What does a property management company do?

A property manager handles the day-to-day operations of a rental, including marketing, tenant screening, rent collection, maintenance coordination, inspections, and lease enforcement. Management also ensures the property is operated in compliance with local and state laws.

How much does property management cost?

Property management fees in Albuquerque typically range between 8% and 12% of collected rent, depending on the property type, condition, and level of service required. Final pricing is determined after reviewing the property and aligning on management scope.

How do you handle maintenance and repairs?

Maintenance requests are coordinated through a structured system that prioritizes safety, habitability, and cost control. Owners are kept informed through the owner portal, and pre-approved spending limits are followed in accordance with the management agreement.

How often do you inspect the property?

Properties are inspected at key points, including move-in, move-out, and periodically during tenancy. Inspections help identify maintenance needs early, verify lease compliance, and protect the long-term condition of the property.

Can I still use my own vendors or contractors?

Yes, provided they are properly licensed, insured, and meet operational requirements. Coordination with owner-preferred vendors may be accommodated, subject to scheduling, availability, and management oversight.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?

Most management agreements are structured as annual terms and may include defined cancellation provisions. Agreement terms, including any notice requirements or fees, are outlined clearly in the management agreement.

Can I access information about my property online?

Yes. Owners have access to a secure online portal where they can view financial statements, leases, maintenance history, and property performance at any time.

Is property management regulated in New Mexico?

Yes. Property management in New Mexico is regulated by the New Mexico Real Estate Commission. Individuals performing property management services must hold an active real estate broker’s license in accordance with state requirements.

How are tenants screened?

Tenant screening includes credit history, rental history, background checks, and income verification. All applicants are evaluated using written rental standards and in compliance with Fair Housing laws.

How is rent collected and disbursed to me?

Rent is collected through secure online payment systems, and owner proceeds are disbursed monthly via direct deposit. Detailed financial statements are provided through the owner portal.

Do you handle evictions?

Eviction processes are coordinated in accordance with New Mexico’s Uniform Owner–Resident Relations Act (UORRA). Owners are kept informed throughout each stage, from required notices through resolution.

How do you ensure legal compliance?

We operate in accordance with applicable laws, including Fair Housing, the New Mexico Uniform Owner–Resident Relations Act (UORRA), SCRA, and local ordinances. Our policies and procedures are regularly updated to align with current requirements and reduce risk to the property.

What types of properties do you manage?

We manage single-family homes, condos, townhomes, and small multi-family properties throughout the Albuquerque metro area.
