A lot of newbie real estate investors will try to save some money and manage their properties themselves. If there are only one or two properties they are managing, then it can be totally doable. Of course, they will have to overcome that realization that even being on call regarding just one property can turn into a full-time job in and of itself. There will be those middle of the night calls about water leaks and clogged toilets, as well as the constant maintenance and upkeep that needs to be done to protect their investment.
This is why most veteran investors will leave it to the pros, which means trying to find the very best Las Vegas rental property management company. These investors quickly discover that if they find the right company, the fees for their services are well worth the time and trouble in the long run.
But how do you find the very best in the business? Going off online reviews is great, but who knows how many of those reviews are real, and how many of the bad reviews are just people complaining about unrealistic expectations?
Online Reviews and Their Authenticity
In marketing online reviews are important due to a staple of marketing called social proof. This idea in the marketing field is used to show evidence that other people have purchased the good or service and found value in their investment. When potential buyers of a good or service see that others have found value in the product or service, they will be much more likely to make the investment. Social proof is also why word-of-mouth is, and always will be, the very best referral source as well.
Social proof is why a lot of potential customers will only look at the reviews of a company when deciding which one to call. In fact, a lot of people will decide which company really is the best Las Vegas rental property management company based on reviews alone.
The problem with this is just anyone can leave a review, customer or not. Companies can have all of their friends and relatives leave fake reviews on their business profile and nobody would know the difference. On the other hand, people will hire a company with completely unrealistic expectations regarding that company’s services. Then, when those ridiculous expectations are not met, they take to the internet to vent their frustrations in a review that does not do the company any justice at all.
