As a property investor, you want to know that your property or properties are being managed by the right people. A team that can offer the right skills, knowledge and ethics that is required to do the job properly. That’s what we offer at Platinum, our team are all experienced, highly skilled property managers and have a long term history with our company. Our own Licensee is acting head of the department and carries on an active role in the property management department.

We have outlined a few key points for you to consider when choosing a managing agency for your investment property/properties.

  1. Research: An important step toward the successful management of your Investment property is research - research of the company that you are considering engaging, the property managers and the properties available for rent in your area. You can gather a lot of useful information through the internet.
  2. Appraisal: Here you have the opportunity to come together with your perspective agent without any obligation. This will assist in selecting the right property manager and determining the rental value of your property. At Platinum our property appraisals are no obligation and at no cost.
  3. Selecting a property manager: Select a property manager that you are comfortable with and whom you can be confident in. A guide to a good property manager is to establish their level of experience, knowledge and level of involvement in managing your property. At Platinum the property manager that you choose will be the person looking after your property, who will keep you informed and will conduct all day-to-day affairs of your property.
  4. Property Presentation & Statutory Requirement: Your property manager will advise you of the best way to present your property to maximise its potential to prospective tenants. You will be guided in relation to statutory requirement as a Landlord with regards to RCD’s, hardwired smoke alarms and insurance policies.
  5. Marketing & Communication: It’s important to attract the right tenant to your property and to achieve that you need a good marketing plan with prominent online presence. A pro-active property manager with good company backing is the key to securing the right tenant for your property at the earliest possible date, with minimal vacancy period. At Platinum, we aim to secure the best tenant paying the highest rent in the shortest amount of time.
  6. Tenant Selection & Application Process: Your agent will inform you when your property is scheduled for viewing by prospective tenants. You will then be notified when an application is received on your property. The property manager will process this application on your behalf, checking employment, rental references including previous tenancies (if any), and discuss with you in detail.
