Question 9 of 43

How have you improved as a property manager over the years?

"I have definitely come a long way since the early days of my career. These days, I am much more focused on finding the right tenant for each space. I am less concerned about simply filling the space and more concerned about the long term. For commercial spaces, I consider how the potential business might fit in with businesses in the area and whether my space is a good fit for it. My job is much less stressful when there is less turnover. Because of my established relationships with contractors and service providers, I am much more efficient in hiring people and solving problems. I've learned who I can trust and to spend money on quality over quantity. I'm always looking to work smarter, fine tune my strategy and processes, and learn more about property management."
