ESL Podcast 1192 – Using a Property Management Company 


Sonia: Hello, Fickle 1 Property Management Company. 


Frank: Hello, I own an office building on Broadway Boulevard and I’m interested in hiring a property management company. 


Sonia: You’ve called the right place. We help you advertise your vacant units, show empty properties, and screen prospective 2 tenants 3


Frank: The building is partially 4 occupied right now and I want to be sure that any new tenants are financially sound. 


Sonia: That’s why we require a rental 5 application with financial details and check their credit history. We are very thorough. 


Frank: Will you also draw up the rental agreement? 


Sonia: Yes, we handle all of the rental details, including the deposit and delivery of keys. 


Frank: What if tenants have problems? 


Sonia: We are on call 24/7 and will send out someone from our maintenance department to deal with any problems. 


Frank: This sounds like what I’m looking for. What is your fee structure? 


Sonia: Oh, our services are very reasonable. 


Frank: When can you start? 


Sonia: As soon as you sign an agreement with us. 


Frank: Great. Can you email the agreement to me right now? The building has some stopped-up toilets that need attention ASAP!
