Why Use a Real Estate Agent to manage your rental property?

Renting a property requires a lot of work and a high level of commitment, which many property owners don?t have the time or the inclination to put in. A good property manager will handle all the headaches and downsides of renting for you, making life potentially much easier. 

What will a property manager do for me?

One of the first reasons to consider when hiring a real estate agent that specializes in property management is that they help provide a buffer between you and your tenant. If there are any problems with late payments or damaged property, the agent deals with these issues so that you can avoid any unpleasant confrontations.

Today?s top property managers are fully licensed Real Estate agents. They know all the ins and outs of property law and the rent regulations that relate to rental properties in Zimbabwe. They can advise you on your landlord rights. 

A good real estate agent does far more than just rent your home and collect your money for you. They also facilitate mediation in the event of late payments (providing a debt-collection service if necessary), organize emergency repairs, organize maintenance and even handle the payment of various bills. 

Some of the duties that you can expect from a good property manager include:

?       Advertising and marketing your property

?       Sourcing and screening potential tenants

?       Managing your financial account

?       Completing inspections on a consistent basis

?       Organising and sourcing tradespeople/contractors for repairs and maintenance

A property manager will give you as much or as little involvement with the daily management of your rental property as you like. If you prefer to take care of some of these tasks yourself, you can write this into your contract.
