4 Reasons Why Your Property Manager Should Sell Your Investment Property
Selling your investment property is a significant decision. Often, property owners enlist the help of local real estate agents for market appraisals and listings. However, utilising your property manager for this task offers distinct advantages. We, the Iconic Realty Group, renowned for our exceptional property management and sales services, provide these important reasons why your property manager should also be your sales agent.
1. Intimate Knowledge of the Property
A property manager’s in-depth familiarity with your property is invaluable. Unlike a new real estate agent who might need time to understand the nuances of your investment, your property manager already knows the property inside and out. This deep understanding enables them to market it effectively, highlighting unique features and potential benefits to prospective buyers.
Additionally, if your investment property is tenanted, the property manager can work closely with the tenant to ensure the home is well-presented. Tenants who feel respected and involved are more likely to cooperate, ensuring that the property is shown in the best possible light. According to the Residential Tenancy Authority (RTA), “Good communication and respect during these times [are] essential when selling a property."
2. Smooth Tenant Management
Selling a tenanted property requires careful handling to avoid friction. Your property manager, who already has a relationship with the tenant, can facilitate this process smoothly. They can negotiate viewing times, coordinate inspections, and ensure the tenant is comfortable and cooperative throughout the sales process.
Moreover, if the property is sold to an owner-occupier, the tenant will need to move out. Your property manager can assist the tenant in finding a new home, minimising stress for all parties involved. This level of support is something a new real estate agent might struggle to provide.
3. Expertise in Presentation
Presentation is a great deciding factor in selling any property, and we are well-equipped to ensure your investment looks its best. We can advise on minor repairs or improvements, coordinate with tradespeople, and stage the property to attract buyers. As property managers, we understand what appeals to both investors and owner-occupiers, tailoring the presentation to maximise interest.
At Iconic Realty Group, we pride ourselves on going the extra mile. We organise trades even before you’ve listed the property, ensuring it’s market-ready from day one. This proactive approach can significantly impact the sale price and speed of sale.
4. Comprehensive Financial Insights
One of the standout benefits of using your property manager to sell your investment property is their ability to provide comprehensive financial analyses. With a strong background in accounting, we can offer detailed financial reports that help you understand the value and potential returns of your investment. This expertise ensures you’re making informed decisions, aiming for the best possible outcome from the sale.
