Should you know everyone on your property management team?

It's a good idea to get to know your property managers and vendors, but it's also important to remember that you're the boss and they're not. You can't control what they do, but you can give them instructions, set boundaries and ensure that the work is done in a timely manner.

If you don't know everyone on your property management team, this could be an issue. It might be that there are people who are not performing their jobs well or that there are people who are doing things outside of their job description. As long as you know what each person's responsibilities are and how they should be performing those responsibilities, then you should have no problem getting your properties up to code within a reasonable amount of time and keeping them that way at all times.

It's a good idea to know everyone on your property management team. You'll be able to make sure that everyone is doing his or her job, reporting any problems and asking for help when needed. It's also important that you don't give anyone power over other staff members, because this could lead to conflict.

If you're not sure about the person's skills or qualifications, ask for references from other clients. Otherwise, it might be better to find someone else who is qualified for the position.

@Holicent if you are talking about small team of 5 persons this could be achievable but a big company of 200 employees this remains impossible. Sometimes there is a lot of people that doesn't even remember names and just know people by their faces and even are concentrated in work and aren't sociable, this is the big majority of employers, few minority like you mention take time to meet employees and know them more during the launch pause or something like that. It is a mentality.
