Why Choosing the Right Property Manager Matters More Than You Think

When it comes to managing your residential investment property, the quality of your property manager can mean the difference between steady growth and ongoing frustration.

What many landlords don’t realise is this:
According to REB, the average career span for a new property manager is just 9 months.

Why so short?
Because many agencies overload their staff. It’s not uncommon to see property-to-manager ratios exceed 200:1. Under that kind of pressure, property managers aren’t really managing — they’re simply monitoring.

And that leads to problems:

  • Rushed inspections

  • Delayed maintenance

  • Poor communication with tenants and owners

 

At Creese Property, we do things differently.

We deliberately limit our property-to-manager ratio to no more than 80:1.
This allows us to provide:

  • Regular, proactive communication with both owners and tenants

  • Thorough quarterly inspections that catch issues before they escalate

  • The attention and professional care your asset deserves

 

True property management is more than basic oversight.

It’s about:
🛡️ Protecting your investment through proactive care
🗣️ Delivering clear and timely communication
🤝 Providing peace of mind through expert guidance and service

 

Many landlords compare agencies based on fees alone.
But like many professional services, the cheapest option often becomes the most expensive in the long run — through missed maintenance, poor tenant selection, or extended vacancy.

 

At Creese Property, our goal is simple:

Property. Managed. Better.

If you’re ready for a higher standard of property management, we’d love to hear from you.
