Property Management

Why you should use McFarlane Property Management

ARE YOU GETTING THE SERVICE YOU DESERVE?

IS YOUR INVESTMENT PROPERTY BEING NEGLECTED AND LOSING VALUE?

At McFarlane Real Estate we care about your investment property and offer a comprehensive Property Management service for rental properties in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Lower Hunter Region.

With over 40 years of managing investments for Landlords we have learnt a few things about Property Management and what is required to maximise the return. After all, that is what it’s all about for the vast majority of property investors.

Our clients in particular enjoy some key aspects of our services that very few of our competitors offer. These include;

One point of contact for you;

It is common for Landlords to deal with several different people when contacting the real estate to enquire about their investment/s. We offer our Landlords a Property Manager as one point of contact for all enquiries so you can build a relationship with the person that can answer all queries regarding your investment.

Routine inspections

We carry out a routine inspection in the first 2-3 months of every new tenancy. That way we can identify any issues with the new tenant and/or property and rectify them before they escalate. And rather than being set on bi-annual or annual routine inspections, we conduct routine inspections based on you and your property’s requirements. For example, if there are tenant issues (i.e. damage or cleanliness) we may need to visit the property every 3 months to monitor the issues and take necessary action. This is why our ‘new tenancy inspection’ works so well for Landlords.

Rent review

Our Landlords appreciate our annual rent review. We also review the rent at the end of each fixed term and notify Landlords so they can keep up to date with market rent.

Professional contractors

Having established, professional and trustworthy contractors is a vital part of good property management practice. Our contractors are the best in the business, many of whom have been doing maintenance work for our office’s clients for many years. We offer them good consistent volume of jobs and they therefore ensure their work is of high quality at very competitive prices.

Long term well trained staff

While staff change occasionally, we pride ourselves on offering our Landlords continuity of staff rather than regularly dealing with a new Property Manager. We attribute this to providing our team with a friendly and fun working environment that offers the best training and development in the industry.
