Your Local Property Manager for Armadale is Mahi Masud
Congratulations! you are the proud owner of a rental property in Armadale. But just as with your own home, a rental home needs a lot of tender loving care. Who is going to look after it when you are away? And, perhaps, how is it going to pay its own way? Thoughts like these tend to push investment homeowners into thinking about appointing a property management company. So, what should you be looking for in a property manager, and how do you go about finding one with the qualities you want?
First and foremost, you have to decide if you just want the property taken care of, or if you also want it rented out. This will determine what kind of property management firm you want and whether you need to check their credentials for marketing your property, or just for looking after it. Assuming that you would like your investment property to generate some positive cash flow for you, you need to look for several key capabilities.
A firm which will ensure the highest standards of care and finding the right tenants who will look after the property. Lots of rental income will not make up for the damage caused by careless renters. Make sure that your chosen firm will keep on top of every time a tenant move-in or move-out. Many firms take advantage of the owner’s inexperience and allow renters to leave the property in a messy condition. This means that they never know who is in your property and whether your four-bedroom home which is supposed to have a maximum of 8 guests actually has 16 grad party celebrants all over the floors.
The highest standards of cleaning. Cleaning a property thoroughly is time-consuming and expensive. Many property management firms cut corners here, and if they do, you will eventually pay the price in worn-out carpets and other forms of dilapidation.
Superior marketing capabilities. Marketing rental properties have become a sophisticated business these days. Make sure that the primary website on which your property will appear is ranked highly against other property for your location.
A local firm without much experience in search engine optimization and local market knowledge may be able to take good care of your property but they won’t generate a lot of inquiries since no-one will know that they exist.
Look for a manager who knows how to offer excellent service to tenants. Always proactive on tenants needs, as good tenants will take good care of the property, they are in.
You should expect VIP treatment when you are using our own property management team, but also VIP service when you call up our property manager to inquire about your investment property, free to discuss renovation and maintenance issues, query your rental income statements or any other matter. We will make sure you will always get to speak to someone senior who knows you and your property.
