After being referred to oversee property management, we discovered significant discrepancies in the rental appraisal and maintenance of the property, prompting dissatisfaction from the owner. The market rental appraisal revealed an under-rented property by $150 per week, resulting in a loss of over $7,800 in revenue for the owner. Moreover, the property had not seen a rent increase for over two years and had outstanding maintenance issues left unaddressed. Taking swift action, we adjusted the rent to align with market rates and promptly resolved the maintenance issues. Transparent communication was pivotal—we engaged with the tenant, explaining the rent increase and highlighting market comparisons. Encouragingly, the tenant conducted independent research, affirming the market's validity and expressing contentment to remain. Effective communication with all stakeholders proved instrumental in achieving successful property management outcomes. Talk to us about managing your property today.
