I had the opportunity to chat with Malia Sharpe & Sam Pyne from On Tap Plumbing. The discussion was around critical responsibilities of property managers regarding work health and safety. This discussion is particularly relevant when engaging contractors for maintenance and repairs. The episode highlighted the importance of ensuring that contractors have the necessary licenses, insurance, and safety protocols in place. 

Key Responsibilities of Property Managers

Property managers must ensure that contractors have the necessary licenses and insurance before engaging them for any work.

It is crucial to confirm that contractors have appropriate safety protocols in place to mitigate risks associated with their work.

These days, property managers are faced with a lot of challenges, one being pressure from landlords to find the cheapest provider. This can often lead to hiring less qualified contractors which poses significant risks

Property managers must strike a balance between cost-effectiveness and ensuring the safety of all parties involved. This involves pushing back against the pressure to choose cheaper options without proper vetting.

Here are some important things for property managers to consider when handling maintenance:

• When onboarding contractors, property managers must be clear about the tasks involved and the qualifications required for those tasks.
• Knowing and ensuring that contractors hold the appropriate licenses for the job, such as plumbing or electrical tasks.
• Be aware of any additional training requirements, such as working at heights, especially if the job involves accessing roofs or elevated areas.
• If property managers are unsure about the necessary licenses for specific jobs, it is crucial to educate themselves about the requirements. Reaching out to reputable companies like On Tap Plumbing for guidance can be beneficial.
• The use of technology, such as the Tapi system, can help property managers track compliance and insurance documentation. This system alerts property managers if any documents are expired before issuing work orders, ensuring that all contractors meet safety requirements.
• Having a dedicated person in the office responsible for onboarding and maintaining contractor records is essential. This individual should regularly follow up on renewals and ensure that all documentation is up to date.
• Informing Contractors About Potential Risks: Effective communication between property managers and contractors is crucial. Property managers must provide detailed information about any known hazards at properties, su

Is it possible to be a large agency AND offer your clients a personal service? Join us for a conversation with Deb Gidman from Resident Property, who shares her previous career from managing 200 properties to a staggering 5,500. Deb is now a solo operator and her expertise in office management, acquisitions, and integration provides a unique perspective on the dynamics between larger and smaller property management agencies. 

Our discussion also uncovers the complexities of providing personal service within large real estate agencies. Through engaging stories, Deb emphasizes the importance of attention to detail and end-to-end management, illustrating the role of remote professionals in streamlining tasks. Communication with landlords emerges as a critical aspect, especially during vacancies or management transitions. In a world where operational efficiency often conflicts with personal service, Deb shares how "good news calls" and tailored communication methods can enhance client relationships while maintaining a balance.

As businesses grow, so do the challenges of team dynamics and client experience. Deb and I explore strategies for managing these challenges, highlighting the importance of consistent processes and the personal touch. 

We talk about the benefits and challenges of both small and large teams, where a single main client contact and a mindset of working as if for oneself can significantly enhance service.
