SECURING YOUR FUTURE

PASSION, PROCESS, PRIDE

OUR PHILOSOPHY Investing in property should feel secure, not stressful.

Anyone can promise you the best tenants and rental returns. But without a deep understanding of what makes your situation special, your property’s potential may be limited.

At McGrath, we approach property management differently. Extraordinary passion and the industry’s best processes are what set us apart. This is what our team uses to set your property apart from the rest, whether you’re an experienced investor or a first-time owner.

It’s a philosophy inspired by founder John McGrath, and the personal pride he takes in every aspect of our business. It’s what makes us Australia’s most successful residential real estate company.

This is what it takes to secure your future.

OUR APPROACH

LEASING There’s a science to securing the right tenant and the best possible rental return.

Our reputation for excellence as well as access to the most comprehensive list of prospective tenants means we quickly find tenants who are a perfect fit for your property. We know it’s about more than mere numbers. It’s about understanding your goals, what a great investment means to you and the special characteristics of your property people will connect with.

Professional photography. We use only high quality photographs to ensure your property looks its best.

Direct contact via database. Details of your property are emailed to thousands of qualified potential tenants across our extensive and growing database, the day you list it with us.

Online advertising. We promote your property on Australia’s major real estate websites, including mcgrath.com.au which receives over one million page views each month and connects us with the highest possible calibre of prospective tenants.

Local press advertising, signage. Display advertising in local newspapers and for lease signs are still a strong source of available tenants, so we offer these as well as our online package.

Personal attention. We take great care with all reference and identity checks, and initial property inspections, and we personally show all potential tenants through your property. Only the most suitable tenants are selected.

OUR APPROACH

MANAGEMENT The difference between a GOOD property manager and a GREAT ONE often comes down to what happens once your PROPERTY HAS BEEN LEASED. The way we see it, it’s about caring.

Our experienced team carry out detailed, regular property inspections, rent reviews and analysis of the area, so your property stays well maintained and you make the most of local market trends. We use only professional, licensed tradespeople and suppliers. We manage rental payments efficiently and effectively, ensuring reliable, on time payments to you, our customer.

Focused service Our systems and technology lead the industry, but what really sets us apart is our personal attention. You’ll receive regular updates from your single point-of-contact, including monthly and annual financial reports, along with information and ideas on how to lift your property’s long term value.

Knowing everything is taken care of, you can relax and enjoy the benefits of professionally managed asset growth.

OUR APPROACH

INVESTMENT The choice is yours.

At McGrath Property Management we understand that your decision to invest in property is a considered choice. We recognise that there are many other investment options, and that your primary objective is to receive a return on your property investment equivalent to or better than these alternatives.

We also understand that you do not want the management of your investment to be a frustrating experience. You simply want money deposited in the bank regularly to offset the cost of finance, you want asset protection through quality tenant selection, timely maintenance and you want clear and open communication.
