nidnif g the right t tnane Landlords OUR TOP TIPS WHEN RENTING YOUR PROPERTY

Tenant selection is the main ingredient for a successful tenancy. Let us take the the stress off, by helping you secure a great tenant for your investment property SAdtveerptising1 The first part of attracting a 'good' tenant is to ensure that the online advertisement is showcasing the home to its highest potential to attract applicants. Quality tenants are attracted to quality advertisements. Quality advertisements include; informative but brief ad text, professional photos, 3D virtual tours (free of charge for BL Property Co clients) and after hours open home times. Many clients think that creating ads with these tools can be expensive however, harnessing new technology, these can be more affordable than expected.

Step 2 Open Homes Creating an open home schedule is critical. The \"ideal\" tenant works full time. All of our open homes are held between 4 - 6pm during the week and scattered during the day on Saturdays. We have noticed a significant change in the time it takes to secure a tenant and the ongoing quality of the tenancy after implementing this step. In addition to this, we are local and can take tenants through the property on private inspections, if requested.

SStticekypBeak3s Promoting the home to locals & neighbours (optional). We call this the \"Choose Your Neighbours\" plan. This gives us the chance to find a neighbour who may know someone wanting to move into the area. It also makes them aware of who the managing agent is, in case they ever need to contact us about your home. Step 4 Wknhoowy.o..u On an average week, we meet up to 100 people looking to rent homes on the Gold Coast. We don't have a home for everyone unfortunately, so we collect their data and register them to our tenant database. The second your home is listed in our system, it is sent to the people who have been matched & searching for a similar home. 4/10 rental properties are leased off market using this strategy.

Step 5imFpirrsetssions During the open homes or private inspections, we register each person into the home and ask for feedback. This also gives us the opportunity to get to know the person inspecting. We value first impressions, our first meeting with the tenant and the interaction is taken into consideration when they apply for the home ie, how they present themselves, their demeanour, if they are smokers, etc. Following the Open Home / Inspection, we will call you and also email through a report with a summary of feedback and/or recommendations



SSWttheoep&phow56? Application processing. Here is when we check that the person/people applying are who they say they are and are deemed suitable for your home. During this vetting process, below are some of the main items that we check: Income (affordability) Employment - is it secure/do they work for themselves. Rental history & references - did they look after their previous rentals. Tenant default database - have they ever been listed for tenant default. If they are listed, we will not continue processing their application. Often, we will look for the person on social media to ensure there is no red flags found. Personal & business references Identification Smokers/pets These are only some parts of the vetting process and once we feel an application/s are suitable, we will present them to you for your instructions. It is at this time that we will advise you which one we find 'most suitable'.

Step 7 Lease Documentation & Bond Payments. Once you have approved a tenant, we will contact them and have them sign the lease documents with any prior discussed terms included. At this time, the tenants will also have to apy their 4 weeks bond, which is lodged to the RTA (https://www.rta.qld.gov.au) and we also collect the first 2 weeks rent. This is to be paid within 24-48 hours of being approved to secure the tenancy. Step 8 Tenant Education. Before the te nant moves in, we will have completed an entry condition report with photos & video. This is the document that is used for when the tenant moves out to ensure that it's left in the same condition. Step 9 Communication. You will receiv e a call from us within 3-5 days after the tenant has moved in to put your mind at ease. Ste p 10 Relax. You have great tenants in your property!
