We all know 2020 has been a wild ride. We're all looking forward to a well deserved break with family and friends over the Christmas period to take stock of what has truly been an extraordinary year. 

If you're thinking of listing your property for rent some time in the near future, now is the right time to start a conversation with a property manager to make sure you list sooner rather than later. 

Here are our top 5 reasons to list your rental property before Christmas. 

We've written before about the findings of the 2018 Voice of Australian Property Management Report, which found that most property managers are inexperienced, many are not happy in their role and want to leave their job, and that staff retention is often a low priority for real estate agency owners. Yikes!

We know from experience that investors can feel it's a case of "better the devil you know", staying with a less than satisfactory real estate agency simply because that has become the expected level of service. 

Not happy with that, we've taken a look at our own data to determine how we "stack up" in terms of client satisfaction. We're pleased with the results!
