Leasing
Leasing is the foundation of every successful investment — and at Local, it’s where we focus our energy. A strong start sets the tone for the entire tenancy, which is why our leasing process is carefully designed to attract the right tenant, not just the first one.
From professional photography and premium marketing campaigns to thoughtfully structured home opens, we make sure your property is presented at its absolute best. Every enquiry is managed with care, every application is assessed thoroughly, and every tenant is chosen with your long-term returns in mind.
We know the difference between a tenant who simply fills a vacancy and a tenant who treats your property with respect. That’s why our approach goes beyond box-ticking — we combine market insight, proactive communication, and attention to detail to ensure your investment is protected from day one.
Plus, with our pre-apply process on realestate.com.au, applicants can submit their information in just a few clicks, letting us pre-qualify serious candidates before they even walk through the door. By leveraging technology, we streamline the process while maximising your pool of qualified tenants.
Flexible & Convenient Opens
Unlike many large agencies that only hold business-hour home opens, we understand your ideal tenant is probably at work.
That’s why we:
Offer weekend and after-hours appointments.
Schedule staggered viewing times so each applicant gets half an hour minimum to explore the property — no rushing, no crowds.
Ensure we have time to talk with each potential tenant in person, giving you a more qualified and committed pool of applicants.
Pre-Viewing Applications
Applicants can submit applications before the home open, so we can pre-qualify tenants.
Our application process is hosted on realestate.com.au, which 62% of Australians already use, meaning most applicants already have their info stored.
With just a few clicks, tenants can hit “Apply Now” — no roadblocks, no delays.
This streamlined process ensures we maximise your pool of qualified applicants and only bring serious tenants to your property.
Virtual Tours for Every Listing
Our professional virtual tours let tenants explore the property online at their own pace.
Perfect for interstate relocators, expats, or local tenants who want to apply without waiting for a physical viewing.
Reference Checks on Steroids
We will never accept a tenant who doesn’t meet these high standards. Our goal is to find the perfect match for your property.
Every applicant is verified with at least two living history references.
We check everything over the phone, not just by email, including:
Affordability
Past tenancy history
Work references
Database checks
Social media (yep!)
Additional references as needed
