I'm Looking For a Tenant...

It’s important to appraise the property at the right price for you to ensure that it’s in line with the current market. We do this by evaluating what the tenant would be prepared to pay for your type of property based on the current demand and market conditions – taking into consideration comparable properties both on the market and recently leased. A property priced well will ensure it is leased fast – minimising your vacancy.

In order to act on your behalf we create a managing agency agreement which outlines what we provide as part of our management service to you, as well as the fees payable for those services. Signing the agreement is easy, we can come to you or arrange digital signing.

The first step to ensuring your property is as attractive as possible for the prospective tenants is to arrange professional photos – by investing in professional photos your property will instantly become more appealing to tenants who are then more inclined to click on and enquire on your property – leasing the property faster for a higher rental value. We will provide guidance to you where we feel the property could be improved upon before the photos take place i.e. gardens, touch up paint, minor adjustments to have your property presenting in the best light.

When we launch your property, the online strategy taken is important. We don’t just rely on the standard advertising but understand how tenants search on the portals and therefore how important it is to be at the top of the list and seen first. This is why we highly recommend a Premium Listing option on realestate.com.au which means your property is larger, higher up the page and stays at the top for 30 days if needed. This allows us to capture tenant’s attention first and lease your property faster. We also have relationships with several other major real estate portals for maximum exposure as well as launching the listing in our office window and rental list, and a for lease sign for on street exposure.

The rental market moves very quickly and it is vitally important respond to enquiries quickly and get them through the property as soon as possible. Our online booking system ensures we are able to respond and book tenants in 24/7 from all enquiries. Every week we will conduct a minimum of 2 open homes and also allow for private inspections for anyone who is unable to make those scheduled times – meaning nobody will miss out on the opportunity to inspect – and we maximise the opportunity to find the best quality tenant.

The tenant screening process is vital to ensure that we are placing the highest quality tenant into your investment property. To do this we thoroughly check their identification, rental and employment history and references, as well as cross checking against a major blacklist tenant database to ensure they have not defaulted on a previous tenancy. All applications that pass our initial screening are presented to you for review and final approval. We will work with you to negotiate the best rent and lease term possible with your quality applicant.

A long term tenant is a good tenant for you as it will ensure that future vacancy is minimized, therefore its essential to also ensure that the property is well prepared, presented and checked over prior to the tenant moving in. As well as providing any recommendations to you we will perform a detailed inspection to create a condition report for the property. This as well as the lease paperwork and tenancy sign up will provide your new tenant with a solid grounding to both stay in the property long term but also take care of you property.
