Owning a shore property from a distance makes communication and maintenance oversight important. In this December 2022 interview, Jeff speaks with Jeff Alper of Ikon Management Group about the company's concierge approach at the time.

What the original interview describes

The accompanying article discusses remote updates through an app, including photographs, videos and notes, and coordination of property maintenance. The central idea is having a local point of contact who can report what is happening when the owner is away.

Questions to ask any property manager today

• Which inspections and visits are included, and how are they documented?
• Who handles an urgent problem, and what authority do they have to approve spending?
• Which work is performed by staff and which is sent to outside contractors?
• What fees, insurance, exclusions and cancellation terms apply?
• How are keys, access permissions and owner information protected?
