Expert Tenant Selection
We love managing property for you and our daily tasks include selecting the best tenants we can find for your property.
There is no better feeling for us than finding the right fit for tenant and property. However no one knows your investment property better than you... Learning more about your property is an important part of our appraisal process to you because an in-depth knowledge can allow us to effectively communicate with potential tenants to increase the interest in your property. Our goal for you is to provide low days on market and low days vacant thus making more money for you.
Market knowledge
On the one hand you will have our on-the-ground Property Managers with their extensive local knowledge. On the other you have our research analysts, whose job it is to understand the market inside out – where it’s coming from, where it’s moving to and most importantly, where your property sits in the todays or the future market. We can help you understand rental price structures, the role of rate fluctuations in the market and the potential tax depreciation on your investment property.
Property marketing
We will craft a campaign that resonates more effectively with your preferred tenants. The marketing tools that we can tap into include:
- Rental proposition development to get the best tenants for you
- Professional style photography and copywriting.
- Electronic tenant booking service allows prospective tenants to select a convenient inspection time and for us to allocate resources to cope with larger volumes of attendees or not.
- Online listings on the major real estate portals like Domain.com.au, Realestate.com.au, PRDSouthport.com.au, Rent.com.au, Squiiz, Onthehouse, Homely to name a few.
- Targeted direct marketing to prospective tenants who have enquired before and maybe missed out
- Social media with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn providing you with more reach and penetration.
Selecting a tenant
PRD property managers are confident in connecting the right tenant with your property. Meticulous preparation of tailored marketing campaigns, advice on presenting your property and open communication lines keep landlords informed during the rental process. Being part of a franchise network ensures that PRD’s property management teams have the unwavering support of an efficient and well-resourced brand that is committed to ensuring landlords receive the best service available.
Applicants are fully screened with references checked including work references, previous tenancy, personal references, identity checks. Once this has been completed you are contacted and given details of the applicants available. You confirm final approval based on information supplied if you wish
Regular inspections
Your property will be handled by our PRD Southport office that has local knowledge and skilled professionals on staff who are eager to assist you with all management services. At the beginning of each tenancy a Property or Entry Condition Report is completed to ensure a thorough record of the details of your property is on file. The tenant is given the opportunity to make comments on the report. This is followed up by inspections every 2 - 4 months or minimum 3 inspections per year and our report forwarded to you on each occasion. These inspections help to mitigate any future risk by providing the tenant with the opportunity to report maintenance that may require attention. It also allows the property manager to check on the condition in which the property is being maintained and keep the owner informed.
If you feel unsure about the management services we provide at any time, you are encouraged to ask questions so you can be confident that you are dealing with a property manager who has the expertise and experience to manage your property the smarter way.
