Was RE / MAX Almohager operating from within Marassi the entire summer ?
Yes , we were operating from an office within Marassi the whole summer period because proximity is very important when renting out vacation property . And because it was a first of its kind arrangement , the developer , Emaar also provided plenty of marketing support , helping us reach their clients through mailing lists and their hotline .
What is the process for renting out property ?
First we create a database of all the units available for rent , evaluate them , take photos , and put them on the market . We agree with the owner on the duration that they would like to rent their property and discuss prices .
We do all the advertising and tenant assessment and so it becomes a very easy process for the home owner who does not have to worry doing any meetings himself , negotiation or contract execution . We do everything from start to finish , including catering to the needs of whoever is renting the property and so neither party is ever involved in any problem . It is all handled by Remax Almohager . Even at the end of their stay , we ensure that the home is returned in tip top condition and refurbished for the next tenant .
What can clients come to expect when dealing with RE / MAX ?
Besides the fact that we make buying , selling and renting a stress-free process , we are also a well-established company with a stellar reputation , 20 branches and one of the largest client databases in the country . Moreover , our agents are highly trained professionals with extensive experience in real estate marketing and property management .
We challenge ourselves to be the most competitive real estate agents by providing services with international standards . We have a strong online presence making us easily accessible , we provide our clients with periodic reports and market appraisals to ensure that they are always aware of shifts and trends within the real estate market .
Accordingly , we provide all our clients with exceptional service , whether they are buyers , sellers , people looking to rent or property developers .
What is the benefit of providing property management ?
The importance of property management is highly underrated in Egypt although it provides home owners and property developers a wealth of benefits . Once we are selected to handle any unit , we ensure that it is always well maintained in terms of cleanliness and repairs . Our applicant screening is a very important part of the process as well since we need to preserve a certain social level and select people who will take good care of the unit during their stay . And because we are the sole contact with the tenant , we handle all payment transactions for owners , depositing the rent to their bank accounts , providing monthly reports on income versus expenses and advise on recommended price adjustments when contracts expire .
How successful has been your experience with Marassi ?
It ’ s been extremely successful and we have a strong track record of very happy clients and tenants , so we look forward to repeating the experience again in 2017 . Moreover , we have already been approached to provide property management services in other locations in the North Coast as well the Red Sea and New Cairo . We will be officially announcing these new areas soon but it is a definite example of how our services are quickly gaining momentum .
