Property manager resource · vendor evaluation
The strongest proposal is not the one with the broadest promises. It is the one that clearly defines authority, duties, exclusions, staffing, documentation, escalation, and how performance will be reviewed.
Request current evidence appropriate to the assignment and jurisdiction rather than relying on general website claims.
Document the exact locations, time windows, duties, prohibited actions, access rules, keys or credentials, resident or tenant interactions, notification contacts, emergency escalation, and report expectations.
Before relying on GPS, checkpoints, photographs, portals, or automatic reports, ask for a controlled demonstration using the system that will actually support the assignment. Confirm privacy, access, and retention controls.
A paid pilot should identify review dates and measurable criteria such as completed assigned activity, report quality, notification compliance, management feedback, staffing continuity, and approved adjustments.
