Testimonials - Landlords

From Landlords 

"RE/MAX Success has a very thorough and talented property management team. As landlords, we rely on our rental properties to perform as an investment, and to be cared for and maintained by the tenant. RE/MAX has ensured the rent is paid on time, and that the property is up to the required standard before, during and after a tenancy. Added to this, a 7 day office and 24 hr emergency contact ensures that the tenants are cared for, the properties are rented quickly, and that we as landlords stay informed. During the last eight years that RE/MAX Success has been managing our properties, it has not mattered where we have lived – the level of support has not varied. When we started heavily investing in property, several agents were interviewed to see who had a system in place that ensured consistency of management independent of staff. RE/MAX Success was the only team to offer this. During this time we have seen a number of different managers and staff come and go, but the system has remained. We feel that the RE/MAX Success team is an extension of our business, and we do not hesitate in using them as an example to others, or to recommend them to other landlords who need excellent business support." - Murray & Wendy Schoenfisch

"Our first contact with Ian Knight was 17 years ago when we first arrived in Toowoomba. He had organised a unit for us to reside in until we purchased a home here. Since that time in 1990, Ian has been our first and only port of call when buying and selling. Ian has been instrumental in the purchase of our investment properties which now total 5. Our daughter owns 3 investment properties as well and all 8 are managed by the Property Management Division at RE/MAX Success. The 3 monthly inspections keep us up to date on the properties and maintenance issues are discussed by phone after which we receive a full written report. Screening of the tenants is paramount and our properties have always been fully tenanted and achieve high rental returns. Thanks to the dedication and hard work by all the staff. A huge "thank you" from the Tate family." - Steve & Maria Tate

"Just a quick note to wish you good luck in the 2009 REIQ Residential Property Manager of the Year. The staff who look after our properties are excellent and we are very happy with the way they are run. Over the years we have been with RE/MAX, we have been more than happy to refer people to you and your team. We had been with other agents in the passed, and they were not even in the same league as RE/MAX. We noted the new act coming out in the latest newsletter and agree that it will be a challenging and trying time for all. It seems that some of the politicians seem to forget who actually owns the property! I guess there are some not so good landlords and tenants out there. We have been lucky due to the way RE/MAX screen tenants. Once again, good luck and please pass on our thanks to your team for their excellent service over the years, and we hope that 2009 is not as bumpy as some are predicting." - Mick & Julie Bannister 

"Although you have not asked us for a reference in relation to property management, we felt that we should write to you. Over a period of seven years we have rented out 2 houses in Toowoomba and during that time 4 different agents have managed the properties for us at different times. The level of service from the first 3 agents was extremely poor - unprofessional to say the least, despite being the prominent names in town. When we contacted RE/MAX to take over the management, we were resigned to all Toowoomba agents being the same. That we would stay with RE/MAX until the level of service became impossible, or non-existent as it had with the owners, and then we would mot onto the next one. To our amazement, everything ran smoothly. After the 1st year we realised that the rent was always paid into our bank account on time as agreed; the statements we received were accurate and the correct amount has been paid; the end of year financial statement was accurate; we actually received inspection reports; we were advised promptly when repairs or improvements were required; RE/MAX was proactive in having the tenant renew the lease, or to find a new suitable tenant; and all contact was friendly yet extremely professional. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you." - Judy McNaughton

"We wish to pass on our appreciation over the last couple of years in relation to all your work on our units in Toowoomba. To be in Victoria and have a property in another state would usually be daunting for most people but with you handling our units, we feel that we are next door. The service we have received over this period has been brilliant and you make us feel we are your biggest clients (and we know we are not - yet!). Seriously though, Ian and Katie, you both should be congratulated on running a sensational business and if any of my friends or contacts ever want to buy in Toowoomba, there will be only one call they will be making, and that is to you. Thanks again for everything." - Joe & Michelle Davitt 

“Throughout the whole listing and letting process, we were comforted by the enthusiasm and dedication of Bianca and her colleagues. Organisation of the Open House, and the result of a tenant during a quiet period was testament to your efforts. Well done and thank you.” - Cameron Brown  

"I did not realise how professional RE/MAX was until I placed my property investment with another Agency. The other business did no house inspections, just "drive-by's". Repairs were carried out without my knowledge. I was not notified if or when a new 6 month contract was signed. I rang this firm numerous times with my concerns, which fell on deaf ears. I was very happy RE/MAX accepted me back, not holding any grudges. I now intend to stay with them for some time." - Rosalee Stephens

“I currently have other properties managed in Brisbane and no other Property Management Team have come close to the excellent service I have experienced with RE/MAX. The friendly, helpful and courteous staff that I have dealt with have been outstanding. Thank you for all your efforts. I always feel that my property in Toowoomba is in great hands.”  - Marita Moffett

“As ‘first timers’, we were a little sceptical about renting our house out. People like to tell you all the horror stories about renters. The day I walked into RE/MAX and spoke to Katie about renting our house, I was totally at ease. She promptly made a day for Chan to come to our house to discuss things. Chan was so friendly and helpful. We were so impressed we didn’t bother to contact another Real Estate. We were surprised how easy the whole process was.”  - Jenny Grayson

“RE/MAX is by far the most professional team of Property Managers that we have dealt with. The staff are always courteous and go the extra yards to ensure our properties are achieving maximum returns.”  - Gary Bryson

“Since purchasing our property in Toowoomba, we have had them in two other Agents' hands and unfortunately we found neither of them had complete interest in our rental property – rent up to 5 weeks behind, gardens untidy and other things not seen to. We are glad we decided to try RE/MAX. We can honestly say we have no complaints whatsoever with the staff or the job they are doing. Top marks RE/MAX!”  - Dudley & Thelma Apelt

“Yet again we find ourselves ‘waxing lyrical’ about your Property Management Team! Without question the RE/MAX Success Team has set the standard for all to follow. We literally cannot fault you. The staff are just wonderful. If only we could pack you up and bring you to Brisbane – you’d put the Real Estate Management industry on its head down here! Our sincere congratulations and thanks to you all.” - Mark Baigent

“As people new to being Landlords, we have appreciated being able to leave the rental of our property in such capable hands as yourselves. Keeping the property maintained due to your regular inspections and reports and quick action to secure the service of an appropriate maintenance person is great service. Your local knowledge of markets, rental prospects and maintenance people has been of great benefit to us as newcomers to the area.”- Jenny Thomas

“Your Property Management Department is to be congratulated! We’ve been clients of yours for almost 2 years but the time has really flown! This is due to the professionalism displayed by your staff and the smooth running of the management of our properties. After being in Property Management myself, your company offers the best service and commitment to your clients and there’s no one to compare. We are truly thrilled with the trust, and more importantly, the reliability of your team. It’s a pleasure owning an investment property managed by your company!” - Michelle & Patrick Plunkett

“RE/MAX continues to surprise me with their excellent standards and smooth transactions. Renting property with RE/MAX as Property Managers is a pleasing experience which I highly recommend to other investors and tenants alike.” - Wes Daniells 

“I’m glad I chose RE/MAX Success to manage my property as they are a company that’s efficient with resourceful management. I can already tell RE/MAX is a good company by how dedicated its team members are, they way they work in together and like to keep ahead of everything. You guys are a team! Keep it up! Thanks!” - Stephen Harris
