FAQ's

How do I change the management of my property over if it is currently being managed by another agent?

Simply complete the form attached, submit this form to your current agent, advise Suncoast Property Management that this has taken place and we will take care of the rest. We will advise the tenants of the change of management and new bank account the rent is to be paid into, we will collect the documents and keys from the current managing agent. Everything else carries on as usual – it really is that easy.

Is an agents location important to their ability to manage my property?

More than 95% of prospective tenants use the internet to find homes online and a majority of my current tenants pay electronically, which means an agent’s location is of little importance. At Suncoast Property Management we have lower overhead expenses which means we can invest more in leading technology to ensure a quality property management service.

How can I be sure that my property is being kept in a good condition?

Routine inspections are carried out throughout the year. This is always done by the principal of Suncoast Property Management. It involves a thorough going over of the property both inside and out. Any maintenance issues are also discussed with the tenant at this time. Once the inspection has been conducted, you will be emailed a copy of the condition report with photographs. Owners are always welcome to attend the inspections. If you wish to attend an inspection with me, simply let me know and I will notify you when the next inspection is due, and arrange a suitable time on or around this date.

How often will I be paid?

Payments are processed at mid-month and at the end of each month. You can choose whether you receive a payment once or twice a month.

Do you pay the bills for me?

Yes. We will pay expenses and repairs, rates and taxes for you. There must of course be sufficient funds in our trust account from your property to cover such expenses.

How long before I have a tenant for my property?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions and one that I am unable to give a guaranteed answer to. Some properties are rented prior to completion of construction and/or the property is even available, while other may take a little longer.

Rental properties that are well presented and priced in accordance with the market, which I will guide you on, are more likely to have quality tenants. At Suncoast Property Management I will ensure that you obtain the best possible rental return, with the minimal possible vacancy.
