Finding the right property manager for a casual letting
Casual letting services are a fantastic way for property owners who prefer to manage the day to day management of their properties yet get the support they need during the screening, viewing, and bond lodgement and set up phase of the tenancy.
The setting up of the rental tenancy can be complicated and engaging a professional property manager to support you through the process and manage the legal side of your tenancy arrangement provides peace of mind for property investors.
The process of casual letting focuses on credit and reference checks as well as the screening of potential tenants to ensure property owners find the perfect tenant for the property.
Professional property managers will include the following in their casual letting service:
– Rental appraisal of the property
– Detailed condition reports with digital photos ahead of tenants entering your property (if requested)
– Marketing and advertising support to promote the listing (including a ‘For Rent’ sign where appropriate)
– Answer enquiries from prospective tenants
– Show the property to prospective tenants
– Accept tenancy applications
– Do full reference checks for applicants
– Undertake a credit check for the prospective tenant
– Collect and lodge bond to RTA
– Sign the tenancy agreement on your behalf
Investors looking for the perfect property manager or casual letting agent should consider the following ahead of selecting their property manager:
- Where possible, visit the office of the property manager and meet the staff, so you get a better understanding of whom you will be working with if you sign up for their service
- Ensure the property manager is an expert with listings in the same area of region as your property
- Ask for a few examples of similar properties the property manager has in the local area
- Read testimonials for the letting agent and get a feel for their service
- Ask the letting agent if they show the property to prospective tenants after hours or on weekends
