What should you be looking for in a property manager?
If you have ever owned an investment property before, you would know that it can be a huge undertaking, both of time and effort.
So, why not leave all the nitty gritty elements to the professionals?
What should you be looking for in a property manager?
1. That they ensure the rent is paid consistently on time each week
A property manager will sift through potential tenants, researching their financial history, and put in place procedures to ensure the rent is paid effectively each week with little or no hassle for the investor.
2. That all issues and concerns from the tenant are addressed and resolved
Property managers are the communication link between you and your tenant. It is their job to listen and act on all issues the occupant of the property may have during their lease.
3. Your property and assets are looked after and maintained
It is important that you trust your property manager to ensure your property is being looked after and if any damage occurs it is fixed and dealt with in the correct and appropriate manner.
So, why choose Chapman as your property manager?
We do all the above, plus more. We are so confident in our abilities that we guarantee a refund of all management fees if you are not entirely happy with our service during the first three months of management.
Our screening process for finding the perfect tenant includes filing out an application, reference checks, and a sound knowledge of the applicant’s character before discussing the potential options with the owner.
Through our advertising methods, both online and in print, and our in-depth tenant application process, we ensure your property is occupied as quickly as possible.
Properties are then routinely inspected every 6 months to ensure the tenant is cleaning and maintaining the property to our high standard.

I would like to thank you and Colin Chapman for the last 4-5 years for all your assistance. I would have to say that out of all the experiences that I have had with real estate agents whilst in the renting market, Chapman Property has by far been the best and most helpful team of people to deal with. Not only have you guys been pleasant to deal with, but also in emergency situations, (ie; our laundry flooding when the water main broke) and maintenance of the property (smoke alarms, gutter cleaning, replacing fences etc), your team has always been on the ball.

I just wanted to point out the asset you have in Amy Girven, since she has taken on the property management role in your office I cannot fault her in any way. She thinks from an owner’s point of view although has no issue reinforcing the tenants’ rights as well which I personally think is terrific and conveys the message extremely well. Amy’s communication is nothing short of First Rate and should be commended for her efforts as I believe she goes above and beyond in her role.
Recently she has placed a tenant into my property and I only wanted a specific tenant in the property. Amy managed the inspection process to the highest degree passing on her thoughts regarding prospective tenants and keeping the mindset of what I was after.
If this is level of expertise from a property manager I find it hard that it could be topped and would encourage you to put faith in Amy given my experience with her which is all based on her actions, not lip service. A truly valuable asset.
