You’re a Problem-Solver, Not a Property Manager

It’s simple: Self-managing landlords want their time back. Trent Bray shows us how he sells it to them.

Real estate investing and property management are, undoubtedly, time-intensive ventures rife with obstacles and difficulties. To Trent Bray, this basic understanding is crucial to helping self-managing landlords solve an ever-common issue: getting their time back.

Trent is six months into his current role at Advanced Solutions Property Management—based in his hometown of Salt Lake City, Utah—and has no shortage of experience in overcoming hurdles and hazards, both usual and unusual, while adapting in his very own, very human way.

And it’s due to this experience that he knows a thing or two about working with self-managing landlords who, despite their protestations, usually don’t know what to expect or even prepare for in the property management game, a knowledge gap that can drown even the most ambitious owners.

Strategic PM sat down with Trent to discuss his love of communication, the importance of relationship building, and what he’s doing to attract investors, open conversations, and give his clients their time back.
