Good question Dave.
On a very simplistic level it comes down to a few points, Communication, follow up, attention to detail.
In the larger picture, we look at your property not just as a rental investment, but where it sits in your wealth creation cycle. We meet (or talk) with our property owners once a year (in addition to the routine inspections, leasing etc) and talk to them about their property, changes and trends in the suburb, changes to legislation etc.
We discuss future repairs and map out short, medium and long term repairs, we have a look at cost benefit analysis of the repairs/upgrades.
We make sure that you are aware of depreciation, insurance, land tax etc. We have end of financial check lists to help your accountant.
Our advertising copy and photos are good. There are strategies in place for slow markets. Timing of leases is very important. The list goes on?
Let me revert to the original 3 points, communication and follow up are the most important, not just with property owners but with tenants and tradesman. At every stage of communication each party knows exactly what is happening, when its happening and what will happen next. This is the same if it is a repair, a lease renewal, routine inspection or a simple phone enquiry.
What you are getting with our office is the confidence of solid reliability, combined with experience and lastly common sense.
Here is what use to charge:
Sign board $150
Internet $0
Letting fee 1 weeks plus gst
Lease renewal: 1/2 weeks rent plus gst (but rarely charged it as I personally didn't agree with it)
Commission 7.7% plus gst
Statement/stationary fee: $0 as I sent statements out via email only.
Why would you charge signboard fee of $150 when you can reuse the same signboard for years for multiple properties?
If you don't agree with lease renewal fee, the. Why have it in the first place?
