Hi, I am trying to decide whether to rent out the new IP through one of the local agencies or to give it to the property manager I already used in the past?
The agency is about 3 suburbs away from the area - not that far away but still definetely not local, so majority of their other listings would be in another area. I am sure that would not be a problem once the property is tenanated, but I am worried whether they would be the best option in finding a tenant, if most people coming to them would not be looking for a property in my suburb?
I had been happy with their services in the past, any issues were resolved quickly. They do not manange any other properties for me right now.
Do you think having a local agent with their database of potential tenants is important to rent the property quickly, given the other factors are about the same?
