Thank you for your feedback, I wanted to clear up some misconceptions. The reason I'm asking about this service because I want to compare it to the experience of using a regular property manager for the leasing part of renting. With this service I'm using right now, they do include me in the meetings with tenants and I'm able to know everything that's going on with the marketing of my property so it's not like I;m handing everything off and not knowing what's happening.

Is the reason that you would not switch to this sort of service because it doesn't have a brand name or reputation? Or is it simply because leasing is relatively easy and any help is not usually needed for that part of renting?

Cam, I'm afraid you missed the point we all made. It doesn't matter if it was The Wall Street Journal or Amazon.com doing the marketing for you. No one cares more about your rental, and more about the tenants that are chosen, than you do. The type of "help" you usually get is incompetent in comparison to your deep involvement. Most of the issue is the bad reputation that PMs have. This operation is no different because it is not YOU.
