Simple! Fill in our online appraisal form and we will be in touch shortly to arrange a meeting to inspect your property and answer any queries you may have. Once a Managing Agreement has been signed we can commence marketing the property for a tenant.

If you currently have property managed by another agent we can arrange for a smooth transition. We’ll take care of the whole process from collecting the keys, transferring relevant paperwork, and notifying your tenant.

A decision should never be made solely on fees. Primus Realty pride ourselves on our high level of service and the old saying you get what you pay for rings true in the property management industry. A boutique property manager may cost more initially but overall will save you money through the management of your property and sound advice.

By minimising vacancy periods, selecting quality tenants, obtaining the highest rent possible, completing timely rent reviews and having pro active maintenance procedures in place we will save you money.

Please contact our office for an appraisal and to discuss a management package that suits you. Dont forget – all our fees are tax deductible.

Due to thorough tenant selection and adhering to our strict ZERO-tolerance rent arrears policy we do not experience many issues with non-payment of rent.

Absolutely – we are more than happy to employ a lessor’s preferred tradesperson to carry out maintenance work as long as they are licensed and insured to perform the required work. We are also happy to liaise with lessors who wish to carry out minor maintenance and repairs themselves.

Primus Realty ensure to build strong relationships with our own tradespeople to ensure work carried out is of a high standard and at a competitive price. All our tradespersons carry appropriate insurances and licenses.
