To make your property investment a profitable one, you need the right team working for you. And with the expertise and experience to help you find not only the most suitable property, but also the most suitable tenants, John Greig Real Estate is that team.
Unlike all our competitors we will go that extra mile in choosing the right tenant. An excellent tenant does not just pay rent on time and cause no fuss. They will be extremely clean and tidy and show more care for your inclusions thereby minimising the depreciation and repairs; they will be quiet, friendly to neighbours and will come with excellent proven references.
Employment confirmation and rental references are required from all applicants. Our role is to secure the best possible tenant for your investment property. All tenancy applications must provide us with written confirmation of employment and provide rental references. We confirm all references verbally by interviewing referees.
We know that every day your investment property is empty - it costs you money! Your property will be advertised on the Web; on greig.com.au, domain.com.au, realestate.com.au circulated on our Rental Property list; promoted 24hours a day / 7 days a week in our window display.
Properties for Lease are one of the most active areas of our Web Office. A photograph of your property will be listed, the features and benefits highlighted, indicating the date it will become available.
This listing is updated regularly. We have plenty of prospective tenants to select to get you the optimum rental return on your investment. We have an experienced Property Management department offering prompt and efficient service. When we list a new management we make sure we know "EVERYTHING" about it and have the most extensive property descriptions without missing a fact, speeding up re-letting potential.
We will pay all your maintenance accounts if desired and handle all your insurance matters. We have a team of trusted tradesmen at competitive rates. We constantly monitor all repairs and keep in close contact with our landlords regarding any major issues. In relation to issues dealing with Strata, we will endeavour to deal with any common area issues directly with the strata agents.
We prepare detailed Condition Reports to entering into a Tenancy Agreement. This becomes the "bench mark" for the new tenant. Our condition reports are done using state of the art technology Palm Pilot. This allows for greater attention to detail. In addition to this we also take photos at the commencement of each tenancy for visual evidence. We also supply new tenants with an information sheet of handy hints, special conditions applicable and alterations to owners' corporation by-laws.
All properties are inspected on a regular basis. Following each inspection we will send you a written report detailing the condition of the property, and preventative maintenance suggestions and rental review recommendations. Photos will be taken of any problem areas and submitted to you for review.
Our job is to minimise your expenses and maximise your income - a part of which is to review rentals regularly in consultation with you as owner. We recommend that you take into account the impact of vacancies on your returns, and the advantage of caring tenants to look after your asset.
Most of our tenants pay be direct debit which is the most convenient and secure way of paying rent, or Bpay using the phone or internet OR over the counter at any Australia Post outlet. With either option the funds are electronically transferred to our account and matched against your property.
Arrears are promptly acted upon - initially by phone as a "gentle reminder", followed by letters of demand, and visits to the tenant.
Our rental statements are sent to you and monies deposited to your bank account by electronic transfer of funds during the last working day of each calendar month.
You can select to have outgoings such as council and water rates, and strata plan levies deducted from the rental received.
We will forward you a detailed end of financial year report summarising the year's income and expenditure. Simply send this to your accountant to save time and money. John Greig Real Estate has been managing properties throughout the Sutherland Shire for over 30 years, and have a client base of happy landlords who are accustomed to our pampering style of management.
Our Property Management team is constantly re-training to keep abreast of changes to the Landlord and Tenancies Act of NSW (which is subject to frequent review) and to sharpen their negotiation skills for your benefit.
