Online Courses for Property Managers 

The most efficient way to deliver good training is to do it online. For over a decode we have been NARPM approved in Georgia for delivering CE credit. We’re set up pretty well to do this with an inhouse studio with professional lighting, 50’ TV, teleprompter, green screen and post production facilities in place to produce good quality videos. We also secured university online software to deliver the classes in the most professional format.

We lay them out on this page under titles and descriptions of content. Some are classes with lessons while others are a series of topic-specific training videos. Videos are 10 to 20 minutes in duration and some come with document downloads, powerpoint slides and study guides.

Onboarding New Owners

For most property managers the onboarding process is haphazard, by the seat-of-the-pants and thrown together without much forethought. New managers (and veterans alike) have so many things to figure out that a great onboarding process gets pushed to the back of the to-do list to “someday we’ll figure it out” and, in the meantime, they miss out on lots of new owners. This onboarding process needs to be a high priority because we all lose owners every month and need to grow our numbers. The question is, “what does a great onboarding process look like and how can I get there quickly?”

One of the things we did really well at Crown was bring new owners onboard. During our last 8 years in business we signed up 16 to 25 new owners a month and had a well oiled process to make this happen. We’ve put together a complete package of onboarding documents, processes and training (plus a full library of training videos) to help managers build this all important segment of their business. This video series is part of that package.

Building a Killer Lease Agreement

After reading 100 lease agreements as a consultant I’ve figured out that although managers do this business very differently, there are common stipulations that belong in every lease regardless of your model or state regulations. Managers constantly add language that shouldn’t be there, language that complicates their processes and prevents them from being scalable, profitable and language that exposes them to unwanted litigation. Managers often copy and paste from other’s agreements without realizing they’re handcuffing themselves to archaic language that only hinders them from managing effectively. Agents often adopt their realtor association standardized agreement and don’t realize the limitations of the language in those agreements. Others just keep adding more and more stipulations in hopes of managing through their document instead of giving themselves the freedom they need to maximize profits and protect themselves. This is about building a killer lease agreement and is generic enough to fit every state and model.
This breakout session was done at a NARPM national conference in San Deigo in October of 2018 by Robert Locke and attorney Monica Gilroy.

Built to Grow (Over 2 hours in 15 Videos)

Everyone naturally builds their management processes to handle the number of properties they have today. Few realize that how they manage today, won’t work at double the size. What works at 50 MPH doesn’t work at 100 MPH. How you manage 300 houses doesn’t work at 500 houses. Just because it’s working today, doesn’t mean it will work if you grow.

So, how does a manager evaluate their systems and processes in anticipation of doubling their number of houses? Join us in this workshop and we’ll show you. This workshop addresses the issues of streamlining your agreements and systems so you can add another 200 properties without the wheels coming off. Being scalable is relevant to everyone no matter what size they are today.

When Agency Duties and the Law Collide Online Course

Sales agents never make decisions for their clients. They are practicing ‘Small a Agency.’ Property managers make lots of decisions for their owners but must also follow the many laws that govern the landlord- tenant relationship. Property managers practice what’s called ‘Big A Agency.’ Often the laws, and our agency relationship with the owner, are in stark contrast and managers have to say tell their clients no or that have no choice and must. Owners are not accustomed to their real estate agents telling them they must, or they can’t, so agency duties often collide with the law. We’ll examine some of these situations and help managers sort out when to insist, when to cave in and do what the owner wants, and when to terminate the owner to protect their license and business.

Limiting Litigation by Understanding the Balance of Power in Property Management Agreements

Have you ever wondered why the tenant usually wins when standing before a judge? Why has our federal government set specific laws to protect tenants and not the owners? Why do judges side with the tenant when they are often the ones who caused the damage? Why do owners throw property managers under the bus when in the courtroom?

There is a specific reason why the property manager has a disadvantage when entering the courtroom and, if we understand the primary reason, we can protect ourselves with better policies and CYA language in our agreements and documents.

This set of lessons are an online class we offer within the Primary Truths category. Property managers should be able to explain the issues relevant to this topic to help diminish the risks which are inherent in this uneven balance of power between the tenant, owner and property manager.
