$99 is cheaper than your insurance excess I bet... For $99 your package should include smoke alarm check and test AND a safety switch check and test. I am hearing reports Some insurance companies "love" this independent check, as if incorrectly "complianced check" it falls back onto the...

What exactly is in the lease? Tenants to maintain pool? Pool maintenance included? If the latter what is the specific wording? As this one catches quite a few PM's and LL's out. If it is generic "pool maintenance" included and nothing else cop it and amend at renewal. If you have a proper...

"Kick backs" have to be listed on the 20a/Form 6. Full disclosure these days. I'm leaning towards a lazy PM not having the preferred trades details on file.

Half true and has nothing to do with recent changes. They need to send your preferred trades person an appointment of new creditor form and your trades person will have to supply any licensing details, all insurance details, bank details and so forth. Given you stated on what would have...

We have had great success with running longer duration than the "standard" 10 minute opens too. Tenants appreciate being able to view two similar properties at similar times. 20-25min OFI's seem to work well, allowing someone to look at the first one at "5:30pm - 5:40pm" and for example still...

On what grounds? Ask to be given a tenant brief to make your own judgement. The only time we will never send a tenant brief is if the applicants do not work, cannot show anyway of paying rent/TICA issue. As apart of the reporting to the LL, they will be advised something has come in...

Following on from old mate's point 2) above - Be mindful of how the REA.com.au search price bands work and how tenants are refining their searches - It works in $50pw search ranges. $250 - $300pw, $300pw - $350pw, $350pw - $400pw Your demographic/target market is possibly only searching...

I would say most if not all PM's are salary based and would have set hours as apart of that package. Agents; Sales, leasing agents and business development managers on mostly or only commission I would say have flexibility in this area. A lot of "agents", myself included only need a mobile...

That might be 10% of the reason. The other 90% is because agents seem to believe a hidden address: a) makes it harder for other agents to "sign jump" (contact you to get the listing) b) It will encourage tenants to make a phone call or send an email b) being not true, no address results in...

The last time I finished at 5pm was in 2003, which also happened to be the first day I started. The day to day "admin" side of things chews up a heap of time. Most cold leads you find/generate/pull from RpData won't be home during the day unless you can find mobile numbers anyway.

I think you'll find the only "discount" will be the let fee and marketing fee waived as you have secured the tenant. The day to day (the management fee portion) wouldn't change.

The minimum amount is Queensland you can charge is 5% + GST. But you get what you pay for. What is or isn't included in your 4.4%? What is or isn't included in your 8% quotes? There actually isn't an awful lot in it for agency even at 8%. ever worked out the running costs for an office...

I know this is directed at someone else, however.. Professional photos and their ownership is an interesting topic. Technically ownership is retained by the photographer in terms of "commercial use". Maybe my photographer just tells me that. Typically if I pay for them I will still send...

It's by no means hard at all. You need to see it from an agency point of view however; If I'm having my staff members process and screen applications on a sure thing (the current management solely with the office) or an application on a listing with a 50/50 or less chance I'm having my staff I'm...

Why would an agent want to process the paper work for chump change? I'm sure there are people out there who MAY. But geez, what do they value their time at.

Average size office with ample staffing - 24-48hrs assuming the tenant has supplied all information and their current property manager returns rental references in a speedy manner. It's not hard to use a scanner/fax machine/picking up a phone...

Trialed this - Lots more enquiries with "feature" listings over standard REA listings. Obviously if your in a suburb where there aren't a heap of new listings that keep pushing listings down, probably not needed.

I know this system well - The PM SHOULD still list the times on REA however. The booking system is great, saves so much time but no reason why they shouldn't display the times that have been "booked" via the system to the public.. Why not? They will be already there! Issue termination if they...

Are you surprised given who listed it?
