LANDLORDS

Maybe you’ve already got property under management with another agent, and you’re not happy; maybe you’re a first-time investor, but don’t know where to start when it comes to finding good tenants and leasing your new investment out. Or maybe you’re based interstate or overseas and you’ve acquired an investment property in Melbourne, want someone to manage it, but haven’t a clue who to call.

In all of these scenarios, you might be confused, angry, or a bit of both…but you haven’t spoken to us!

Uniquely in the real estate industry, our Principal, Mary, specialises first and foremost in property management. It’s what excites her professionally, developing genuine long-term relationships with her landlords, as well placing excellent tenants in the properties she’s been entrusted to manage and making sure those properties are looked after as if they were her own.

Under Mary’s careful stewardship, Monarch Estate Agents offers a comprehensive, end-to-end property management service to grow your asset and to give you peace of mind.

We take care of everything for you: starting with finding the right tenant.

This includes:

• Arranging photography to showcase your property in the best light.
• Devising and executing a marketing strategy for your asset.
• Conducting “Open for Inspection” events to drive potential tenants’ interest.
• Processing suitably vetted applications, reference and credit checks, and tenant selection.
• Preparing tenancy agreements, entry condition reports, and ensuring all relevant paperwork is complete once the keys are handed over.

After the rental period commences and your tenant moves in, Mary takes care of all requirements during the tenancy, including:

• Making sure all building compliance requirements are met (such as gas, electrical, smoke alarms, etc.).
• Conducting routine inspections every six months, as required under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, and other property management obligations required by the Act or under related regulations.
• Organising routine maintenance and repair works as required.
• Conducting annual rent reviews and ROI optimisation.
• Preparation for hearings at the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) when necessary.
• Landlord insurance support.
• Facilitating tenant retention, and preparing and processing lease renewals.
• Managing tenant vacation processes at the end of the tenancy, and preparing to start the cycle again for her landlords.

Our landlords have the comfort of knowing that if anything goes wrong, Mary is across it – and if they need to speak to her urgently, she’s only ever a phone call away.
