There are several different reasons why an agency is more effective than an individual when letting a property, according to Yvonne Mulllaney of Yvonne Mullaney executive sales and lettings. For a start, an agent will have several properties online at any one time, and so gets an extremely high volume of people ringing looking for a home to rent.
Every area has a ceiling, ie, the highest rent you can achieve in that area. An agent can help you achieve that highest rent by giving you tips on inexpensive ways to make your property the most attractive to viewers.
An agent can present a property to its best advantage in terms of marketing, because she is aware of what renters are looking for in their perfect rental. Ms Mullaney takes professional photographs which present the property in its best light, and can advise on inexpensive ways to enhance the property’s latent potential.
Ms Mullaney is in a position to know what a landlord is looking for in a tenant and when someone calls, she knows that they are the exact fit for what a particular property owner requires. This is very important if the landlord has a good relationship with neighbouring properties and wants to ensure that new tenants are going to fit in well with the adjoining properties.
Ms Mullaney has a great deal of experience negotiating with tenants and will always get the best rental price at the top of the ceiling for a particular area, but will not allow a very good prospective tenant to slip through the net if it is simply a matter of renegotiating a rent slightly downwards to secure a very good tenant who will potentially continue to rent the property for a number of years.
Ms Mullaney receives many recommendations from tenants — and landlords — who put new prospective tenants in touch with her, making it easier to find the right tenant for a property.
Ms Mullaney offers unbiased professional advice on every aspect of the rental market — she and her staff can answer all of the questions that you need to know to maximise your rental income.
