Property Management: Your Business Is Our Business

According to Wikipedia, property management is “the operation, control, and oversight of
real estate…This is akin to the role of management in any business.” When you or your
client rents out real property, it becomes a business—a storefront—and the tenants are
the customers. As with any business, whether it’s a restaurant, a health clinic, or a car
dealership, there are myriad rules and regulations to follow, customer service issues to
negotiate, and accounting challenges to overcome. To build on Wikipedia’s definition,
Maple Leaf Property Management is not just a property management company, we’re a
business management company. It’s our job to maximize prots, maintain excellent
customer service, and make sure the business is in compliance with all of the rules and
regulations associated with our industry. Whether the owner lives two blocks from his or
her property or lives on the other side of the world, they can be confident that we’re making sure their “business” is running smoothly.
