Do All Landlords Share the Same Standards?

Yesterday, I had an interesting conversation with a landlord about adding his property to our portfolio. He was open to the idea of using his property for serviced accommodation but was fixated on one thing: money.
He wanted to significantly increase the rent and even tried to instigate a bidding war between Pearl Property Management and another potential client.
At first glance, it’s easy to understand where he was coming from. After all, a landlord’s primary goal is to generate income. But what this landlord failed to realize was the bigger picture of what partnering with Pearl Property Management could truly offer.
The Pearl Property Difference
This property needed some minor work to bring it up to our "Pearl Approved" standard. While the landlord focused solely on immediate financial gain, he overlooked the long-term benefits of working with a company like ours. Here’s what he could have gained:
A Property Refurbishment With PPM, his property would undergo minor refurbishments, enhancing its appeal and increasing its overall value.
Meticulous Maintenance The property would be regularly maintained, ensuring it stays in top condition year-round.
Guest Vetting We carefully vet every guest, ensuring only responsible individuals stay in the property.
Peace of Mind With us managing his property, he could focus on other aspects of his life without worrying about day-to-day issues.
The Other Side of the Coin
In contrast, by chasing the highest bidder and focusing solely on short-term profit, the landlord risked:
No Refurbishment Missing out on upgrades that could enhance the property’s value and market appeal.
Neglected Maintenance Without proper management, the property could fall into disrepair.
Lower-Quality Guests Accepting anyone without proper vetting could result in tenants who don’t respect the property.
5-star guests expect 5-star establishments.
Additional Stress Handling tenant issues and property upkeep personally, taking valuable time and energy.
Not Every Landlord Shares 5-Star Standards
This interaction left me reflecting:
"Do all landlords share my level of standards?"
The truth is, some landlords prioritize income over the condition and care of their property.
While that may work for them, it’s not how we operate at Pearl Property Management.
Our commitment is to 5-star care and attention for every property we manage. From meticulous cleaning to seamless maintenance, we treat each property like it’s our own. If you’re a landlord who values quality, professionalism, and peace of mind over short-term gain, you’ll understand why Pearl Property Management is the right choice.
The Bottom Line
At Pearl Property Management, we’re about more than just rent; we’re about partnership, improvement, care, and long-term value.
If you share our standards and want the very best for your property, contact us today. Your property deserves the Pearl Property Seal of Approval.
