A good property management company for renting out a home?

posted Sep 1, 2016
Ask AOA

door open welcome matMiriam emails:

We're thinking of renting out a home we own in Latham and wanted to know if anyone had recommendations for property management companies who could handle finding tenants and administering the property. Thanks in advance!

We've known a few people who have rented out homes for a year because of temprory work moves or something similar, and there were a lot of details to nail down. So maybe a property managment company can make it easier. Or maybe you have other ideas to suggest.

Have a suggestion for Miriam? Please share! And sentence or two about why you're recommending of company can be a big help.

Just make sure that whoever is doing holds a NYS Real Estate license. It is required in NY if a third party is handling your property management.
