Seasons change quickly. Just as we may be affected, so too is the rental market, which is why having someone on your team who knows your property and the market well is a huge advantage to you, the landlord.

Summer is often the peak time in the rental cycle. Things may slow down during cooler months, only to start warming up during spring and back to peak periods in the new year. Of course, this is a general observation of the rental market, but it’s one that is reflected more often than not.

Navigating these seasons can be confusing at the best of times, which is why your property manager’s knowledge of your investment makes them an important asset throughout summer, autumn, winter and spring, year in, year out.

Change is necessary at times, but if you are changing property managers as quickly as the seasons, it may not be in your best interest and can even be damaging to both short-term and long-term financial goals.

Having a thorough understanding of your property’s previous rental cycles gives your property manager greater knowledge when planning for action to match market changes.

Good systems, records and data may assist smooth transition one property manager to another, but it takes time to build rapport between property managers, landlords and tenants. More importantly, understanding your needs as a landlord, whether it be communication, outcome or something else altogether, comes with time.

While our role as property managers is to liaise between you and the tenants, navigating the terms of the lease, ultimately our job is to work for you, the property owner. If you are concerned about any aspect of your property, it’s important that you communicate this to your property manager as soon as possible.

As your property manager, we value the trust you place in us to look after your property, throughout all seasons!
