The Renters Agent

03/01/2022

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a nice and relaxing break and is ready for a great year ahead!

I know I haven't really posted anything for the past year on my socials and there is a reason behind this...

The Renters Agent is a service. A niche one that requires a certain amount of time which hasn't really been given the past 2 years with Covid and the whole rental crisis. The success of securing a rental through The Renters Agent service is dependent on 3 things:
- meeting the criteria to be taken on as a client
- trusting the process 100%
- allowing up to 30 days to find, inspect, apply and secure the ideal home

Now I am not saying it always takes up to 30 days (I have secured homes in less than 24 hours many times over the years) however everyone's situation is different and the same time frames don't always apply. Also we are in a rental crisis, a global pandemic, so if anything everyone should be allowing for things to take a little bit longer during this time not quicker. I understand that some people have months to plan and they can give me plenty of heads up and notice but I have seen a lot of people come to me saying they need a house yesterday or in the next few days. I have been firm with this the past 2 years and will continue to do so. That is an unrealistic expectation. If you sign up to my service I will do my best to find you something as quickly as possible but you also need to allow for the possibility that it could take the whole 30 days. Whether the property you're in is being sold, the lease is ending and not being renewed, owners are moving in or you have been given a rent increase that you're not prepared to meet, you are given AT LEAST 30 days notice by the agent/owner. I don't start looking any earlier than 30 days before the move in date for any of my clients so that gives you plenty of time to contact me and get the ball rolling before you have to vacate the property. Yes, I understand that not everyone knows about my service but it's all about being proactive from the day you are given notice not to wait 1 or 2 months before you decide to seriously start looking.

I hope that clarifies a few things as there is a lot that goes into securing a rental, especially in this market. I really would love to help everyone but I need to be given time to do so...I am only human after all.

FAQS:

1. Do we only pay you once you secure a rental?
- No, I charge a "service fee" which covers the whole process of sourcing properties based off your requirements, doing inspections, applying for properties and finally getting approved on chosen properties.

2. How long does it take to find a rental property?
- My contract is for 30 days but you must allow for the possibility of it taking a little bit longer due to Covid

3. What is your success rate?
- The success of the service depends on you. If you meet the criteria to be taken on as a client, your budget and expectations are realistic and you allow for enough time then I will be able to secure something for you.

4. What areas do you serve?
- Newcastle Region, Lake Macquarie and Hunter Valley regions

5. Who do you work with?
- My database consists of most of the agents throughout Newcastle so I have access to a large share of the market. I also work with a large number of private owners throughout Newcastle who manage their own properties and contact me to lease them for them.

Big shoutout to this legend https://www.facebook.com/469357840505328/

Last week we made something happen as quick as you possibly could. One of my clients was interested in a property and it settled at 5pm on Wednesday. Jye collected the keys and met me straight away in merewether at 5:30 to show my client. Next morning we were all approved. This sums up how we have always worked together, no mucking around we just get it done because of the understanding and communication we have with each other.

Looking forward to the next one Jye!

Thank you 😊

This week I got to sit down with the amazing Rachael from Jackson Bell Property. She is one of my best agents that I work with week in and out and I can’t recommend her enough! We have done a lot of deals over the years the most recent being one of my disability companies that just signed up this week. She is always quick to move on any properties that come up for my clients and we are always well looked after.
