Property Management
Switching property managers is easier than you think
Most landlords stay with an underperforming agent because they assume changing is a hassle. It isn't. We handle the entire transfer — you just make the decision.

Signs it's time to move on
A good property manager protects your asset and your time. If any of these ring true, your current arrangement is costing you more than the management fee:
- You only hear from your manager when something has gone wrong
- Calls and emails go unanswered for days
- Your rent hasn't been reviewed against the market in over a year
- Routine inspections are skipped or endlessly rescheduled
- Your property manager keeps changing — you've lost count of the names
- Maintenance drags on until small issues become expensive ones
The Process
How switching actually works
Four steps, and we do the heavy lifting on all of them. The change is designed to be invisible to your tenant and effortless for you.
Have a no-obligation chat
Tell us about your property and what isn't working. We'll be honest about whether switching is worth it for you — sometimes it isn't, and we'll say so.
We review your current agreement
We check your existing management agreement for its notice period and any end-of-agreement terms, so there are no surprises about timing or cost.
We handle the handover
Once you give notice, we coordinate directly with your outgoing agent to transfer the lease, bond, keys, condition reports and tenant details. You don't chase anyone.
Your tenant barely notices
We introduce ourselves to your tenant professionally and take over seamlessly. A good handover is invisible to a good tenant.
Questions
Switching, answered
- Is it hard to switch property managers?
- No. For the landlord it's genuinely straightforward — you give notice to your current agent, and your new agency handles the transfer of the lease, bond, keys and records directly with them. Most of the work happens behind the scenes.
- Can I switch if my property is tenanted?
- Yes. A change of managing agent does not affect the tenant's lease — the tenancy continues on exactly the same terms. Only the managing agent changes. Your tenant simply gets a new point of contact.
- How much notice do I need to give my current agent?
- It depends on your management agreement — commonly 30 to 90 days, though many agreements allow ending at any time with the required notice. We'll review your agreement with you so you know exactly where you stand before you commit to anything.
- Will switching cost me money?
- Usually very little. There may be minor administrative or handover fees depending on your existing agreement. Weighed against a vacancy avoided, a rent brought back to market, or maintenance handled properly, the cost of switching is typically recovered quickly.
- When is the best time to switch?
- You can switch at any time, but the smoothest window is between tenancies or well before a lease renewal. That said, if your current management is actively costing you, sooner is better than waiting — we can manage a mid-tenancy transfer cleanly.
