Renting your property

Becoming a landlord for the first time is a big step to make in the property world – and whilst there are many things to consider, the better your agent at guiding you through the overall renting process the smoother and more successful your new venture will be.

The first place to start is by getting a rental valuation. Most agents profess expert Saint John knowledge – it’s how they guarantee an accurate valuation. The thing is, we’ve been doing this since 1999, so it’s safe to say we know a thing or two about the Saint John housing market. Pair this with our proven valuation method and the result is a fair, achievable rental assessment delivered within 24 hours of us visiting your property.

One of the biggest concerns for most first-time landlords is the quality of tenant – after all, you’re handing the reins over and want your property kept just as you have and would. This is where we are in a league of our own.

We have a database of thousands of qualified tenants, powered by a unique matching service that goes way beyond generic name and occupancy details. With over 33 steps taken to ensure a tenant is qualified, we guarantee quality – put simply, if we wouldn’t let someone rent a property of our own, we wouldn’t allow them to rent yours. And if that wasn’t enough to convince you, our average contract term is 12 months – a testament to the quality of our landlord/tenant relationships.
