We are in many respects a vested partner since we don\u2019t make a penny unless you\u2019re getting paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mitigating Risk<\/strong><br>Property management has its risks just like everything else but it is our expertise and experience that mitigates those risks and financial challenges as much as possible.\u00a0 We want our owners and property managers to be a team, a winning team, year in and year out. Our intent is to make your investment give you the largest return possible.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When in doubt look at the referrals and testimonials that both current and previous owners have made.&nbsp; The fact that the Atlas Group was voted as one of the Best of Las Vegas property management firms speaks volumes by itself.&nbsp; If a prospective owner would like to speak with a current client or two just ask the property manager for a couple of referrals and feel free to do your own investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What Does Good Property Management Cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many times, the owners we talk to are only concerned with one thing and that is price.&nbsp; What\u2019s it going to cost them to have a responsible, informed, experienced team member to facilitate the management of their property?&nbsp;&nbsp; Maybe a better question is, what\u2019s it going to cost if they don\u2019t have a manager with those qualities?&nbsp; Like most things in life, you get what you pay for.&nbsp; If you go for the absolute cheapest price, statistics and experience have shown that when the chips are down you might not get everything you need to properly handle your investment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Property Management Covering A to Z<\/strong><br>At the Atlas Group we handle everything from A to Z including a few other letters from both the Phoenician and Egyptian Hieroglyph alphabets for good measure.\u00a0 In fact, we have over a 50-point features and benefits package for our owners. Some of the larger categories of features include listing and showing properties, background checks and leasing, handling maintenance issues, interacting with HOA\u2019s, initiating and completing evictions to name just a few.\u00a0 The bottom line is we\u2019re protecting your asset and making it produce for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have been doing this since 1995 and have the systems in place that make sure we stay on top of your property.&nbsp; This allows you to do what it is that you do best and removes the stress associated with being a landlord.&nbsp; Nobody buys an investment property with the goal of also getting a 2<sup>nd<\/sup> or 3<sup>rd<\/sup> job of watching over it.&nbsp; And, if you have to micro manage the property manager what good are they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want more information on the rental market here in the greater Las Vegas valley or would like a free no obligation analysis of your property\u2019s rental potential, feel free to give us a call at 702-916-2222<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Las Vegas Property Management Owner Advantages\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DI189q8l1rQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>  \n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ExpectationsOne of the more daunting challenges that faces every investor is deciding which property management company to go with.\u00a0 There are many factors to take into account.\u00a0 Making sure that you and your property manager are on the same page is key.\u00a0 Expectations vary widely and if these expectations are not properly communicated there is [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":218,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,4,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-248","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investors","category-landlord-tips","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=248"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":253,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/248\/revisions\/253"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/property-mgmt.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
