Choosing a property manager? Don’t guess, investigate. Here are the 7 checks you should do before hiring an Property Advisor to protect your investment.
Interview multiple agents, compare answers, points of difference and value.
Check online reviews and recent rental listings, look for consistency and quality in marketing.
Go undercover at open homes, see how they present properties and interact with applicants.
Review their marketing materials, professional photos, virtual tours and detailed descriptions matter.
Check the NSW Fair Trading “name & shame” register, avoid agents with serious compliance issues and disciplinary action.
Be cautious of social media recommendations, recommendations, tags and flashy posts don’t always equal good property management.
Ask for references and recent performance data, average days on market, vacancy and arrears handling.
Because you dont want to leave your most valuable asset in the hands of someone else, by “Chance” or luck.
