Do you live near your rental property? Consider how easy it is for you to get to the property from where you live, as living further away will involve more time, cost and hassle when carrying out maintenance, performing inspections, meeting with tenants etc. As a landlord, you will be on call 24/7 to your tenants should they need to speak to you, as well as neighbours who may have concerns about your tenants’ behaviour - is this something you are comfortable with and able to fit into your lifestyle? It’s also important to remember that when you go on holiday, if you are outside New Zealand for more than 21 consecutive days, you must appoint an agent to manage your rental property in your absence or risk a penalty of $1,000.
Will you be able to keep a professional distance from your tenants? Property management is different from other types of investment in that it has a face, with real implications for the people who are living in your property. If you get too friendly with your tenants, it can make it difficult for you to be firm on what is expected of them - e.g. rent payments on time, rent increases in line with market rates, and the treatment of your property. When issues arise, do you think you could be the “bad cop” who chases down rent, listens to excuses, and if necessary, evict a family or a person who has genuinely fallen on hard times? All these issues can take time out of your already busy day and when you are not experienced in dealing with them it can take even longer. Our professional Property Managers can be the ‘man in the middle’ you need to keep you at an arm’s length from your tenants whether you know them well or not.

Hayden Clarke Branch Manager 027 407 0071 Previously ranked as one of the top five commercial salespeople for a nationwide real estate company, Hayden has proven himself to be one of the industry’s top performers. Starting out as the Office Sales Manager at Barfoot & Thompson Kerikeri, he has now moved to the role of Branch Manager. Prior to real estate, Hayden was trained as a Marine Engineer Officer in the Royal New Zealand Navy before completing a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical) at the University of Auckland. This followed by 13 years of experience in the field. The culmination of commercial real estate sales and engineering experience have fostered an exceptional work ethic and strong analytical skills. He’s conscious of putting clients at ease, and knows that facts and figures help you make an informed decision about the offer you are being presented. Outside of real estate, Hayden is a committed father and husband. He’s the member of several sports clubs including football, tennis and paddle boarding. He has also been a Rotary and BNI member and is closely involved in his children’s hobbies including coaching their soccer team. It’s the diversity of outdoor activities and beaches on offer in the Bay of Islands area that make this a special place for Hayden to call home.
