you are exactly right, I don't think the property managers cares about the cost of maintenance as the cost goes directly to the landlord and doesn't affect their pay packet.
The trick is to find a property manager that has been around the block a few times. Older person that has owned their own home/s and understands what can go wrong. A lot of younger property managers/officers (many still at home) don't know, understand or want to know. Also my tradesmen inform me if the issue is due to tenants neglect or one that the tenant should of fixed, in these cases I call the tenant and inform them that they will need to pay the tradesman invoice.
Are you telling me that the PM should have grabbed a screwdriver and headed right over?
Is it just me or are all property managers in large RE firms the youngest and most inexperienced agents who are somewhere between the receptionist desk and team sales?

In my case, one of them was. She went out to the property to do the first home open and called the locksmith because I had not given her the front door key. This is what the locksmith told me he said to her over the phone: "I want you to take every key on the key ring, try it in the door and if it doesn't work, put it on the ground". Response: "oh, there it is". derp. Anyway, how good was the locksmith? He could have driven out and charged me a fee. He's a great bloke.Is it just me or are all property managers in large RE firms the youngest and most inexperienced agents who are somewhere between the receptionist desk and team sales?
I need a new maintenance boy who will drive around to look at locks and ovens - potentially hundreds of them![]()
