A PM listing kit is something you don’t see too often these days, and it can come in different forms.
Too many property managers and business development managers (BDMs) don’t use a visual display of their services or show examples of property management in action.
The ‘show and tell’ just becomes a ‘tell’ missing the stronger impact of an added visual presentation.
Whether you prefer an electronic iPad presentation or a hard-copy presentation folder, the display is up to you;
…however, showing an example of how you practice property management is essential.
In any case, here’s a comprehensive list of all the different things you can possibly have in your Listing Kit.
Just pick and choose what will work best for you!
