Property manager selection checklist |
Yes? | No? |
|---|---|---|
1. Do they really know the area?The bentons agency has been operating out of offices on the corner of Johnston Street and Parramatta Road, Annandale since 1907. We are, without question, the most experienced property management team in the Annandale area. |
||
2. Do they have a dedicated property management team?At bentons you're not dealing with just one or two people in the 'rental department'. Property management is the core of our business. Our team of five property managers is trained to deal with every client and is headed by one of the agency's directors - Shane Torpy. |
||
3. Is the property management team highly experienced?Tired of speaking to the office junior? Or new people who seem to change every six months? You won't get that with bentons. Every member of our team has been with bentons for years, most with at least 25 years dedicated property management experience. You won't get this anywhere else. |
||
4. Do they have a strong, proven, service record?At bentons our service ethic is simple: do for you what we would do for our friends, our families, ourselves. This means we look after your investment property and care for it as if it were ours. |
||
5. Are their fees fair and transparent?At bentons, our fees are competitive, negotiable and open (you can find them on our website) and there are no hidden charges. |
||
6. Does each member of the property management team handle a small number of properties?At some agencies each property manager can handle up to 200 properties. At bentons we all manage the properties spread across a team of five. |
||
7. Is it easy to change managing agents?It is very easy to change to bentons. We can contact the other agent and arrange the complete transfer for you even if the property is tenanted on a current lease and then you are dealing with an acredited Member of the Real Estate Institute NSW - bentons |
