What to look for in the right agent

When selecting the right agent, it is important you consider these important factors:

  • The agent will accurately appraise your rental property to quickly rent it to quality tenants keeping your vacancy period to a minimum.
  • Understands the importance of presentation to attract the right tenant, who in turn will pay the rent on time and respect the property.
  • Knows the importance of in-depth tenant induction, ensuring they are well educated on expectations ensuring a much better chance of tenancy success.
  • Believes the rent must be paid on time every time and educates the tenant accordingly.
  • Promptly attends to repairs and maintenance as they are observed or reported by the tenant.
  • Quickly negotiates a new lease renewal term and keeps the rent maximised at lease renewal time, in liaison with the property owner.
  • Ensures the property is kept well maintained at a high level of cleanliness at property #inspections# and quickly follows up with the tenant anything found to be unsatisfactory.
  • Makes sure the property is vacated satisfactorily to a high standard of cleanliness, allowing for reasonable fair wear and tear, comparing the property to a comprehensive written ingoing #inspection# report and a variety of digital photos taken at the tenancy start.
