Answering Your Frequently Asked Questions

How do you find and screen tenants?

We use a thorough screening process that makes all the difference for property owners. This includes reference checks, rental history, employment and income verification, and industry-leading screening tools. Our goal is to secure reliable tenants who will treat your property with care and meet their obligations.

How long will it take to lease my property?

Leasing time can vary depending on market conditions, location, rental rates, and the presentation of your property. Whether you own apartments or houses, various aspects affect timing. On average, well-presented and appropriately priced properties lease within 2–4 weeks. We’ll provide honest guidance on timing and keep you informed throughout the process.

What is included in your leasing service?

Our comprehensive property management process covers everything needed to secure the right tenant, handling the day to day tasks and repetitive tasks that can be time-consuming. This includes marketing the property, conducting open homes and private inspections, thorough tenant screening, preparing lease agreements, and managing the handover process. We handle all these details so you don’t have to.

Do I need to be involved in day-to-day management?

Not at all. We take a hands on approach to managing your investment, taking care of the day-to-day on your behalf while keeping our clients informed through regular updates and reports. As a landlord, you’ll be consulted on key decisions, but our goal is to give you peace of mind and help protect your wealth for the future.

Can you help with multiple properties?

Yes. Whether you have one property or a growing portfolio of residential and commercial properties, we can manage them all under a single, streamlined approach. Our team has experience in both residential property management and commercial property management, providing strategic oversight across your entire investment portfolio to help you maximise long-term value and build wealth for the future.

Do I need to be involved in day-to-day management?

Not at all. We take care of the day-to-day on your behalf, keeping you informed through regular updates and reports. Of course, you’ll be consulted on key decisions – but our goal is to give you peace of mind and free up your time.

What makes a good residential property manager different from regular real estate agents?

A residential property manager brings hands on expertise to the ongoing aspects of property ownership rather than just one-time sales. The specialised focus on managing properties, maintaining tenant relationships, and protecting your assets will greatly benefit your long-term wealth building and future financial security.
