Manage with Harcourts

We're your local property management specialists

It all comes down to experience and a high standard of care. At Harcourts, our property managers treat their clients as if they were in their shoes. We understand the need to find the perfect tenants through credit checks and an in-depth selection process and then look after them to ensure they remain happy, which we’ve discovered extends average tenancy stay. While we take care of them, we clearly communicate all of this back to you through in-depth inspection reports and maximize your return through yearly rent reviews, ensuring your most significant investment gets you the best outcome while it remains looked after.

Is managing a rental property yourself worth the hassle?

One of the most important decision landlords make is whether to manage their rental property themselves or enlist the services of a professional manager. DIY property management may sound easy, but it can be quite complicated and complex with numerous traps.

Issues facing landlords is the legal implication, as risk management is now an essential part of property management. You must ensure that if you are going to do it yourself, then you need to have a thorough understanding of the tenancy legislation and the extensive paperwork that is required. The day-to-day issues and problems that come up need to be addressed. While common issues that you will find emerge are tenants getting behind in their rent, having pets without approval, garden and lawns not being maintained, extra tenants that are not originally accounted for, general maintenance repairs that happen while you are on holiday, and the list goes on.

Landlords need to be careful not to develop a personal connection with their tenants, as they will feel uncomfortable chasing rent arrears. Property Managers are emotionally removed, and it becomes part of their daily routine.

Peace of mind is one of the biggest advantages of putting your investment in the hands of a Property Manager. There are costs involved in employing an expert. However, Landlords paying for a professional service can use these as a taxable deduction when filing tax returns on their investment. Property Managers can also advise on how to best present the property to ensure that a Landlord attracts a good tenant.

We’ve been using Harcourts Property Management Team in Tauranga to manage our Investment Property for some time now and I am very impressed with the comprehensive total management service they provide. We have the luxury of sitting back and letting them take care of our property investment and our tenant with equal regard, which is comforting.

She provides a comprehensive report after her home inspections, and she is very prompt with repairs that are required. I am really happy with the service.

Mandy has been wonderful to deal with, she promptly replies to e-mails, gives us well written comprehensive inspection feedback on a regular basis. She has facilitated repairs to our rental property and effectively communicated with the tenant and ourselves when we have had to undertake work on the property. In a nut -shell Mandy is honest, professional, reliable and responsive, and we are really happy with the quality of service provided to us by Mandy.

Kim has managed our property superbly since 2016. We have complete confidence in her care for our property as well as the tenants. Any issues that arise get addressed promptly and our tenants have the assurance that any maintenance needs are attended to. We have a great relationship with Kim and appreciate her professional service.

Philip and Cesca

We have two rental properties in Tauranga that are managed by Harcourts. Harcourts have managed these for many years. Over that time we have generally worked with Mel and Rachel. The service we have received from Harcourts and namely Rachel and Mel has been awesome. Their service around proactively looking after maintenance and being solution focussed is what makes the difference for us. We have also been very satisfied with tenants recommended and also their regular inspections and communications ensuring our houses are kept in good condition. Both Mel and Rachel provide friendly and timely communication and are a pleasure to work with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Harcourts and in particular Mel and Rachel to manage your rental property.

C Boggiss

As landlords for over 40 years we can honestly say that Alex and Harcourts Advantage are right up there when it comes to providing a professional, competent and trust worthy Property Management service. We have even had a supplier actually phone to say that you were the best Property Manager they had ever dealt with. You make being a landlord easy! Thank you.

Happy Landlords
