Gold Coast, Queensland: Freedom Realty Group understands the complexities that
come with owning and maintaining investment properties on the Gold Coast. That is why we we’ve put together some
commonly asked questions and our answers to them - that Vendors commonly ask
real estate agents on the Gold Coast to give you more information about working
with Freedom Realty Group.
Owner of Freedom Realty
Group, Andrew Jansen, says
“After spending 15 years as a Financial Advisor, I decided it was time for a
change. I identified there was a gap in the Property Management market and
decided to bring new solutions. We provide all of our Clients with the V.I.P
experience.”
1.
What happens if
my tenant doesn’t pay rent?
We collect rent
preferably at weekly intervals and ensure tenant remains paid in advance so it
is difficult for them to ever fall behind. We then disburse money to you twice
a month accompanied by a statement emailed to you, Plus you also have access to
the portal we use as an agency.
2.
Where does the
Bond Money Go?
THE RTA look
after the Bond payments. We ask the tenant to lodge and pay this directly so
that we are not handling these payments. The RTA then send us a confirmation
once lodgement is completed
3.
Should I invest
in Landlord’s Insurance?
Your investment
property is most likely your biggest asset and therefore very important to have
the best landlord policy. We work closely with Terri Scheer on this, your
policy premiums are likely tax deductible also so it’s a win/win.
4.
Can I attend the
Periodic Inspections with you?
Some of our
landlords do this and I am more than happy for you to attend although for your
own convenience we are very transparent, and all information is viewable
through the portal access.
5.
Do I have a say
in who rents my property?
Yes of course.
We provide you a report and talk you through each of the applicants although we
leave the final decision up to you unless you direct us to make the ultimate
decision.
6.
Can I sell my
investment property even if it is tenanted?
If the tenant is
on a fixed term agreement, the property manager/owner cannot make them leave
because they decide to sell. The tenant can stay until the end of their fixed
term, and the new owner will become their property owner. For your peace of
mind we try to keep all tenants on a fixed term tenancy
7.
What happens to
the gardens? Is that my responsibility or the tenants?
The gardens are
to be well kept and maintained by the tenant. It is written into the lease
agreement that it is their responsibility to keep property in the condition
that they found it.
8.
What about Water
rates, is that my responsibility or the tenants?
Tenants are to
pay for their water usage, however the owner must cover the cost for
Supply/access charges, did you know that a plumber must provide a efficiency
compliance certificate.
9.
Can I have a No
Pets policy at the property?
Queensland landlords
will no longer be allowed to refuse pets in rental properties without a reason
deemed valid by the state government.
10.
Can I nominate
my own tradespeople to work at the property?
Of course you
can, although our agency does have a list of preferred tradesman which we have
selectively chosen them based on the quality of workmanship, price and
reliability.
