Recently met a real estate agent who was distributing postcards my neighbourhood, took the time to approach him ask him about his business and gave him my card, and offered him a referral.

Commercial and Retail Property Managers – The Things You Must Do Every Day

Posted by admin in Commercial Real Estate, Property Management on August 7, 2011

Commercial property management is a complex job. Most days are very busy and require good time management skills on the part of the property manager. Many come unstuck through ineffective control of their diary and tasks. Stress is the result and careers can be shortened.
