Transferring Management of your Investment Property

Transferring management for your investment property to our Agency is a smooth and seamless process. Once you have signed a Management Authority Agreement which enables sellbuyrent Real Estate to act on your behalf, we formally advise your current Agent that the property is being transferred to our Agency and request that they make the file available for collection within 24 hours. There is no cost in the transfer.

Once the property has been transferred, we make contact with your tenant to introduce ourselves as their new Agent, explain our office procedures, and make a time to meet in person.

Management of your Investment Property

We have an excellent relationship with an extensive and preferred list of contractors, who though regular use and loyalty keep their costs as competitive as possible, without compromising on the quality of the workmanship. Under current taxation law some works undertaken as repairs and maintenance may be allowable as tax deductions. However, you are most welcome to advise us of your preferred tradesman to carry out works at your investment property.

If you are interstate, have time constraints, or are confused which properties to prospect for, this service might help you save time and resources in securing your next property.

Our team regularly research the market looking for the key success words a landlord / investor wants to hear - Capital Growth, Tax Depreciation and Rental Yield. Your Investment Scout will inspect the property and consider its current condition, items that can be undertaken to improve the rental return, the area and potential growth, proximity to schools, shopping and sporting facilities and the overall suitability to be a great ‘all-rounder’ investment.
