Keeping you updated

We provide ongoing communication and regular updates on your property and about the market. We contact residential rental providers at least twice a week during the leasing and re-leasing period and ensure our property managers are available to you. We also make regular maintenance recommendations and issue newsletters to keep you informed.
Protecting your precious assets

Renter selection is carried out in close consultation with you. We ensure your assets are protected by providing reliable professional advice for valuations, pre-purchase investments and property maintenance. We also conduct regular property inspections and reports.
Giving you helpful advice

Our staff are highly experienced and trained to provide you with the best level of service. They participate in ongoing improvement programs in-house and at company level, for example, through the Real Estate Institute of Victoria. Our property managers have small and manageable portfolios to ensure you receive superior customer service. We also have excellent support via our network and industry affiliates.

Maximising rentals and minimising vacancy

We ensure high rent returns are achieved via close market analysis. We adhere to the following key principles:

Where demand is strong we seek higher rents
We meet low demand with attractive rent to maintain an income stream
Low vacancy is the most important factor in maximising your income
Our vacancy rates are well below industry averages
Our leasing and re-leasing protocols and procedures create low or nil vacancy

Finding the best renters

Our dynamic marketing ensures prominence in the marketplace to help you find the best tenant for your property. Our integrated marketing activities include:

Dominance of the local area in sales and rentals
Colourful window brochures
A Melbourne and Victorian network with inter-office referrals
Informative rent lists, inspection times and easy access arrangements
A link between our website and all of the largest real estate websites in Victoria
Exclusive ‘Priority Alert’ system which instantly notifies hundreds of potential renters

Making technology work for you

Our company encourages people to use technology. We have programmed internal procedures, self-regulating systems and ongoing training that ensures reliable consistent service. We encourage the use of technology in the following ways:

Emailing residential rental provider statements, newsletters, renter arrears, formal notices and investment properties
Direct debit/credit card facilities for payments
Use of Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) that create consistent records that can be cross-checked, tracked and emailed for condition and property reports.

In summary

We view rental properties as a valuable asset. You can be confident that your property is being cared for by both agent and renter.
We take great care at all levels to ensure the highest net rental is achieved and that your property is in safe, professional hands.
