Level With Us: What Does ‘Next Level Management’ Actually Mean?

When we launched Levels Property Management, we chose Next Level Management as the phrase that would sit alongside our name. It sounded right. It summed up the ambition we had for the business and the kind of managing agent we wanted to build. But phrases like that have to mean something. It is very easy to say you offer a different level of service. It is much harder to demonstrate what that looks like when you are preparing a service charge budget, taking over a development from another agent, dealing with a major building defect, advising directors on a difficult decision or telling a client something they would probably rather not hear. That is where “Next Level Management” actually begins.

Authentic Leadership

This is a controversial one, especially as a Director of a block management company who has been on both sides of the fence; this is a very raw, but real issue that lurks within our industry.  Block management has a reputation problem. High turnover, burned-out staff, inconsistent service. The industry explanation is usually the same: difficult residents, demanding directors, too much regulation. But there’s a truth that rarely gets said out loud… Sometimes the biggest problem in block management is the director at the top.
