C&G’s Guide to Choosing a Property Manager

You’ve worked hard to secure your investment property. Naturally, you want your asset in expert hands to maximise returns and minimise stress. A professional property manager can help alleviate these concerns and navigate the leasing market on your behalf. This latest C&G blog contains plenty of tips for choosing the right property manager! 

Local is best.

A property manager who services your local area will have a sound understanding of the suburb’s demographics and market trends. They can determine a competitive market rent that efficiently secures tenants and minimises unnecessary vacancy periods.

Take your time and research.

Do your due diligence and conduct extensive research. Google reviews and testimonials will help you determine which agents are reliable and sought-after for their services. They should also be transparent with their experience, credentials and property portfolio.

Do their goals match yours?

It goes without saying not all landlords are the same, and not all estate agencies will offer the same service either. Large franchise agencies may have more resources at their disposal, while smaller boutiques may dedicate more time to focus on your individual needs. Look at all websites and social media channels carefully to ensure their best practice approach matches your long-term goals.

Ask questions.

You can ask questions at any stage of your search for a property manager. Many property managers offer no-obligation appraisals and are generally happy to answer queries from prospective clients. Whether you’re after someone who communicates efficiently or someone who knows your owners corporation like the back of their hand, you’ll get a sense of their character by initiating a conversation.
