COVER STORY
What does Preferental do ?
At the core , we are a virtual real estate agency that helps landlords manage all aspects of their rental property from the comfort of their phone or laptop . We offer incredible cost savings to the landlord , coming in at about 75 % cheaper than using a traditional real estate agency for tenant placement , property management and rental insurance . Our guaranteed rental payments are also a game-changer .
As a virtual agency , we don ’ t physically show properties to potential tenants or do physical inspections . Instead , we provide a tech platform that empowers landlords . Landlords can use our platform for advertising their properties on all major listing websites from a single dashboard . We provide an effective lead management system with WhatsApp integration , making it easy for landlords to connect with their potential tenants . We assist landlords with professional tenant vetting , digital lease agreements and collection of deposits and rentals . Our Preferental app makes it easy for landlords ( or authorised proxies ) to conduct thorough property inspections that are immediately saved to their dashboard for future reference .

managing their rentals monthly , making it easier to grow and scale their own property portfolios .
This digital full-service offering is underpinned by our unique Preferental Promise , which takes on the financial risk of the landlord by providing cover for damage to property , eviction costs , and covering rent arrears for up to four months .
