What Guardian Can Offer Your Business

Guardian regularly has developers, marketers, buyer’s advocates and resellers approach us and ask what we can do for them. They explain that while they are endeavouring to put people into quality investment choices, if the last piece of the puzzle “Property Management” doesn’t fall into place then the whole experience for the client can be ruined; leaving them with no chance of duplicating another investment property.

The last thing you want when the property is handed over is a lack of service to your clients, poor communication and the property remaining vacant for a prolonged period of time.

At Guardian we offer our investment groups that we partner with a unique opportunity when it comes to managing their clients and entrusting us with their database. Guardian are property management specialists with no sales division which means your client will always be receiving specialised service and advice when it comes to renting their property. They will be communicated with regularly and have their property rented with the minimum of fuss, at the highest market rent, in the quickest possible time. Not only will your clients be happy, they will be more likely to give you repeat business. Guardian also identifies your clients so that if they ask any of our staff about another investment property they are directed back to you. As Guardian doesn’t sell properties we are never trying to poach your clients and get them to buy something else or even sell their existing property as many traditional real estate agents try to do. Selling agents can use their rent roll to try to generate sales and convince investors that NOW is a great time to sell. At Guardian we tell our owners there is never a good time to sell. Hold and duplicate is the message around here!

Also Guardian has the ability to look after your clients’ portfolios on a national basis, covering the wider metropolitan areas with offices in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. For you this means referring your clients to a national company and that they can have the benefits associated with dealing with just one managing agent. It also means that if you are referring an agent for your clients you can maintain and develop a long term relationship with one trusted business partner for all your residential property management requirements and not have to deal with different people in every state. You will also have an allocated Business Manager who will look after you and your clients. This combined with the fact there are no franchise arrangements at Guardian makes the whole process trouble free.

Furthermore Guardian has the experience you need and can help when it comes to analysis of potential estates and suburbs you are looking into. Your Account Manager will be happy to give you feedback when it comes to our opinion of the area for rentability, likely returns and expected growth. This means you will have information about areas before you even start to sell and can be confident you are putting your clients into investment areas that will perform and don’t have an oversupply of rental stock. Also Guardian are happy to help with written rental appraisals for you to use in your marketing, for your clients or for finance.

From time to time companies require their potential clients to be shown the block they are looking at purchasing before they sign contracts and commit to the purchase especially when they are looking at a purchase in a different location or state to where they reside. This is commonly referred to as “a run”. Guardian can also work with you when it comes to these owner visits at a very competitive rate. Having a company that can not only show them the block and the estate but also has a great understanding of the local area, facilities, amenities and the rental market is a real plus when undertaking this role.

Helping show owners around their properties when they visit and being involved with pre-purchase inspections can be of real benefit. Our success rate in this area is second to none and our rates for owner inspections are extremely competitive. Naturally owner visits for our existing clients are completed without cost and our Property Managers love getting the opportunity to meet clients in person when they visit their property.

Often one of the most frustrating aspects of keeping your clients on track in their wealth building journey through property is the issues you face when the property is completed and getting it rented and looked after professionally. If you have had trouble in the past with, have experienced poor service to your clients, experienced long vacancy periods, seen a lack of communication or worse still had your clients being poached for their next purchase then please contact us. Guardian will work towards a mutually beneficial relationship by providing a professional property management service. If you want to discuss this further then please contact Guardian’s National Business Manager – Jonathan Fordham – and he will be more than happy to talk to you about steps moving forward.
