124 | T T Bernadette Cooney Award-winning firm goes the extra mile Waikato Real Estate business development manager, Michelle Pearson. PROPERTY Waikato Real Estate “We act as your agent, so we step into the shoes of the landlord and take care of every aspect of managing the property as if we were the landlord.” Waikato Real Estate is a multi-award-winning property management agency and a trusted local brand for almost 40 years. As a family-owned and operated enterprise since 1985, Waikato Real Estate has garnered trust and accolades, handling a portfolio of over 1300 rental properties. Boasting a team of property managers with a cumulative experience exceeding 75 years, Waikato Real Estate has established itself as a paragon of local knowledge and reliability. Testament to their commitment to excellence, Waikato Real Estate clinched the prestigious Property Management Agency of the Year Award at the 2023 Property Management Conference. This award, reserved for large agencies managing over 1000 properties, underscores Waikato Real Estate’s unwavering dedication to quality, service, and performance. Michelle Pearson, Business Development Manager, notes that their property management team of 19 individuals comprises both property owners and tenants themselves, affording them a nuanced understanding of the region’s property market dynamics. With Hamilton emerging as one of New Zealand’s fastest-growing cities, characterised by a demand for rental housing surpassing available supply, the market offers a stable ground for landlords and investors seeking consistent returns. “We can certainly advise potential investors and developers on where the returns are and how best to maximise them.” Waikato Real Estate prides itself on facilitating property investment opportunities and development prospects in high-demand, low-supply areas such as Hamilton East, Flagstaff, Rototuna, and Chartwell. Clients benefit from the expertise of an award-winning local team, dedicated to high-quality property management, coupled with a competitive, all-inclusive management fee of 8.25% + GST. Beyond the rudiments of rent collection and quarterly inspections, Waikato Real Estate goes the extra mile, assuming the role of a proactive agent, managing properties wisely and comprehensively on their client’s behalf. “We’re here to help grow your nest egg and take the stress out of managing your property. We act as your agent, so we step into the shoes of the landlord and take care of every aspect of managing the property as if we were the landlord,” says Michelle. Engaging a property manager to navigate the intricacies of the tenant-landlord relationship proves to be a prudent and cost-effective strategy for fostering enduring, harmonious, and prosperous tenancies. With evolving legislative landscapes surrounding rights and responsibilities, coinciding with the rising trend of lifetime renting among New Zealanders, Michelle stresses the importance of compliance with laws such as the Residential Tenancy Act, the Privacy Act, and Health and Safety regulations. “If you are not across these fundamental tenancy laws, then you need to hand over to a professional property manager, because if you do these things incorrectly, then you become liable for fines. And you will be fined.” “A successful tenancy is a respectful tenancy and one where both parties respect each other and the law,” says Michelle, underscoring the pivotal role of Waikato Real Estate in maintaining this equilibrium.
