How we lease

The art of finding the right tenant

Good leasing is not about speed. It is about finding a tenant who will treat your property with respect and pay reliably. Here is how we do it differently.

🏡

Weekend & after-hours opens

Your ideal tenant is probably at work on a Tuesday morning. We schedule weekend and after-hours viewings so the right people can actually attend.

📋

Pre-viewing applications

Applicants submit their details before they walk through the door. We pre-qualify serious candidates upfront via realestate.com.au with no time wasted.

🎥

Virtual tours for every listing

Professional 360-degree virtual tours let tenants explore at their own pace, ideal for interstate relocators, expats, or remote applicants.

Pre-viewing applications

Serious applicants before they arrive

Our pre-apply process on realestate.com.au means tenants can submit their information in just a few clicks, so we have already pre-qualified serious candidates before they even walk through the door.

No roadblocks, no delays

62% of Australians already use realestate.com.au, meaning most applicants have their information saved. With a few clicks they hit Apply Now and we receive their details instantly.

🎯

Only serious tenants at your property

By removing bottlenecks we get the most applications, fast. We pre-qualify before the open so we are not wasting your time on applicants who will not be selected.

📊

Maximise your qualified pool

More applications from serious candidates means more competition for your property and better outcomes for rent and tenant quality.

🕐

Faster leasing, less vacancy

Pre-qualified applications before the home open means we can move quickly on the right candidate. Less time vacant, less stress for you.

Home opens

Flexible & convenient viewings

Unlike large agencies that hold business-hour opens only, we understand your ideal tenant is probably at work. Our viewing structure is built around real life.

01

Weekend & after-hours appointments

We offer viewing times that work around working schedules, including weekends and evenings by appointment. The right tenant should not miss out because of a 9 to 5.

02

Staggered viewing times, minimum 30 minutes each

Each applicant gets a minimum of 30 minutes to properly explore the property. No crowds, no rushing. Prospective tenants form a genuine connection with your home rather than making a rushed decision.

03

Personal conversations at every open

We speak with each prospective tenant in person at every viewing. That conversation tells us things a form never could, and gives you a more qualified, committed pool of applicants.

04

Pre-qualified before they arrive

Serious applicants are already partway through their application before they walk through the door. We are not starting from scratch at the open. We are finishing the picture.

Tenant screening

Reference checks on steroids

We will never accept a tenant who does not meet our standards. Our screening process is 45 steps of rigorous verification. Not box-ticking but a genuine commitment to protecting your investment.

  • Affordability assessmentIncome verification against rental obligations to confirm genuine capacity to pay reliably and consistently.
  • Tenancy historyThorough review of past rental conduct with direct reference calls to previous property managers, not just by email.
  • Employment & character referencesWe speak directly with employers and personal referees to build a complete picture of each applicant.
  • National tenancy database checksCross-referenced against industry databases to identify any prior tenancy disputes or defaults.
  • Online presence reviewA careful, privacy-conscious review of publicly available information to support a well-rounded assessment of each applicant.
  • Additional references as neededIf anything is unclear, we dig deeper rather than guess. We do not shortcut this step under any circumstances.

Every check. Every time.

Every applicant is verified with at least two living history references. All checks are conducted over the phone, not just by email, because real conversations reveal what templated replies cannot.

We check affordability, past tenancy history, work references, national databases, and publicly available online information. If we have any doubt, we request additional references before presenting an applicant to you.
