Tips When Moving

Here are a few tips when moving home. 

  • Packing: Try using butchers paper instead of newspaper. This will minimise the cleaning when you unpack.
  • Label all your boxes.
  • Books: Be mindful that when packed are very heavy so use the smaller boxes and fill them about half way. Place some lighter object on the top.

My previous experience as a landlord highlighted the importance of selecting the right property manager to look after my investment rental property.  After shortlisting several companies I selected Rite Choice Property Management.  Owner and operator Sue Wilson was recommended to me and after meeting with her I was confident that she would provide that personal touch I felt most of the other real estate companies on the Sunshine Coast could not provide. Since signing up with 'Rite Choice' in 2015 I have been thoroughly satisfied with the service and management of my rental property.  Sue has provided quality tenants ensuring my property is always well maintained with rent paid promptly and I have always been kept informed with any issues that may arise. I particularly enjoy reading the newsletter emailed to me monthly giving updates on upcoming events in our area and key facts and ideas on running a successful investment property. I am confident Sue will continue to provide quality property management for my rental property in the future.

I had the pleasure of working as an assistant to Sue Wilson and her experience and professionalism was second to none.  We then bought an investment property and Sue managed that for us when she was in Chinchilla.  It gives me pleasure to assure you that Sue gives great attention to detail and is very diligent in all aspects of your rental property.  Her work and attitude is exceptional.  All problems from the tenant are dealt with immediately and efficiently.  I believe Sue to be an honest, trustworthy and very keen Property Manager and I appreciate all that Sue has done for us.  She always kept everything running smoothly at all times.

Thank you Sue for the proactive way of managing our property, in regards to both the Body Corporate, and the tenancy.  I had two other real estate agents manage this property over the past 10 past years and I can confidently say that your Company is head and shoulders above them both. I greatly appreciate your professionalism and promptness in handling the various issues for me.  There is a friend of mine in the same area and I will certainly recommend your Company to them.

  We would recommend Sue Wilson as a property manager to any prospective landlord looking for a high level of service and management for their rental property. We have found Sue to be honest and reliable while enforcing a high standard of skill in dealing with a variety of people and their circumstances form all demographics. In our experience as landlords she has shown compassion and discipline where it is warranted while maintaining a moral work ethic. Her knowledge and experience in the real estate business is evident in her management.  She understands the landlords requirements for the securing of good tenants and works accordingly towards this outcome.  

WOW! Imagine if you could duplicate yourself to manage your own property, the level of service you would deliver to yourself, the efforts you would go to, to find the right tenant,  the care you would take with inspections and the passion you would provide to all the menial tasks associated with this job. Sue will treat your property as if it were her own, she prides herself on offering exceptional service and ensuring each and every responsibility is undertaken with enthusiasm, ethics and professionalism. Having worked with Sue in the past, I can confidently recommend her to take care of all your property needs. We wish you were still here, I miss your fastidious attention to detail, your exceptional communication and art of finding the perfect tenant. Our loss is the Coasts gain.  

As an active investor with fourteen properties in different states I am quite selective in choosing property Managers. I have been most impressed with Sue Wilson because she goes above and beyond what a property managers role encompasses. Sue also keeps me abreast of pending changes within the market which allows me to tailor my investing strategy. If you are looking for peace of mind with your investments then I would highly recommend you look no further than Sue Wilson to manage your rental properties.
