Hi all
My realestate agent wanted $900 to find me a tenant for my property in Melbourne + $100 for internet advertising. This does not include property management which I always do myself.
In my view it is not worth $900 to pay an agent to find a tenant in a market where there are lots of tenants. They will open the property for 15 minutes, do some background checks, an inspection report, and whammo I am charged $900...
Anyway, I found a way to advertise myself on Realestate.com.au as a landlord without paying exorbidant agent fees.
This agent below charged me $125 and listed the ad on my behalf for as long as I like on realestate.com.au! Plus they do a tenancy database search in that price!
Yipeee....
I hope this helps other people out there looking for tenants but don't want to get ripped off.
