Why You Should Hire a Property Manager Instead of Going It Alone

If you’ve ever tried managing your own rental property, you know how quickly things can pile up. Between tenant issues, maintenance calls, and keeping everything in line with local regulations, it can feel like a second job. That's where Redfish Property Management steps in, we handle all the details so you don’t have to.

Take, for example, the property pictured above, one we started managing very recently. The homeowners used to handle everything on their own, but they eventually reached out to us to reclaim their time and let us take over the day-to-day responsibilities. So just like they learned the season, let us show you why hiring a property management company is a smart move for your investment:

1. Get Your Time Back Managing a rental property can be more time-consuming than most people realize. We recently took over a property where the owner had been juggling tenant calls, repairs, and everything in between on his own. He finally called us because he wanted his time back—and now, we handle it all for him, giving him the freedom to focus on what matters most in his life.

2. Professional Tenant Screening One of the biggest headaches of managing property on your own is finding and screening tenants. Without the proper tools and experience, it can be difficult to ensure you're bringing in renters who will treat your property well and pay on time. At Redfish Property Management, we handle tenant screening efficiently, checking backgrounds, verifying income, and making sure that only the most reliable tenants are approved. This takes the pressure off you and ensures your property is in good hands.

3. We Handle All the Little (and Big) Issues Things like maintenance requests or dealing with unexpected repairs can be a lot for one person to manage. We recently had a case with the property in the photo (you’ll see below), where the homeowner reached out because managing it alone had just become too much. From fixing leaky faucets to more serious repairs, we handle it all so the homeowner doesn’t have to.

4. Stress-Free Rent Collection Chasing down rent payments isn’t fun for anyone. When you manage your own property, it can be awkward and frustrating to deal with tenants who are late on their payments. With Redfish Property Management, we take care of all rent collection and handle any issues that arise, so you don’t have to have those tough conversations.

5. Legal Compliance Made Easy The laws surrounding rental properties are constantly changing, and it can be tough to keep up. Whether it’s ensuring your lease agreements are up to date or making sure your property meets all local safety standards, we know the rules inside and out. At Redfish Property Management, we make sure your property is compliant, so you can avoid costly legal mistakes.

6. Emergency Response, So You Don’t Have To: Picture this, It’s 2 a.m., and you get a call from a tenant about a broken pipe. Do you want to be the one handling that? Probably not. Our team is available to handle emergencies, giving you peace of mind and letting you rest easy, knowing your tenants are taken care of, no matter the hour.

7. We Maximize Your Income Potential A well-managed property with reliable tenants will generate more income in the long run. At Redfish Property Management, we know how to set competitive rental prices based on market trends and ensure your property stays occupied with quality tenants. The less time your property is vacant, the more money you’re making!
