Why choose onsite managers

A survey conducted by Deloitte Australia highlighted the key benefits of onsite rental management in the context on Managements rights. The major finings show that more than 75 percent of lot owners surveyed estimate that onsite letting agents generate higher yields than offsite letting agents and that more than 97 percent of respondents estimate that onsite caretaking directly reduces costs for owners.

The most common area in which an onsite letting agent added value to the owner was in their intimate knowledge of the complex, according to the survey findings. 96 percent of the respondents said this enabled onsite letting agents to be proactive in addressing their concerns as an owner. An on-site letting agent is available for 24 hour assistance with first hand knowledge of the complex and surrounding areas allowing them to respond to enquiries immediately. In short stay accommodation, this results increased customer return rate and in high occupancy and in long stay this encourages longer tenancies and fewer breaches.

Furthermore, with a financial and vested interest in keeping costs down, on-site letting agents strive for the most cost effective means of undertaking various caretaking functions compared to outsourced alternatives. Robust knowledge of the property places us in the best position to ensure its condition and appearance are maintained to the highest level.
