Switching to Kindred
You do not have to wait to switch property managers.
No fees to switch. Kindred coordinates the changeover for Moreton Bay landlords once the management agreement is signed.
Before you switch
What owners think vs what actually happens
What owners think
What actually happens
“I have a fixed-term lease, so I cannot change yet.”
The lease is yours; your agent simply manages the tenancy on your behalf. You can change property managers while the lease stays in place.
“There is maintenance underway, so I need to wait.”
Kindred can obtain the full activity report for any single job, showing full history & notes at file handover, review the work in progress and coordinate the next steps.
“The tenant is in arrears, so changing now will make it harder.”
Kindred can review the ledger and continue the arrears process as part of the handover. Any notices issued or activity by the previous agent are not invalid.
“The tenant is about to vacate, so I should wait until afterwards.”
This can be an ideal time to switch. Kindred can oversee the vacate, property preparation and reletting.
“I will have to tell my current agent.”
Kindred provides the current agent directly with the notice of change of agent, explains the process and professionally coordinates the changeover once authorised.
“I will have to organise the file transfer myself.”
Kindred works directly with the outgoing agency to notify them of the change, obtain the keys, tenancy records and property information.
“Changing agents will inconvenience my tenant.”
Kindred gives the tenant clear instructions and manages the transition professionally and quickly. Kindred systems are easy and user friendly, commonly providing higher tenant satisfaction.
