Selecting a Property Management Company

Dear Property Manager,

I currently own a 20,000 square foot office/retail space (can sub by 1000) in Charlotte which will become available in May of this year. I would like to know how to select the right type of property management company. I am planning on handling the advertising/listing portion myself, but would need someone to handle the leasing arrangements, maintenance and rent collection. Thank you.

Charlie J.

Dear Charlie,

First, look around in the neighborhoods or near your building and look who handles the management for those buildings. A lot of the times the property management company will post a sign. Also, you can ask other building owners who they use. Hopefully Kuester will be on your list! Then I recommend you make appointments with the top three that catch your eye. Meet in person with each company, ask them about their experience with property similar to yours, and if they think you are a good fit for them—and then get references.

Then… definitely check those references.

After you have gone through this process, you should be able to choose the best property management company for you—and I do hope you chose us!

Please give contact us today to set up our “interview”. I look forward to hearing from you.
