Pay Per Lead Services in Miami-Dade County, FL for Property Management Companies

Start with the empty homes. Of Miami-Dade's 1,094,983 housing units, 119,572 were not occupied at the last count, about 10.9% (Source: censusreporter.org.). The census does not say why. Some are rentals between tenants, some belong to owners who live elsewhere for most of the year, some are waiting on a sale or an estate. For a property manager every one of them is an owner with a door and, very often, nobody local watching it. That is where a good share of the management enquiries in this county begin.

The occupied side tells the rest. Renters hold 465,971 of the county's 975,411 occupied homes, the lowest owner-occupied share among the Florida counties in our research set (Source: censusreporter.org.), and the median build year is 1980.

The calendar runs on rain and storms

At Miami International the summer rainy season has a median start of May 21 and a median end of October 17, and about 69% of the year's rain falls inside it (Source: weather.gov.). An owner who lives in another country or another state spends that stretch reading forecasts. Miami-Dade ranks its evacuation zones A to E by the lowest hurricane category that threatens surge there, and the county calls storm surge "the greatest threat to life and property from a hurricane" (Source: miamidade.gov.). An owner with a condo on Miami Beach or a house in a Zone A neighbourhood wants a manager who will secure the place, account for the tenant and send photos afterwards. If you can promise that, say it on the first call, because it is the first thing these owners ask.

Who is on the other end

• The seasonal owner who used to come down every winter, now comes less, and wants the unit earning when they are away.
• A buyer who just closed on a condo in Doral or a townhouse in Homestead and wants a lease signed before the first association dues are due.
• A Hialeah or Miami Gardens family that inherited a house and wants rent coming in rather than a buyer.
• An association or a small building in Coral Gables or North Miami that has outgrown its current manager.

The broker licence, and an odd gap in the wording

Florida's s. 475.01 defines a broker as someone who, for another and for pay, rents or offers to rent real property or advertises rental listings, so renting property for others generally needs a DBPR broker licence. The statute never actually uses the word "managing" (Source: flsenate.gov.). We do not route Miami-Dade owners to anyone relying on that gap.

Turned away

A renter looking for a one-bedroom, a tenant asking about a repair, an owner asking about a building you do not manage, and owners in Broward or Palm Beach when you only cover Miami-Dade.

The Florida rule for a property management company taking leads in Miami-Dade County: Under s. 475.01 a 'broker' is a person who, for another and for compensation, rents (or offers or negotiates to rent) real property and a person who advertises rental property information or lists, so managing and renting property for others generally requires a Florida real estate broker licence from DBPR; the definition does not use the word 'managing' (Source: flsenate.gov).

Miami-Dade County, for a property management company working these leads: Contractors and tradesmen working in Miami-Dade County are licensed by Miami-Dade County's Contractor Licensing Section, with the Construction Trades Qualifying Board holding authority over the licences and their scopes; the county also offers a voluntary registration so state-certified contractors working in unincorporated Miami-Dade can get permits more easily (Source: miamidade.gov).
