### Rose & Jones Senior Leasing Manager, James Maxwell, highlights 5 key points to achieve a seamless leasing transaction.

The Leasing Agent

- Shows proven ability & passion
- Provides relevant timely info to Landlords & tenants
- Negotiates, not just facilitates
- Has exceptional communication skills
- Closes deals with tenacity

A Property Face Lift

- Apply a fresh coat of neutral colour paint every 7-10 years (subject to tenant turnover)
- Improves feel, perception and quality which equals better tenants
- Costs can be off-set (tax/depreciation)

Professional Photos & Floor Plan

- Makes a better first impression
- Helps potential tenants visualise themselves living in the property
- Keeps the property listing up to date, as improvements occur over time

Consider Pets

- 60% of Australians own a pet
- Renters value their pets like family and are more likely to maintain the property to keep the animal on the premises
- Rose & Jones safeguard your asset and include pet clauses in our leases
- Screen pet applications (registered, de-sexed, references, age, sex, weight, strata approval)

Timing

- High demand for leasing is between mid-January to end of April
- Negotiate leases so they end in the “high demand” period e.g. if a client secures a property in the month of August, negotiate an 18 month lease so it ends in February during the “high demand” in the event they wish to vacate
- Application review speed must not be delayed
- Respond to all enquiry in a timely manner
- Most popular lease periods are 12 months
