The Denver Landlord's Digest Podcast | Essentials of Being a Great Landlord

Jeremy and Brandon continue their “Meet Your Property Manager” series by interviewing Alexis, a senior property manager at KeyRenter Denver with 8 years of experience, to talk about her path into property management and what has kept her in the industry. She explains how the role goes far beyond collecting rent and scheduling repairs, requiring constant problem-solving, relationship building, and balancing the needs of owners, tenants, vendors, budgets, and timelines. Alexis highlights communication as the most important skill in her work—especially during stressful or emotional situations—and shares how empathy and clear updates help build trust. The conversation also touches on professional growth over time, how she avoids burnout during busy seasons, and what she hopes owners feel when they work with her.

In this month’s edition of The Denver Landlord’s Digest, we've been exploring a growing trend: landlords who’ve listed their properties for sale are now returning to the rental market as buyer activity slows and inventory climbs. To complement that conversation, we’re sharing this recent episode of the Denver Real Estate Investing Podcast, where our CEO, Brandon Scholten, joins other industry leaders to break down the key movements in Denver’s market for April. It provides valuable context around the data and what it all means for property owners navigating this transitional moment.

Hosts Brandon and Jeremy are joined by Ben Parham with over a decade of experience in the property management business. Ben shares his insights on creating effective tenant relationships by setting clear expectations- viewing the tenant-landlord relationship as a partnership, practical strategies for laying out clear expectations at the beginning of the tenancy, and how to maintain a positive relationship over time. Both residential homeowners and property managers will find valuable tips on how to improve tenant satisfaction, reduce costly turnovers, and ultimately create a more efficient management process.
