Property management can mean the difference between a successful & profitable investment, & one that is plagued by problems & financial losses
Property management is a crucial aspect of owning and operating rental properties. Whether you’re a landlord with a single rental unit or a property owner with a large portfolio of properties, effective property management can mean the difference between a successful and profitable investment, and one that is plagued by problems and financial losses. There are a few different kinds of rental properties, but all can benefit from quality property management. Here are a few examples of the different rental types.
Long-Term
When it comes to long-term rental properties, tenants are probably going to stay for longer than a year. A property manager will most likely be needed in a similar capacity to that of a medium-term rental in terms of ensuring the comfort of the tenant for the long term, while taking the strain and stress of running everything off of the landlord or owner’s shoulders. Again, we’ll be the go-to for anything you as the landlord/owner may require.
Medium-Term
These properties are usually rented out for time periods ranging from 3 months to 1 year. A property manager’s focus for these kinds of rentals is shifted a bit more to the comfort of the tenant and making sure everything is in working order at all times. This allows you as the landlord or owner to sit back stress-free while we take care of everything on your behalf. When we’re managing your property, we act as a go-to for the tenant, so you don’t have to.
Short-Term
Short-term rentals are rented out on a short-term basis, typically for a period of a few days to a few weeks. Platforms like Airbnb and Booking.com have become hubs where anybody can find a short-term rental option online from anywhere around the world.
What Does a Property Management Company Do?
Managing a property and ensuring that tenants are well taken care of can be quite a task if you’re not always available and have a lot of free time. The reality is that you probably don’t have a lot of time to deal with your tenants on a regular basis. This is where we come in. We take all the stress of property management off your plate and make sure everything runs smoothly, from start to finish. Imagine a world where you, as the property owner, did nothing but rake in the profits of your well-kept property. That’s the kind of world we want to create for you.
Here’s a quick run-through of the services we provide:
- Marketing & Property Listings
Every property under our management will get a personal listing created to attract your ideal tenant in the most effective way. We constantly aim to highlight and showcase the best-selling points of your property in these listings so you can be assured of the quality of the people renting it. We work hard and employ the best use of technology and search engine optimization to ensure your property is seen by the right people, on the right channel. - Property Maintenance
We’re committed to the ongoing upkeep, repair, and management of your property. This includes regular cleaning and housekeeping, landscaping, painting, plumbing and electrical maintenance (among other things) to ensure your property is safe, secure, comfortable and functioning correctly for your tenants. Should any issues arise with the property, our in-house maintenance team will be on-hand to assist your tenant with whatever they may need. No need to go looking for a handyman or plumber, just give us a call and rest assured knowing the job will be done correctly.
- Photography
People looking for a property to rent spend a maximum of five seconds considering a listing based purely on its photos. For this reason, we make sure that the photos we take of your property capture their attention and urge them to consider your property. Don’t underestimate the importance of first impressions, especially when it comes to long-term rentals! - Tenant Management
Remember, we manage everything from start to finish, meaning that we make sure your tenants are the right fit for your property before they set foot in it. We take potential tenants through a rigorous credit and affordability check before anything is agreed upon, and we make it a point to request references from said tenant so we can double-check that they fit the bill for you as the owner. Once a tenant is approved, we continue to manage our relationship with them (meaning you don’t need to) by liaising with them as they get settled in, as well as making ourselves available to them at all times should they have any problems or concerns, as we’ve mentioned above. This is all covered by us so you don’t need to worry about it.
