Listen "Chaos, Cameras, and Carelessness: The Rental Viewing Nightmare!"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever wondered what actually happens when your property manager conducts inspections at your rental? The truth might shock you.We recently went undercover to witness firsthand how agencies handle property viewings when landlords aren't watching, and what we saw was nothing short of appalling. At one viewing, more than 20 strangers were allowed to crowd through a tenant's home simultaneously, shoulder to shoulder, with zero supervision. The agent remained outside the entire time, completely abandoning their responsibility to protect the property and tenant's belongings.The ripple effects of such negligence are far reaching. Current tenants feel violated and are less likely to renew leases. Quality applicants walk away from chaotic viewings, leading to longer vacancies and weaker tenant pools. Security risks multiply when crowds aren't properly supervised, potentially resulting in theft or property damage. And while the agency may conduct the viewing, it's ultimately the landlord who bears the financial and reputational consequences.This isn't an isolated incident. From agents who never show up to those who ask tenants to conduct viewings themselves, we've witnessed a pattern of negligence that puts investments at serious risk. At Exclusively Managed, we take the opposite approach, conducting structured viewings with limited numbers, respecting tenant privacy, and ensuring every aspect of your property is protected with professional care.Your investment deserves better than what we witnessed and have witnessed before.If you're ready for property management that treats your rental with the respect and professionalism it deserves, contact Exclusively Managed today. We'll safeguard your investment with the care, control and accountability that every property owner should expect.Send us a text If you have any questions or scenarios you would like us to discuss on an upcoming episode, please email [email protected] or visit https://www.exclusivelymanaged.com.au/Donate to the sleepbus foundation here. https://www.sleepbus.org/services/sleepbusfund
