Home Owners in Auckland keep hiring us! Here's why...

A friendly property manager is one who provides good customer service and is helpful in resolving issues. Property managers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of a property, including screening tenants, arranging maintenance, and addressing late rent.

But we do so much more...!

1. Setting the right rental rates

While looking through the classifieds to see what other landlords are charging for similar properties is a fine way to ballpark your rent price, a good property management company will conduct a thorough market study in order to set a rental price for your property, ensuring that you achieve the perfect balance between maximising monthly income and maintaining a low vacancy rate.

2. Collecting and depositing weekly rent payments on time

If you've ever worked in a billing department, you know that securing payment from clients can be difficult, not to mention awkward. As property management company we have efficient, tried-and-true systems in place to effectively collect rent and maintain on-time payments. You'll find this particularly important if you have a limited number of properties, and collecting payments on time is crucial to maintaining your cash flow.

3. Marketing and advertising your property

Through long experience, a property manager will know exactly where to market your property and how to craft compelling advertising materials - significant advantage when it comes to filling your properties quickly and avoiding long vacancies. We know how to do this well - and how to save you money doing it!

4. Finding the right tenants, Finding the right tenants

Experienced property managers like us are experts at finding and screening tenants, and will take care of all the details, including securing all criminal background and security checks, running credit reports, verifying employment, and collecting previous landlord references on your potential tenants.

5. Managing tenants

In addition to finding good tenants, a property management company will manage all aspects of the tenant-landlord relationship. The property manager will handle both routine and emergency maintenance, take care of routine property inspections, and manage any situations where conflict resolution is required.

6. Managing vendor relationships

Property management companies have relationships with maintenance workers, tradesmen, contractors, suppliers, and vendors that it's almost impossible for an independent landlord to duplicate. Not only will your property manager get you the best work for the best price, they'll oversee any necessary maintenance requests and projects.

7. Keeping you in compliance with housing regulations and property laws

There are a multitude of applicable laws and regulations to abide by when renting and maintaining your rental property. These include keeping up with changes to the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A property manager can help you avoid lawsuits by keeping your property up-to-date and in compliance with these regulations.

8. Enabling you to invest in geographically distant properties

If you manage your own properties, you're pretty much limited to investment opportunities within a tight radius of your own home. By hiring a property manager, you can take advantage of investment deals in any location you wish. Many of our landlords live overseas.

9. Maximising the profitability of your time

By having a property manager take care of the day-to-day aspects of running your income property, you're free to spend your time identifying further investment opportunities or otherwise furthering your career.

10. Maximising the profitability of your money

Most property managers charge a percentage of your property's weekly rental rate in exchange for their services. The rate typically runs anywhere from 6-10 percent, which is generally less than the money you save by hiring a professional to take care of your property.
