Property Management University

🐾 **A Property Management University Shout-Out to PetScreening!**

Stacey McKay, Broker of Rental Home Management Services, Inc., has been a strong advocate for the pet screening process and highly recommends it to brokers and property managers.

When Stacey purchased and took over the management company she had worked for—and helped grow as Business Development Manager for 13 years—one of the first operational changes she made was adding a formal pet screening process.

Five years later, she still considers it one of the best and easiest changes she made.

PetScreening has helped Rental Home Management Services streamline the onboarding of new residents, maintain accurate pet records for existing residents, and create a more consistent process for addressing pets in rental properties.

And from Stacey's perspective as a Business Development Manager who spent decades bringing new business into property management, pet screening became an especially valuable tool when working with property owners who were hesitant or fearful about allowing pets in their investment properties.

Having a consistent screening process helps turn a sometimes difficult conversation into a documented, professional process.

PetScreening has also been an active part of the property management community, connecting and networking with brokers and property managers here in Florida and across the nation.

So, when PetScreening shared their post about being part of the **first-ever NARPM cruise**, Property Management University wanted to give them a little shout-out of our own! 🚢🐶

Sometimes the simplest operational changes can make a surprisingly big difference.

**Five years later, Stacey still says: adding PetScreening was one of those changes.**

Orlando Property Managers, LOCK IN:
Wednesday, July 15th at Maggiano's Little Italy (Pointe Orlando) 🗓️

Ever wonder what it feels like to just sit down with a group of people who actually get it?

No boring speeches and looooong slide decks. Just casual shop talk over dinner, talking about what’s truly working in the industry right now.

If you're past chatting through screens and want a room full of genuine connections and real insights, this is where you need to be.

Dinner is completely on us, and here’s what you're getting:

- Stacey McKay giving our room an early look at what’s on the horizon, right before her official installation as the 2027 Florida State NARPM President this September.
- Pablo Gonzalez from Vendoroo leading a live, open discussion on the intersection of AI, operations, and how the coordinator role is completely evolving in 2026.
- PMs and operators swapping notes and trading authentic stories in a casual space with peers who face the exact same daily puzzles you do.

Spaces are strictly limited. Once the final kitchen headcount is locked, the door closes.
