Match the Property Management Specialists
At Match we believe that property management has been treated as a fairly underserviced and underrated element of the real estate business and believe we can vastly improve on what is currently being offered. We are fairly new compared to the other established agents within the inner city; however what we lose in exposure we make up with our enthusiasm to produce the best result for our vendors and landlords, because we are not just selling a house or renting a flat, we are selling
homes and looking after your most important asset like it was our own. We undertake a number of import processes to ensure that your property and investment remains in good hands. Essentially this means that we locate, qualify and select quality tenants, offer suggestions to landlords on improvements to maximise rental outcomes, and ensure that your property is maintained in excellent condition.

Tenant Selection
Tenant selection is the most important element in the property management process. At Match our main aim is to ensure that we select the right tenant, our years of experience and professional intuition within property management will assist in ensuring that your property is in good hands. Applicants are required by law to fill out tenancy applications, from which we conduct a number of rigorous checks (credit, employment history, reference checks, checking tenants rental history against the National Tenancy Database) to ensure that the applicant meets our criteria.
At Match we believe in a collaborative approach to property management and keeping the lines of communication open at all times. Once all checks have been undertaken we will then refer the applications to you for final approval. We believe in a collaborative approach that aims to build a trusting relationship based on open communication.
