In Virginia, every real estate licensee (also know as real estate agent) is required to successfully complete a state-approved course on real estate, pass a background check and pass a state-approved test. A Realtor must do all this and more. Of the more than two million people who have earned real estate licenses, only a few of them are Realtors. It's true that all Realtors in the Commonwealth of Virginia are members in good standing of the National Association of Realtors, the Virginia Association of Realtors, and a local real estate board. To retain good standing, every Realtor is required to adhere to well-defined high standards of ethical behavior. Also, each and every Realtor must undergo continuing education to remain in good standing. You might not know that agents and property managers of Nesbitt Realty are Realtors!

While there are significant benefits from employing a property manager, there is also an associated expense with hiring a property management company. In addition to the costs of property management, there are other reasons why rental property management might not be for every landlord. Weigh the following questions to decide if employing a property management company would be a good decision for you. Factors to consider:

Will you reside and work not far from your rental property? Northern Virginia and to a certain extent Stillhaven is a very transient region. Northern Virginia has more than our share of military, diplomats, State Department, political appointees and academia. If you're getting transferred across the country or around the world, it might be a good idea to let a professional manage your rental. Even simple tasks can get complicated very quickly when you aren't around to manage the details.
Do you want to handle the details of rental property management? Some landlords look forward to the challenge of finding good tenants. Some property owners find that keeping up with maintenance and managing little tasks is pleasurable. Hence, they enjoy fielding early morning calls. Nevertheless, if you don't want more work, you may not want the duties of managing your own rental property. When, you want little or nothing to do with the routine tasks, you would be smart to consider employing a property management company to handle your investment.
Do you want to argue with your renters? If you have tenants, sooner or later you will have to deal with problems. Even if you find hands-on management rewarding of the property, you may not find managing your tenants is fun. In addition, if you're not a full-time rental property manager, you can get in deep trouble in a hurry if you don't know tenant's right. If you've already got your hands full, then the last thing you want is extra hassles. For this reason, employing a rental property manager may be a smart (and tax deductible) expense.
Can you afford the cost? Let's face it. employing a rental property manager is much more attractive option if you're not in a cash crunch. If monthly cash-flow is not an issue, you'll probably save money by hiring a rental property manager and writing off the expense. But if at the end of every month cash is tight, you might not want to pay a property management company.
Can you afford the risk? Do you understand the Virginia Residential Landlord Tenant Act? Do you understand the tenant's rights? Do you know your responsibilities? The more you understand property management in today's litigious society the more you'll understand the value of paying an expert on your side.
Do you have maintenance people? Every investment requires maintenance. If your tenant contacts for repairs will you know who to phone and what to do in a timely fashion? Do you know which repairs are the real estate investor's expense and which repairs are a renter expense. If not, you may want to think about hiring a property management company.
