- Is your current property manager a property investor?
- How long have they been doing Property Management for?
- Do they have a plan for regular maintenance for the property?
- Do they know much about the tax advantages such as building depreciation?
- Do they understand body corporate and how they work?
- Can they tell you the last sale of a property similar to yours?
- Can they tell you the rental of similar properties and the vacancy rates in the area?
- If you want to speak to them outside business hours can you call them?
- Do they show properties after hours?
- Do they answer the phone after hours for potential tenants?
One of the biggest complaints that prospective tenants have is the ability to see the property. Most other agencies do not show after hours – and this can be an issue in renting the property quickly.
To put this to the test, try and call your current manager after hours. We can assure you that if you call us on the mobile it will be answered, and if not, we will return your call as soon as we get the message. Tenants like this and we have many that have been with us for years.
In fact, when they outgrow the current property, they ask that we find them another so that they can stay with us.
Our Fees – Flat Fee on Rents Collected
We charge a flat fee of 13.2% inclusive of GST of all rent collected. This may sound higher than what you are currently paying, but when you add in all the extra fees you may find that this is closer to 15%. The one week’s let fee is equivalent to 8 weeks of our management fee.
