Whether an apartment building, condominium or commercial property - real estate requires a lot of attention and care. But what exactly does a property management company do? Many owners underestimate the effort involved in managing a property. In this article, we show you what tasks a professional property management company takes on, why it's worth working with them and what you can expect from GWB Hausverwaltung.

What does a property management company do?

A property management company takes on the commercial, technical and legal management of real estate. The aim is to maintain or increase the value of the property, ensure tenant satisfaction and reduce the burden on the owner.

Commercial tasks

  • Preparation and billing of ancillary costs

  • Management of rental income and deposits

  • Dunning system for overdue payments

  • Preparation of business plans and annual accounts

  • Communication with tenants, owners and service providers

In short, the property management company ensures that the figures are correct and that all parties maintain an overview at all times.

Technical tasks

  • Organization of repairs, maintenance and servicing

  • Commissioning and monitoring of tradesmen and service providers

  • Regular property inspections to check the condition

  • Energy optimization and modernization proposals

This not only keeps your property looking good, but also maintains its value in the long term.

Legal tasks

  • Compliance with legal requirements (e.g. energy certificate, fire protection, drinking water ordinance)

  • Implementation of rent adjustments in accordance with the legal basis

  • Representation of the community of owners vis-à-vis third parties

  • Preparation and organization of owners' meetings (for WEG management)

Professional management protects owners from legal pitfalls and ensures legally compliant management.
