How to Run a Lean Property Management Po...

Kylie Walker
About this episode

In today’s fast-paced property world, doing it all yourself is no longer the smartest strategy. Discover how outsourcing key tasks and embracing the right tech tools can completely transform the way you manage properties, boosting your efficiency, strengthening client relationships, and helping you reclaim your time (and sanity).

If you’re ready to scale without burning out, this is the game-changing shift your business needs.

Kylie opens up about the game-changing shift that allowed her to manage over 300 properties with a small but powerful team, outsourcing. As a mum of four and co-owner of a million-dollar real estate brand, Kylie knows just how overwhelming property management can be. But instead of trying to do it all, she found freedom and growth by strategically delegating tasks and using smart software tools.

Kylie takes us on her journey of letting go of control in key areas like admin, inspections, maintenance, and marketing. With practical advice and honest reflections, she explains how outsourcing transformed her business, freed up her time, improved client service, and, most importantly, helped her find a better work-life balance.

She dives into her top outsourcing strategies and tools, like hiring virtual assistants for admin and lead generation, partnering with local inspection services, and using platforms like Tappy to streamline maintenance. And she shares how giving up control of her social media led to greater brand visibility without the daily grind.

If you’re a property manager feeling burnt out and stretched thin, this episode is for you. Kylie’s insights will inspire you to rethink your approach and show you how to work smarter, not harder. Tune in, and take the first step towards a more efficient, scalable, and stress-free business!

And if you love what you hear, be sure to leave a review, share with your fellow property managers, and follow for more real, actionable tips to grow your business with less burnout.

“I quickly realised I didn't need to do it all myself. My team took care of maintaining a consistent, professional, and engaging presence online, while I could focus on what I did best, managing properties and growing my business. And you know what? It really did work.”
