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.
