Experience , knowledge & support
We have nearly 400 property management staff nationwide working under a core principle of ‘ collective commitment ’. This means a network of staff who talk with each other , support each other and share knowledge and ideas .
Ray White promotes this sharing of knowledge through regular events , training days , an online property management community , internal monthly newsletters , and much more .
We also employ a full-time dedicated national Head of Property Management whose sole focus is to look after the needs , ongoing education and improvement of our network . For a landlord this means you ’ re working with a company that continuously evolves and improves , keeps ahead of industry trends , and puts you at the forefront of effective investment management .
As we continue to see almost constant change within our industry we have also seen a need to provide clear and concise information to investors , to help ensure both their tenants and properties are being properly cared for .
Each year Ray White hosts our annual Rent Event in offices across the country ( and more recently online ), providing thousands of investors with free information and resources from a range of industry experts .
These events are designed to create an environment where those interested in property management and investing can come to us for obligation-free help and up-to-date resources .
For more information on these events please contact the Ray White New Zealand on 09 377 5069 .
Return on investment
Employing a Ray White property manager allows you to place your investment in the hands of a professional whose goal it is to manage your investment effectively and increase your returns . Our network of staff are trained to help assist in this process in several ways , including :
• Rent reviews and subsequent increases
• Improved marketing strategies when listing your property for rent
• Regular tenancy inspections to ensure your investment is protected
• Ongoing maintenance schedules to reduce your long term costs
• Zero-tolerance rent arrears procedures
• Reduced vacancy periods , meaning higher annual returns for our landlords
• Stringent tenant selection resulting in less wear and tear on the property
• Fixed term tenancies , where possible to secure your income stream .
When self-managing a property , many landlords find it difficult to implement some of these strategies due to poor relationships with tenants , a lack of knowledge and understanding around what can be done , or a limited understanding of the risks associated by not providing adequate notice or communication to tenants around such issues .
With each tenancy , our property managers understand the necessary balance between having strong relationships with our tenants based on proactive communication and effective management , yet also the need for long-term financial returns and security for our landlords .
Effectively managing a tenancy is similar to running a good business and ultimately our clients can rest-assured knowing their investment is running at its optimum level with a broader long-term view in mind .
