Leasing your home in the White Mountains? Why Communication is Your Best Asset

Choosing a property manager in Show Low requires more than just local knowledge—it requires a partner who keeps the "loop" closed. Learn why communication is the #1 trait to look for when interviewing your next property manager.

And this is important for buying and selling a home as well!  Whether you are looking for a cool summer retreat or selling your long-time family cabin, the White Mountains market has its own rhythm. But there is one universal truth: A transaction is only as stress-free as the communication behind it.

When you interview an agent to represent you or your property for rent in Show Low, ask these three questions:

1. "How often will I hear from you if there is no news?" (In a slower mountain pace, silence can be nerve-wracking. You need an agent who checks in regardless.)
2. "How do you handle out-of-town clients?" (Many of my clients are in the Valley; they need to know I’m their eyes and ears on the ground.)
3. "What is your process for closing the loop?"
