OBSERVATIONS OF A 30 YEAR VETERAN OF PROPERTY MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
The author creates what he believes is a needed systems extension to property management education utilizing his diverse but associated background prior to his work with property management systems. His observations are very pertinent to California property managers but also applicable to other property managers and owner/operators in other states, especially those that are under state and regional mandates and government review. His experience with multiple systems and hundreds of fee property managers and owner/operators since the 1980’s traces the evolution of property management systems and their most important features. He identifies the importance of due diligence in the evaluation and selection of a system plus the major issues that require serious consideration. He also identifies the necessity of increasing support and in some cases the replacement of traditional operations with newer systems, features and innovations. He introduces observations and recommendations re: the use of current systems in not only the traditional operations such as accounting, but also marketing, maintenance, niche management, the Internet, contracts and records, systems security, risk management, government entities, and systems management. He provides personal experience and a number of “horror stories” at a company level to share with his readers as a means to avoid the disasters that some property managers have barely survived. He has much to share and readers have much to benefit from his observations and recommendations.

From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.
