How to attract and retain the perfect tenant? It's all about allowing the renter to create a 'home'.
Rent.com.au, Australia's number one rental property portal, has doubled in size in the past four months with numbers of real estate offices using the site rising from 2000 to over 4000 in a sure sign that agencies wanting to build their rental businesses in view of a slowing property sales market are looking to rent.com.au to do it.
The ability to own a pet, hang artwork, place family photos, enjoy a good kitchen and do a little DIY in the garden are big on the wish list of Australia's growing number of renters, according to a survey by Australia's number one rental property website rent.com.au.
Real estate agencies need to build their rent roles and train their staff in property management if they are to continue to grow in a slower housing market. So says Mark Woschnak, CEO of rent.com.au, who is calling the new housing climate the Era of Property Management.
Rent.com.au was established in 2007 to create Australia's first national website dedicated to renters and has doubled in size in the past four months to solidify its position as the country's number one rental property website.
Pioneer. That's the term most suited to rent.com.au CEO Mark Woschnak, who has spearheaded the new era of Australian information management since the uptake of internet and mobile communications in the 1990s.
Australian renters are calling for respect and more bang for their buck when it comes to rental increases and the ability to make their rental a 'home' on the eve of an Australian rental boom.
