Running a business can often be a thankless job. When you couple that with the business being a property management company, the things that can keep you up at night are endless. In January, the Sperry Van Ness® property management team conducted a survey of 100 commercial property management executives across the country to identify the issues with which they were struggling in their business. The results overwhelmingly identified 5 issues that challenge property management executives in 2014. Overwhelmingly, the executives surveyed stated that:
- We need a better pipeline for future business.
- We lack referrals for new business.
- We are not considered a preferred provider for larger or institutional landlords.
- We need more/better access to larger or institutional landlords.
- We lack marketing.
