How it Works

Step 1

Proactive Communication

We begin engaging with potential tenants well before inspections, monitoring their interest, communication, and readiness.

Step 2

Arrival Assessment

On the day, we note punctuality, presentation, and professionalism, signs of a tenant who respects time and detail.

Step 3

Insightful Inspections

During the inspection, we ask targeted questions, gauge their engagement, and assess how they interact with the space.

Step 4

In-Depth Application

Once submitted, each application goes through a thorough, legally compliant check, financial stability, rental history, and references.

Step 5

Applicant Selection

We present you with the strongest matches, ensuring you have options and the best fit for your property and long-term goals.

Three Key Steps to Our Proactive Tenant Selection

Each step is designed to ensure we identify tenants who are not only qualified, but truly aligned with your property and goals.

Engagement

From the moment we start engaging, we gauge tenant interest, ensuring they’re serious and aligned before any formal inspection.

Early rapport building

Early communication sets the tone.

First Impressions

We observe punctuality and presentation as early indicators of a tenant’s reliability, before we even step inside.

Timely and prepared arrivals

First impressions count.

Insight Driven

As we tour the property, we ask purposeful questions, ensuring we get a sense of how tenants connect with and care for the space.

Every question is a clue

Thoughtful discovery.

How long does the tenant selection process take?

On average, it takes 7 to 10 days from initial inquiry to final approval, ensuring we’re thorough at every step.

What does the leasing fee cost?

Our leasing fee is two weeks’ rent plus GST, and it covers the entire selection process from marketing to unlimited inspections and final tenant checks.

What if I have only one applicant?

We still conduct our full review, but we ensure that every candidate is fully vetted, so you always have confidence in the selection.

What role do I have in the final decision?

We compile all the data and provide our expert advice. Ultimately, you make the final call, knowing every detail has been considered.
