Benefits of a Resident Manager

Benefits to Owners

  • Unit owners in buildings managed by a ARAMA Resident Manager have investments monitored by a person living on the site – fellow owners who also share an interest in the success of the building.
  • When items in the common property need repair or attention, the Resident Manager is there to identify and resolve a problem.
  • The Resident Manager is usually the first to be aware of damage, noise or security concerns on the site and is in a position to take action.
  • Without a Resident Manager , there may be a delay before someone “owns the problem”.
  • A Resident Manager who belongs to ARAMA keeps in touch with legislative issues, industry activities and industry practices.
  • Where the owner has his unit managed by a Resident Manager, the owner receives the benefit of the Manager’s marketing knowledge, particularly regarding changing trends.
  • This knowledge should enable the manager to respond to changing trends, such as shorter holidays and holidays booked at much later notice.
  • The manager will also be involved with the cleaning and presentation of the unit after each letting, reducing the chances of maintenance items being left unattended.
  • The manager also develops a list of reliable tradesmen who can carry out repairs promptly and at reasonable cost.
