Now that's what we're talking about.  Showing the facilities in the pictures.  Yay

Consider showing up to the open for inspection and eavesdropping on what the prospective tenants are saying.  Sometimes you hear some useful info that you can act on.

Hmmmm.  Let's take it to a public vote.

I see that the ad on realestate.com still looks exactly the same as it did last night.  Given that Joe emailed the PM this morning, it is disappointing to see she has done absolutely nothing at all.  What's the phrase?  Your fired…

In Geelong VIC you get slammed with a separate set of water rates and council rates per dwelling, regardless of whether they are strata titled. 

Hi Daniel, what’s with the use of all capitals? It’s like yelling. Alter to mixed case and you will likely get more replies

Not for that kind of performance, no.

I give my PM a xmas present, and she is well aware I am appreciative of her efforts. But the difference is, she gets me great tenants, does so quickly, and keeps me very well informed of what's going on.

I do not see any point in rewarding someone that is sloppy.  So why would you give this PM a bonus? You should not have to point out to her that newspapers on the window of the feature photo is probably a problem.  That's her job.  

You must understand how rental agents are remunerated.  Pretty sure your girl gets paid a base salary and does not get a bonus if she manages to quickly tenant all the properties on her books.  If this is so there is no incentive for her to bother.

You don't have to be nasty about it… you can simply communicate that the vacancy is crippling you financially and you need to try something else to get the thing rented.  Whatever happens, some pictures need to change, it needs to have parking in its listing under the price, and there needs to be standard open for inspections advertised.  None of this call to make a personal appointment nonsense.

I see in the writeup it has a shed.  Ask the agent to get a picture of that too.  Does the house have security doors?  If so, I'd be mentioning it and getting a pic of them too if they look sturdy.

I don't think the bath is the issue.  I think the photo of the front of the house having newspapers on the windows and not showing the offstreet parking in the pic is the problem.  Anyone filtering their search to include only properties with parking will not even see your place.  And there needs to be a scheduled open for inspection advertised.
