What Have You Done For Your Tenants Today? via Manager Labs

If you think being a Property Manager is about maintenance, utilities, contracting, technology advances or troubleshooting, you are sadly mistaken. Property Management is about “Customer Service” first. The entire purpose and being of a Property Manager is about tenant satisfaction and tenant retention. There is nothing else it is about.

It is probably the last thing you hear folks talk about or plan for or think of, and it should be the first!
