Owner lead follow-up: the 21-day sequence
What to do in the first 5 minutes, first day and first three weeks after a property owner asks about management.
An owner lead can mean years of management fees, so treat it as the most important thing that comes in. An owner who does not hear back can call the next company on the list, so the goal is a real conversation quickly and a follow-up plan that does not depend on anyone remembering it. No public study measures how many managers a rental owner contacts, so set your standard from your own close rate by response time.
