27 years in the Real Estate industry I just love what I do. Vivian's Real Estate has been the biggest challenge for me and my son Trent and I am so happy to say that Trent is an excellent agent that has honest and integrity like myself which always wins in the end. We are very fortunate to be working with fantastic people and meeting different people every day, helping people is our goal and giving them an excellent experience.

THE ROLE OF YOUR PROPERTY MANAGER

 Your property manager is responsible for and not limited to:

  • Getting your management authority signed off on
  • Arranging the advertising of the property
  • Attending the home opens
  • Checking the applications and references
  • Preparing the lease and bond documents and lodging the bond
  • Arranging for the lease sign up and explanation of the documents to the tenant
  • Conducting or arranging to have a detailed Property Condition Report done before the tenancy begins
  • Collecting the rent and managing the arrears (hopefully not to many arrears)
  • Managing payments to water corp - on billing tenants 
  • Coordinating repairs
  • Performing quarterly routine inspections on your property and providing you with the inspection reports
  • Issuing required notices and documentation in line with the legislation
  • Managing all rent reviews, doing rental appraisal updates and lease renewals
  • Finalising tenancies: re-advertising, bond inspections, reports, damage rectification
  • Communicating with insurers on any claims, if authorised to do so
  • Sending monthly statements and an annual EOFY summary to the owner
  • Ensuring you are fully up to date with your compliance checks
  • Maintaining clear communication with you and your tenants.
Alot of people think that it's easy to be a Property Manager, let me tell you I would rather stick pins in my eyes than do their job. Fortunately for us we have two incredible humans running our property management division and they are a "real" team, work together, help each other, nothing is too much trouble.

Just remember you pay peanuts you will get monkeys.  No, it doesn't matter until it does matter and many a time, I have said NO to people that have got themselves in trouble with tenants not paying their rent, they are way behind and it's court time - nope not doing it you have paid peanuts to monkeys and they were not on top of everything and I am not putting my staff into that position.

We have also over the years weeded out the properties that need a lot of work and owners didn't want to do it.
With only being able to raise the rent now once a year it certainly becomes under market value very quickly.

I really value Property Managers; good ones, they know what they are doing, they know the legislation and they are not a walk over with owners or tenants.  Worth their weight in GOLD well maybe SILVER ha ha....the price of gold is ridiculous. 

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISIONS AND GIVE IT A REAL GO!!
SELLING MOSMAN PARK & THE WESTERN SUBURBS!!
KEEPING IT REAL IS OUR MOTTO!!
