Real Estate and Property Management Risk Assessment
Real Estate and Property Management is the process of overseeing and maintaining commercial, residential, and industrial properties. This includes tasks such as marketing and leasing properties, screening tenants, collecting rent, maintaining and repairing properties, budgeting and financial management, compliance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations, building and maintaining relationships with tenants and owners, and responding to tenant inquiries and resolving disputes.
The goal of real estate and property management is to maximize the financial return on investment for property owners while providing safe, well-maintained, and attractive properties for tenants. It requires a combination of financial, administrative, and customer service skills, as well as a thorough understanding of local real estate laws and regulations.
