Lower Cost Lowest Cost!
We don't charge a percentage of the rent, so for all but the very very lowest priced rental properties, we are going to be great value for you with no loss of care and service.
We haven't found any other Auckland Property Management company advertising lower fees than ours (if you do find one, please let us know).
For $111 per month you get everything you should be getting from a property manager. Plus no percentage added to maintenance, no extra charges for attending tribunal and no cost for many of the extras which some of our competitors charge for.* (Bye-the-way: if you are looking at other PM sites and you can't easily find out what they charge... they are charging a lot more than us).
How do we do it?
Our business model is designed at all levels to keep costs low. There are no gimmicks, just cost savings. You are not having to pay for us to have expensive premises; because we don't have them. We are mobile, and use the internet for access to our management software and records. Also, you are not paying for expensive marketing and branding. We only advertise when we have capacity for new clients, and use targeted adverts to aim for only those clients (like you) who are searching for a specialised boutique management company which offers better VALUE for MONEY.
Won't I get poor service if I pay less?
No, you won't. See the section above on how we save costs.Won't I be safer with a big Real Estate company?
These are Real Estate sales companies - property management is just an add on for them. For WeRent, property management is all of our business; we have to do it well to succeed. If you want to pay more to have a well know real estate company treat you like just one of their many clients, and for twice the price - well I don't think you would be reading this - am I right? Just ask yourself...Do I want to pay twice as much for less service?
Of course, you want your property to be taken good care of, so you want to make a safe choice. Please read our testimonials if you want more confidence that we will do a great job looking after your interests.Really? Surely a big Real Estate company will do better?
Don't take if from me then. Here is their level of customer service in their own words from a Trademe rental advert.***Please note our office is closed from 12pm on the 23rd December 2014 until the 12th January 2015.

So if your rental property is empty at Christmas.... well it is still going to be empty 3 weeks later with ❚❚❚❚❚❚. While over this same holiday period WeRent signed up a new tenancy agreement on December 28th, beginning the new rental on 3rd January, 2015.
Nov 2020 update. They threatened us with legal action so we covered up the firms name (who needs the hassle)
*Extra fees?
Just to be crystal clear, you will have to pay for your own rental advertising, and the tribunal charge to lodge a claim. There is also a small charge per owner for disbursements (not per property) each time we pay your rents into your account. (2018 update: sorry we now have to charge for inspections... sigh). (2019 update: The Government legislated against charging tenants letting fees - that was 20% of our revenue - so we have to charge them to the owner now... double sigh). Click here to download our client info sheet with the details.We normally do the standard 2 property inspections each year, but will will of course do more if your landlords insurance requires it. And rest assured, that if we are worried about a tenant we will do extra inspections off our own initiative. Our first inspection is within 3 months after a new tenancy begins, and then at six monthly intervals. (Too many inspections and we think the quiet enjoyment of the tenants is disturbed). NB: Those other agencies are selling you 3 monthly inspections just so they can earn more.
