How to choose a property manager You may find that an agency where the director has an active involvement of the property management department will take the business of property management more seriously.

By Sarah Freeman More often than not when discussing property management in my personal or professional conversations, I get asked the following question, “what can I expect from my property manager”. I am staggered at the general lack of understanding about how important a role your property manager plays in the smooth and profitable running of your investment. When looking for a property manager and or agency it is vital that you ask a range if not all of the following questions. Next week we will look at the recent proposed amendments to the current Residential Tenancies Act.

Does the agency have a dedicated property management department and how many staff will be looking after my property? Ensure that your agent has a dedicated property management department. It would be preferable that this department is staffed by a number of experts so there is a continuity of management in the event of one property manager being ill or leaving. Is a director/owner of the agency involved in the day to day management of the property management department? Most agencies have a sales department and a rental department. Generally the business owner has a sales background and not a rental background, and looks after the sales department leaving the management of their rental department to a property manager.

How many years has the property manager looking after your property been working in real estate? This relates to the property manager and not the agency. Going to a brand name agency doesn’t mean their service is going to be any better. Many people start their career in real estate as a receptionist and then move up to the property management department. Some individuals choose property management as a career and this is the type of person that should be looking after your property.

❚ Does your property manager check all of the boxes?

FOR LEASE 7 Ganbar St Baynton, 4x2 with pool & large games room

How many properties does the manager look after? A property manager who looks after too many properties may not have time to devote the attention to your property. Some busy agencies have 200 properties per property manager. In general, this is far too many to give your property individual attention. At some boutique agencies each property manager looks after about 100150 properties. While these agencies may charge a little more for their services, landlords find this extra expense translates to a trouble free investment that often produces a higher return.

Do you check prospective tenants with regard to credit worthiness, past rental history and their current employment? Ensure that your property manager subscribes to a major tenancy database and screens all prospective tenants carefully.

Rare large R30 site A unique opportunity to acquire this neat and tidy four bedroom one bathroom home on a large 827 square metre lot represents an opportunity to become part of the lucrative Karratha redevelopment scene. The property is currently owner occupied, therefore offering vacant possession or could be leased short term whilst awaiting DA approval. Situated in an advantageous location facing Searipple Road, it’s just a hop, step and jump to the CBD and school, the benefi ts of this location are endless.

Think before you renovate

With the block being a level site, there is the opportunity for easy redevelopment, with two-storey development being an option. There has also been some suggestion that this may be re zoned to R40 in years to come. With the city centre about to undergo a redevelopment and the many mining projects that are about to commence in this financial year, Karratha once again will be crying out for accommodation, so here is the perfect time to secure a property to develop. Don’t delay in securing this home as properties such as this are in high demand and sell extremely quickly.

❚ This large level block offers prime re-development potential

It can also be one of the most stressful things you can do in your life. Living in the dust of the half built walls, and maybe even having no bathroom or kitchen for a while, can be either like camping and a bit like having a holiday, or it can divide the family in two. There is no joy in life if you don’t like dust over everything in the house or life having very little normality for the duration of the renovations. It is a very good time though to think about increasing the energy efficiency of your home. I know you’re probably thinking that ‘going green’ usually means extra expenses, but it’s the small touches that make all the difference. When you are thinking about the design of your home, decisions can also be made about heating and more importantly in the Pilbara, cooling, insulation, outdoor areas and appliances. It is a really good time to plan for these

changes so that in the future you can cut costs by making your home more energy efficient now. Doing your homework is a major part in any renovating job and getting the plans right before you begin will make sure any alterations you have done will run more smoothly. Speaking to experts will always help, including energy, lighting and design experts. Solar panels are a great way to ‘go green’, and there are local suppliers in the Pilbara who you can speak to for more information. There are some great ideas out there, so hunt around because the pitfalls are also great. Magazines and home ideas centres, not to mention home appliance outlets, are all great for inspiration. Even a visit to your local plumbing outlet is an eye opener in itself; some of the new tap-ware out now is absolutely amazing in its water saving design. Find out where you need approvals for any building that is being done, including fencing materials, styles or cyclone rating. Think about the

direction your home is facing and do any renovations to minimize the summer heat. The type of windows in your home can make a difference to the amount of heat entering your home, as can having heavy curtains, pelmets, blinds, external awnings or shutters. Paint colours even make a difference to the energy used in your home, as light colours mean less artificial lighting is needed. Recycle as many building materials and appliances as possible, including roof tiles, doors, ovens and dishwashers. Outdoors, a shaded area can only improve your comfort in the heat, and may even replace your indoor living area. Trees, plants and clever design features can all make for a sheltered area, that will reduce your cooling costs. A washing line outside, so you can dry your clothes in the sun, also helps to reduce the energy you use in your home. Go to www. l i v i n g g re e n e r. c o m . au where you can find out about a home sustainability assessment.
