Rental management companies

[bobobb.livejournal.com]

I am going to be moving away for two years and would like to rent out my condo while I am gone. I'd rather go through a local management company, as I think it would be easier than trying to finagle repairs from far away. But, as a former renter I am aware that there are some *horrible* management companies out there, and I *do not* want to become an absentee slum lord. So I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations or warnings about management companies they have worked with before (either as a landlord or as a renter).

Thanks!

I had a pretty awful experience with ActionVest, they were definitely not "Extra Milers" and overcharged the crap out of us. The rude, unprofessional and disorganized property manager lady we had as their representative to us was a key factor in our decision to sublet and move out a few months into our lease.
