Considering a Change in Navarre
Switch Property Management Companies in Navarre
If you’re unhappy with your current property manager, you don’t have to stay with a management relationship that isn’t working. Navarre Beach Realty can help you understand your options and determine whether a change makes sense for your rental property.
When Management Isn’t Working
Your Property Manager Should Make Ownership Easier.
A management company is supposed to reduce the work and stress of owning a rental property, not create more of it.
If you’re chasing updates, questioning maintenance charges, dealing with prolonged vacancies or struggling to get answers, it may be time to review your options.
Changing management companies is a significant decision, but it does not have to be an overwhelming one. The first step is understanding your current situation and what you want from a new management relationship.
Common Reasons Owners Switch
Does Any of This Sound Familiar?
Owners often begin looking for a new management company after one or more parts of the relationship stop meeting expectations.
You’re Not Getting Answers
Calls or emails go unanswered, updates are inconsistent, or you are unsure who is responsible for your property.
Repairs Feel Unclear
You want to understand what is being repaired, why it is needed and how maintenance decisions are being handled.
Your Property Stays Empty
A prolonged vacancy can affect rental income and may raise questions about pricing, marketing and showing activity.
Tenant Issues Keep Reaching You
One reason owners hire a manager is to avoid becoming the first call every time a tenant has a question or problem.
You Want Better Reporting
Owners should be able to understand rental income, expenses and property-management activity without unnecessary confusion.
You Want More Attention
A local owner may still want a management team that knows the property, the neighborhood and the local rental market.
What Good Management Should Provide
A Better Management Relationship Starts With Clear Expectations.
The goal is not simply to replace one company with another. The goal is to find a management relationship that fits your property and your expectations.
Clear Communication
You should know who to contact, how communication works and when you can expect updates.
Professional Leasing
Marketing, applicant screening and leasing should be handled consistently and professionally.
Maintenance Coordination
Property issues should have a defined process for response, communication and owner approval when appropriate.
Rent Collection
Monthly rent administration should be organized and predictable.
Financial Reporting
Owners should be able to understand rental income and property expenses.
Local Knowledge
Your management company should understand the Navarre rental market and the practical realities of managing property locally.
Before You Make the Change
Review Your Current Management Agreement.
Before changing companies, take the time to review your current management agreement. Look for the required notice period, termination provisions, outstanding obligations, tenant-related responsibilities and any fees associated with ending the relationship.
You should also gather your important property records so the transition can be organized if you decide to move forward.
We can discuss your current situation and the information needed to evaluate a potential transition.
Discuss Your PropertyThe Transition
Changing Property Managers Doesn’t Have to Mean Starting Over.
Your property already has a history. The objective of a transition is to move the important information to the new management relationship as efficiently as possible.
Evaluate
Tell us about the property, current tenancy, management situation and why you’re considering a change.
Review
Discuss the existing agreement, property needs and the responsibilities involved in a transition.
Transition
If you choose to move forward, coordinate the transfer of relevant property and tenant information.
Manage
Once the transition is complete, ongoing rental management moves into the new management process.
Current Management Pricing
Know What Our Basic Management Costs.
Our current long-term property management pricing is a $100 one-time setup fee plus a 10% monthly management fee.
For a property renting for $2,000 per month, the 10% management fee would be $200 for that month. The $100 setup fee is charged once when management begins.
Property-specific repairs and maintenance are separate property expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch property management companies?
In many situations, yes. The first step is reviewing your current management agreement and understanding its termination and transition requirements.

Start by reviewing your current agreement, then discuss your property and situation with the prospective new manager. If you decide to move forward, the transition can be coordinated around the existing agreement and tenant responsibilities.
Will my tenant have to move if I change property managers?
Changing property management companies does not by itself mean a tenant has to move. Existing lease obligations and the transition should be handled carefully.

What if I’m unhappy with communication from my current manager?
