When most people think about outsourcing services, they believe it will result in a worse customer experience. But outsourcing in the right way can have the opposite effect. As a commercial landlord, for instance, outsourcing property management could make you a better and more responsive landlord. How? Here are a few key ways. 

1. You Have More Time

A landlord who isn't inundated with everything needed to keep a big commercial property running is one who has more time to spend on important things instead. When a management service handles standard work like collecting rent, vetting tenants, and maintenance and repairs, you can get to know tenants' needs and oversee more important upgrades and changes. 

2. Professionals Handle Contact

Preventing tenant/landlord conflicts and de-escalating situations is vital for good relations. And one good way to do this is to use trained professionals to handle much of the interaction between both parties. Property management companies have experience with many tenant problems and meet them with aplomb and professionalism. This reflects better on you as the owner. 

3. Vendors Are Better Quality

The vendors you choose to fix issues and keep up the property reflect on you — for better or worse. So if they are well-vetted and have a long track record of quality service, you look good to tenants. Your property management company has a network of vendors they have vetted for years and in a variety of situations. You'll get quality work without doing all the extra legwork.

4. They Know Legal Requirements

Failure to follow the rules of being a landlord and applying your own rules unevenly are two quick ways to alienate tenants. So you need a partner who understands your legal obligations and the rights of both you and your tenants. Working within these parameters, a good management service avoids illegal actions and respects the rights of your renters. 

5. You Feel Less Stress

Being a landlord isn't always easy. But a landlord who enjoys their work generally provides a better experience to their tenants — and potentially vice versa. So, if landlord work is getting you down, why not hand off some of it? When you outsource the daily work or the parts of it that you dislike, you can focus on why you got into this line of business in the first place.
