What You Should Get for Your Money
For your monthly fee, expect:
Minimum Standard: ✓ At least monthly inspections ✓ Photo reports ✓ Emergency response ✓ Utility payment management ✓ Basic maintenance coordination ✓ Email/phone support
Quality Standard: ✓ Detailed photo reports ✓ 24/7 emergency availability ✓ Vetted contractor network ✓ Transparent expense reporting ✓ Seasonal preparations ✓ Multilingual communication ✓ Owner visit coordination
How to Evaluate Value for Money
Don't just compare monthly fees. Consider:
Responsiveness and communication quality
Quality of reporting and documentation
Contractor quality and fair pricing
Prevention of expensive problems
Peace of mind value
A property manager charging €80/month who prevents a €3,000 emergency repair is worth far more than one charging €60/month who misses the problem.
