CASE STUDY ✨

A self managing landlord recently reached out after experiencing difficulties navigating a troubled tenancy alone.

Situations like this are a reminder that property management is about far more than collecting rent - it’s about protecting your asset, reducing risk, and identifying issues early before they escalate.

Prevention is always better than the cure when it comes to protecting your investment.

With 15 years experience across the South West, I provide honest advice, practical support, and tailored management solutions designed to help investors protect their properties long term.

I’ve broken down the last 12 months of rental trends, market figures and investor insights across Collie, and it’s definitely been one of the more interesting markets to watch.

We’re still seeing growth across both rentals and sales, consistent investor activity, and a really mixed tenant pool coming from government roles, local movement and people relocating for lifestyle and affordability.

Collie has evolved a lot over the years, and it’ll be interesting to see where the market heads next 👀

Are you looking to invest in Collie and want someone on the ground for you? That’s where I can step in.

I’m over in Collie today checking out an off market property for sale through our team for an out of town investor.

If you’re not local, I’ll walk through the property for you, and give you a clear idea of how it would perform as a rental.

I can film a full walkthrough or jump on a live video call with you, so it’s basically like you’re here with me.

This is something I offer my owners and investors I work with, and it makes it a lot easier for you to make decisions without having to travel.

If this sounds like an option for you, give me a call on 0459 909 162.

LEASED IN 24 HOURS - OFF MARKET 🔑

I recently met with the landlord of this Dalyellup property to discuss his investment goals and what he was looking for in an agent. We’re incredibly grateful he trusted our team, not only to secure a quality tenant but to manage his investment ongoing.

Within 24 hours of the management authority being signed, I had a strong application presented and just days later, the tenant was moving in.

A fantastic result that comes down to the right pricing, a well presented home, and a proactive leasing strategy backed by a strong database and local market knowledge.

If you’re a Landlord, I want to share why it’s so important to look beyond the weekly management fee when choosing an agent.

So, a real client story. When we take over management of a property, I always do a full property health check on compliance, maintenance, and rental price - so we can make sure everything is in order for the tenant and landlord, and plan for the next 6 to 12 months.

Now, the rent for this property was about $100 per week under market value. And that’s completely fine… as long as it’s an informed decision by the landlord, they can then choose to increase, decrease or keep the rent the same.

In this case, no rent reviews had been completed at lease renewals, and no recommendations put forward by the agent for the next 12 months ahead, so the property was consistently underperforming.

Now our fees were slightly higher, about $8.50 per week. The owner thought they were saving money by going with a cheaper agent.

But over 12 months, that ‘cheaper’ agent saved the owner $440 in fees… and cost them $5,200 in lost rent.

So please remember, when choosing an agent, don’t just compare fees.

Look at how the agent works, how they are structured, and what they do beyond the initial leasing stage to make sure your investment is performing at its best.
