actual proof and check out what they’re doing now. You want to see marketing that includes a lot of pictures, a strong property description and a video.

Interview property managers
Have a brief chat over the phone or set up a meeting so you can get together in person. This is a good opportunity for you to talk about your property and share your needs. A good property manager will provide feedback on how to best take care of your property and advertise it. You should know from this interview whether the property manager is a good fit for you and your property.
