As a property manager in Perth, you might not have control over things like market volatility, price and location.

However, there are a number of things you can do to make the property more desirable to quality tenants. Today, our team at Thought Leaders Real Estate will dive into what attracts the best tenants in Perth.

Set expectations by laying out your tenant criteria beforehand

Before you even place a property to market, it’s important to have an idea of what kind of tenant you want. Do you want to ensure they don’t have pets? How about enforcing a smoking policy? Is having a criminal-free history absolutely essential for you? Let us know, because this helps you narrow your focus, and attract the right tenants to enquire. This of this step as the screening, before the screening. 

Professional photos can make the biggest difference

No listing is complete without stunning pictures that show off your property in all its glory. Photos can create visual interest and it will really allow your prospective tenants to really visualise their lives in the Perth home. 

Service goes a long way, and regular maintenance is cornerstone 

It is cornerstone to perform regular maintenance as this ensures that there is less to do when it comes to fixing, and cleaning the property. It also gives potential tenants peace of mind knowing that the property is in the best of hands. Thus making them more inclined to enquire about the home. A step further is preempting maintenance needs. This can save you both time and costs, by reducing the chance of things breaking over an extended period of time.

Get it right from the get-go by screening your tenants

While this may seem like an obvious no-brainer, it is actually a very frequent  property management mistake. Prevention is better than cure as the old adage goes, so put effective tenant screening procedures in place to filter out the bad eggs from the good eggs. You can ask us about our screening process when you get in touch. 

Streamline communication

Communication is key, and the same stands through with property management. Any quality tenant will look for property managers with second-to-none communication skills. Ensure the property manager in Perth you are working with is a strong communicator, and is always easily reachable to answer all your questions. 

Be flexible

When it comes to our Perth homes, things are always bound to go pear shaped. Such is the nature of life. This is why having a Perth property manager in your corner who is flexible enough to plan for the unforeseen is imperative. Also, most tenants will only be able to see the property on the weekend or after work hours, so a good property manager in Perth will be able to work their schedule to meet them.
