Las Vegas Property Management

First Full Service Realty offers property management for the entire Las Vegas Valley, including Las Vegas, North Las Vegas, and Henderson.

Real estate property management has four major areas of responsibility:

Our property managers control initiatives in maximizing the return on investment of the property through efficient performance of these four function areas of responsibility. We act in the best interests of the owner to maintain the property, keep it occupied with tenants, collect rents, budget improvements and maintain records

Marketing and Financial

Real estate property management involves an understanding of operating expenses and budgeting. From this information, appropriate rental rates are set, balanced by the current market and what it will support in the way of rents. A firm knowledge of the area and competitive rental properties is required.

The property manager may recommend marketing programs, special promotions and other advertising strategies to the owner in order to maximize occupancy and rental rates. Regular financial reporting to the owners is required. Understanding financial statements, profit, and loss, income taxes and budgeting are all very important for the property manager.

Tenant and Occupancy

Understanding the needs of the tenants is important for this function. Getting them to move in is only the beginning. The property manager must then respond to their requests, monitor their activities as regards the lease requirements, collect rent in a timely manner, and continually assess the tenants’ satisfaction as regards the property’s amenities versus those of competing for rental properties in the area. The unwelcome task of eviction for violations or non-payment is part of this function also.

Facility Management

Property management is also the physical management of the structures and outdoor areas. Landscaping, electrical, plumbing, roof, walls, appliances, and much more are all part of the physical property. The property manager must maintain relationships with contractors and repair companies, budget capital expenditures, and monitor the quality of all repairs and maintenance.

This function ties in with the financial piece, as some improvements will require significant capital expenditures and budgeting for them. It ties in with tenant and occupancy management because it is important to tenant retention to have well-maintained properties.

Administration & Risk Management

This is the files and records part of the property management function. Federal, state and local governments all have some jurisdiction over real estate property management activities. Certain reporting requirements must be met for all of them. Meticulous records for accounting and taxes are a must.

For reasons of liability, all activities and tenant interaction must be recorded and maintained for specified periods. Though also related to financial functions, there are very rigid requirements in most states for the handling of funds paid by renters for disbursement to owners.

Property management accounted by far for the most consumer complaints and disciplinary actions by the real estate commission. Unlike most real estate transactions when you are representing one side of the transaction, property management involves dealing with property owners and tenants. The complexity and dynamics of dealing with owners and tenants add to risk.
