Presenting your property
The key to better returns.
Our team knows exactly what to look for and will guide you to ensure that both the inside and outside of your property attracts the best possible renter.
Interior
The less the better, simple minimalistic styling makes spaces appear as large as possible and lets renters visualise the potential of the room.
Exterior
A clean, well maintained home and garden is far more attractive to renters as they can see there will be minimal maintenance issues down the track. It also sets a standard that the property is to be kept in such a condition.

Tenancy Selection
Taking the stress out of the process.
Prospective renters must complete a detailed application form and provide additional information such as pay slips, rental references and personal identification. Applicants are advised that incomplete applications will not be processed.
When we are satisfied as to the renter’s suitability we contact you, make a recommendation and receive your decision and instructions in relation to the leasing of your property.
National Tenancy Database
In our continuing endeavour to improve the management of your property, our company makes use of the National Tenancy Database.
The National Tenancy Database is a central computerised logging and enquiry facility for the exclusive use of licensed real estate agents and records a renters prior rental history. It allows agents to establish a ‘recommended renter’ history, while enabling the recording of such factors as damage to the premises, unpaid rents, broken leases or judgments by the Residential Tenancy Tribunal.

Rental Payments
Experience the difference.
Our stringent renter selection process has allowed us to achieve a substantially lower arrears level than many of our competitors. In the rare event that renters are to fall behind in their rent we adopt the following recovery strategy:
1 day late
A text message reminder is sent
3-7 days late
A ‘friendly’ overdue notice is sent reminding the renter of their obligations to pay their rent on time and the Landlord is notified
7-10 days late
Continual telephone, SMS and email follow up with the renter
10 days late
Formal notification is forwarded advising that if the arrears are not paid within four days, a Notice to Vacate will be issued (subject to Landlords approval)
15 days late
Notice to Vacate is issued and application made to the Residentials Tenancies Tribunal seeking a hearing to obtain a Possession Order.

Comprehensive Reporting
Always kept in the loop.
Rental Statements
We understand that you don’t want to wait two, three or four weeks to receive your rent money. For this reason we run owner payments on Tuesdays and Fridays. In most cases your rent will be paid to you on the following day it is received by us! You will receive a detailed statement showing all income and payments for the statement period.
Our accounting department can attend to the payment of all disbursements for our clients. These include mortgage payments, council and water rates, owners corporation, maintenance contributions and levies, insurance etc. It is the responsibility of the property owner to notify all utilities/services that invoices are to be forwarded to our office.
We realise the importance of providing total expenditure details on all investments and an annual statement is provided to all owners on the first working day after the end of each financial year.
Routine Inspections
It is essential that a rented property is inspected regularly to ensure all obligations are being adhered to. Our team conducts a Routine Inspection three months after the tenancy begins and thereafter every six months. Following our inspection you will then receive:
A report and photography on the general condition of the property and how it is being maintained.
Our recommendations on further leasing, rent reviews and maintenance.

Flexible System

Repairs and Maintenance
We have developed a flexible system to cover the requirements of owners who instruct us to attend to all maintenance matters on their behalf and those who prefer to attend to these matters themselves.

Property Insurance
We highly recommend in investing in Landlord Insurance to protect you and your property. Whilst we hope it is never needed, you can have peace of mind knowing you are covered if those ‘unlikely’ scenarios do arise.
