STEPS TO SUCCESS

Steps to success: the best results in the shortest time

Accurate appraisal

Our goal is to rent your property for the best price, to the best tenant, in the shortest possible timeframe. Our expert property managers have unparalleled knowledge of property values in your area which is why we consistently achieve excellent prices. This is an ongoing process throughout your tenancies, we advise on rent increases and update you throughout the process with any local or community changes to the market that will affect your rent return.

Presenting your property

Your property’s presentation is paramount, so we will make recommendations about the small things you can do to improve appearances and maximise your return.

Advertising and marketing

To maximise rent we must find the best tenant. This is where First National Coast & Country offer unrivalled expertise. Our comprehensive marketing will include professional photography, our industry leading website, major real estate web portals, our extensive database, rental lists, signboards, email marketing, social media marketing and letterbox drops.

Tenant selection

We carefully screen all applications, applying stringent criteria and reference checks with national tenancy default databases and debt collection services. We will contact you to outline your options, make a recommendation and ask you to choose who will rent your property. The final choice is yours!

What checks do First National undertake?

We use a combination of approaches to check a tenant’s leasing and payments history. These include a 100 point check, contacting previous landlords or managing agencies, confirming employment, and checking national tenancy databases where people who have been declared bankrupt and tenants with troubled histories are recorded.

Documentation

Lease documentation is prepared, incorporating any specific instructions you may have. The initial rental payments are collected by us and the bond is collected by the NSW Fair Trading. Your tenant is advised of their obligations, and most importantly, we outline our expectations concerning their conduct.

Before your property is rented we will complete a thorough Property Condition Report that incorporates photographic records. This inspection records the presentation of your property before the tenant moves in. This report will again be used at the end of the tenancy to reference the property’s condition. The bond is held until after the outgoing report is completed and the property has been vacated in a satisfactory condition.

Management services

Our expertise ensures ongoing peace of mind, steady income, regular property condition checks, qualified maintenance and emergency repairs.
