About this product

Product Information

The role of a Property Manager is a varied one. It can be managing holiday homes in various parts of the world that are attractive to tourists, it can be the management and administration of a collection of properties in a development, or it can simply be a person living next door to someone's weekend holiday home. The person fitting the role could be someone operating a business with a high degree of responsibility through to a neighbour holding a key purely in case of emergencies. This guide is aimed at the former and at my role as Property Manager looking after holiday homes in the South of France. If you are thinking of working for yourself and in France then this guide will most definitely be of help even if you are thinking of a different role. If you want to be a Property Manager in a different country then I am confident there will still be information of value although the people, the culture and the consequences of actions are all based around living and working in France and cultural differences will naturally apply. There are tips on handling bureaucrats, how to create a business, the day to day role and how to close a business. Many of the holiday homes were rented out as a source of income and details are provided on how to manage rentals and the associated documentation. I was often contacted about selling one of my client's homes or helping tourists to buy a home so reference is also made to this function. You will find a wide selection of real stories that occurred at the many properties and these are interspersed with practical advice. The Property Manager wears many hats!
