Owning a successful investment property

By Kirsten Friedli

The “corner stone” of a successful investment property is having the best people managing your valuable investment.

Property management is a highly important service that is often undervalued. Having the best property management team looking after your investment property can mean the difference between a smooth or rocky investment, and profitable or unprofitable one!

At Harcourts, our property management team works extremely hard to deliver the very best service to our investment clients. We are consistently awarded in the top three in NSW within the Harcourts Real Estate group, testament of our superior property management service.

Here’s a little insight into the first-class service we provide:

  • When first advertising your vacant property, we work swiftly to advertise the property to as many potential tenants as possible. This results in maximum applications in the shortest possible time. Our methods ensure you get a tenant into your property and paying you rent sooner.
  • If we are managing your property, we know when your tenants are vacating. We then advertise in advance of them moving out to lessen the vacancy time between tenants – again maximising your rental income.
  • Once tenant applications are received, our property management team uses highly developed systems and their years of practical experience to diligently scrutinise applying tenants. We then assist our landlords make the final selection. This is a highly important part of the process, as the “big picture” of finding a quality tenant is: less maintenance expenses, little or no rental arrears, and over time maximum capital growth on your property.
  • Our first-class service and systems ensure rent is paid on time, expenses and bills are tracked and paid, and there are regular inspections conducted on your property to ensure it is kept in the same condition as when the tenants moved in.

Our property management team is leading the way in delivering a premium property management service. Eight dedicated Property Managers and several support staff work hard to ensure that all details are attended to.

Investing in a quality Property Management agency makes a lot of sense. A well-managed investment property will provide maximum income, no hassles, and the best long-term outcome.
