Who we are

Our services

• Professional & independent residential property management for property investors, by property investors.

• We specialise at the top end of the market. Although operating through West Christchurch also, being Rolleston based, we are the Selwyn District Specialists.

• A family owned business offering a boutique service and clear communication for both our property owners and tenants.

• The largest independently owned property management company operating in the Selwyn District.

• Full service, residential property management for a competitive 7.5% + GST flat rate fee (of the rents received) and with none of the industry standard add on fees for inspections, letting fees, credit checking, arranging maintenance etc

• Thorough tenant selection. As well as credit checking across two separate credit agencies, we check our applicant's details across multiple national tenancy, government and financial databases - many of which are not available to private landlords.

• Initial property condition report (with 500+ photos), first inspection 5 weeks into the tenancy and 3 monthly inspections thereafter - with detailed report & photos emailed to you.

Why Choose Us ?

• Free rental appraisals. We can meet with you at the property and together with information sourced from Property Guru, can provide you with a formal rental assessment if you require this. Alternatively, these can be completed virtually via an app such as Whatsapp or Skype or we are also able to  complete these from a current Trademe or realestate.co.nz listing.

​

• We are a member of the NZ and Canterbury Property Investors Associations and the Property Managers Institute of New Zealand (PROMINZ) as well as an affiliate member of The Property Institute of New Zealand (PINZ)

​

• As a boutique agency with just 150+ properties under management (80+ of these in Rolleston), our focus is on providing great service & clear communication for our existing clients - not on trying to become the biggest Selwyn based property management company.

​

• Specialising in the top end of the rental market (including lifestyle properties) we are able to offer a competitive management fee and more importantly, we do not charge the myriad of other add on charges that other companies normaly charge. 

• While other companies will make you sign a 1 year contract and / or charge substantial break fees, you just need to give one month's notice to cancel our contract at any time.

f

• 99% of our tenants pay rent in advance and 99% of our properties are tenanted at any one time.

​

• We have top industry standard operating systems in place, utilising cloud based software across our business. This includes PropertyTree, Property Guru, Tenancy Portal, IAuditor and viewing tracker on Trade Me. Our core trust accounting & property management software is PropertyTree from Rockend, giving you 24 hr access to the lease, rent and financial statements for each of your properties.

​

• The business owner Kerry Fookes, comes from a management background, leading sizable business teams. As an investor also, with over 25 years of personal property management experience, you can be assured of total professionalism, clear communication and absolute trust.
