Setting Your Property Up For Success When RentingHere are a few things to chat about before the first open inspection of your property Uploading your property on a Monday for an open inspection on a Wednesday Frequency of communication & who I’m calling to give updates Reviewing applications & turnaround time to present the “top 3” applicants to you Refer all enquiries through to me; tenants avoid property managers, but there’s a reason you hired me… to get the best tenant! Something may go wrong; it’s normal and can be fixed Keys and access to the property Ensure your property is clean, tidy and maintenance issues are resolved! Confirmation of lease terms Availibility/move in date for the tenant Lease duration (12 months or 6 months) Is the property furnished? Tenants responsibility for water (usage & supply) Pets? Negotiable or non-negotiable Open inspections Displaying of open inspection times Avoiding private viewings; focus on competitive public open inspections Midweek open inspections vs Saturday open inspections Pre-registration for tenants to view the property Post-open inspection text message with application information Rental figure Confirmation of rental figure Review of comparable rental properties to ensure rental figure is accurate Single figure vs rental range What are the signs that we have not hit the mark? And what do we do about it? Lack of enquiry, low attendance numbers and poor quality applicants Proactivately discuss a plan to generate better quality applicants Make a proactive and considered change to the price to ensure the campaign remains on-track Remember; the most engaged interest for your property is likely to occur in the first 2 open inspections!
