Property Management - answerIn Florida, more than some other states, there is a real
need for property managers because so many owners are absentee owners, persons
who own real estate but do not reside in that real estate. Property managers are
licensed Florida real estate brokers who, under law, perform duties and services on
behalf of the owner. Generally, a property manager is defined as one who preserves the
value of an investment (by an owner) while generating income as an agent for the
owner. The property manager's specific duties will be contained in a Property
Management Agreement.
Services a Property Manager May Provide
The Florida Property Manager may provide many different services for the owner.
Specific duties should be spelled out in a Property Management Agreement and signed
by both parties. A sales associate acting as a Property Manager must be under the
direction and guidance of a real estate broker.
Some Specific functions would be to:
Budget expenses for the property
Evaluate the rental market
Advertise and market the property
Rent the property under the guidelines of the owner
Maintain good relationships with the tenants
Handle any environmental concerns
Adjust the rates with the market and the consent of the owner
Show property/ies
Maintain the property in good repair

responsibility would make the fiduciary liable for any damage caused by any such
action.
