Manage with Harcourts

We're your local property management specialists

It all comes down to experience and a high standard of care. At Harcourts, our property managers treat their clients as if they were in their shoes. We understand the need to find the perfect tenants through credit checks and an in-depth selection process and then look after them to ensure they remain happy, which we’ve discovered extends average tenancy stay. While we take care of them, we clearly communicate all of this back to you through in-depth inspection reports and maximize your return through yearly rent reviews, ensuring your most significant investment gets you the best outcome while it remains looked after.

Is managing a rental property yourself worth the hassle?

One of the most important decision landlords make is whether to manage their rental property themselves or enlist the services of a professional manager. DIY property management may sound easy, but it can be quite complicated and complex with numerous traps.

Issues facing landlords is the legal implication, as risk management is now an essential part of property management. You must ensure that if you are going to do it yourself, then you need to have a thorough understanding of the tenancy legislation and the extensive paperwork that is required. The day-to-day issues and problems that come up need to be addressed. While common issues that you will find emerge are tenants getting behind in their rent, having pets without approval, garden and lawns not being maintained, extra tenants that are not originally accounted for, general maintenance repairs that happen while you are on holiday, and the list goes on.

Landlords need to be careful not to develop a personal connection with their tenants, as they will feel uncomfortable chasing rent arrears. Property Managers are emotionally removed, and it becomes part of their daily routine.

Peace of mind is one of the biggest advantages of putting your investment in the hands of a Property Manager. There are costs involved in employing an expert. However, Landlords paying for a professional service can use these as a taxable deduction when filing tax returns on their investment. Property Managers can also advise on how to best present the property to ensure that a Landlord attracts a good tenant.

We rely totally on her for managing property maintenance, client communications, neighbourhood contact and any issues which arise from time to time. Harcourts fees are reasonable and provide us with sound value for the excellent service we receive. We thoroughly recommend Kim and Harcourt’s Rental Services.

Donna was the Property Manager for our rental investment in Tauranga for over the past 8 years. Her excellent communication between the tenant and us made both our lives so much easier. She has an extensive portfolio of handy men and tradesmen which made the upkeep of the property so much easier. She did regular property inspections which kept us up to date on the properties condition. We were given excellent advice on rental appraisals also. Donna has gone over and above with her help to us as our property Manager.

Marie and I have no hesitation in recommending Donna Aitchison as a Property Manager to any landlord.

Thanks so much for all your help Donna

We have known and trusted Jennifer as our property manager for many years and have built a great working relationship. We are overseas clients and finding a property manager who you can trust is even more essential. Jennifer ensures that our property investment is well looked after and rented out to the right person who fits our property type and location. She has a high level of service as well as excellent communication skills and is fantastic at making on-the-spot decisions if needed. We feel very confident to be in the hands of Jennifer looking after our property while we reside overseas.

Sue has managed my Tauranga property for several years. It’s great to know that the property is well maintained and the tenant is happy with the local and prompt service that Sue provides as a property manager.

I have been using Harcourts to manage my home rental for three years. I have confidence that my home is being well looked after. Communication is great. Mel is very professional. She provides a comprehensive report after her home inspections, and she is very prompt with repairs that are required. I am really happy with the service.

Lisa Mc

We have two rental properties in Tauranga that are managed by Harcourts. Harcourts have managed these for many years. Over that time we have generally worked with Mel and Rachel. The service we have received from Harcourts and namely Rachel and Mel has been awesome. Their service around proactively looking after maintenance and being solution focussed is what makes the difference for us. We have also been very satisfied with tenants recommended and also their regular inspections and communications ensuring our houses are kept in good condition. Both Mel and Rachel provide friendly and timely communication and are a pleasure to work with. We would have no hesitation in recommending Harcourts and in particular Mel and Rachel to manage your rental property.
