So what are the benefits for you, the landlord?

Safe Tenant Selection. Potential tenants complete a written application form that enables us to carry out thorough checks, including reference verification and credit check, thus reducing the risk to you. We only offer properties to verified applicant after they have been successfully interviewed.

While vacancies are inevitable, we have a strong incentive to find and retain tenants for your property. it is our job to find the right tenant for you, and this is possible through our focus on building strong relationships with all potential tenants.

To further this, we server as an emergency contact for both landlords and tenants alike, and are available seven days a week, whether via internet and phone or in person.

Regular inspections are an important means of keeping in touch with the tenants, and an eye on your investment! The cost of this is included in our management fee, unlike most other companies in Rotorua. This keeps costs down and inspection frequency up, meaning your property is safer.

We also attend mediation should any disputes arise. Our experience with property management law means we’re able to advise on solutions to any difficulties, as well as maintaining goodwill, which enables us to keep the tenant as a long-term asset If required.

Structured Rent Collection.We use online banking to carry out daily checks for payments. Should non-payment occur, we find out why and create solutions for preventing this in the future. In our experience, early diagnosis of a problem with non-payment allows for constructive decisions to be made, and assists in defusing possible confrontations.

We pay our landlords twice a month, and send all-inclusive monthly statements covering every cost incurred and income received.

Protection for Your Investment. We are not part of a Real Estate Sales Office. We are not a branch of an out of town franchise. We are solely focused on managing rental properties in the Rotorua community, and this focus makes us unique in the district.

As licensed real estate agents of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand, we are audited several times a year, our Trust account I insured, and REINZ provides the public with a complaints and penalty regime. We are proud to offer you the protection of this system.

Our fee for residential landlords is 9% plus GST, and as well as covering all the general management duties, this also includes our time and attendance at Tenancy Tribunal hearings, mediation meetings and evictions.
