Choosing a Managing Agent is one of the most important decisions you will need to
make as an investment property owner. Property Management is a field that re-
quires specialised skills, dedication and experience. Our office has been consistently
providing quality Property Management services since 1964.
Be wary of agents offering low cost fees — in the long run it can often cost you
more when you start to pay for additional services. Agents who are offering
discounted management fees often need to over commit their Property Managers
with excessive properties within their portfolio to cover costs. Subsequently they may
be unable to provide a quality service and may also lead to a high turnover in staff.
“ It is unwise to pay too much, but it is worse to pay too little. When you pay too
much, you lose a little money—and that is all.
When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing you
bought was incapable of doing the things it was bought to do. The common law of
business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot—it cannot be done.
If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and
if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.” John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
British Author, Artist, Essayist and Critic
Making the Decision
The presentation of your investment property should be a top priority. By maintaining
your property to a high standard at all times, will not only make your property easier
to let, but will attract a higher/premium rent and quality of tenant. It also encour-
ages tenants to treat the property and the contents with greater respect.
1. If you are renting a property for the first time, have the property and carpets
professional cleaned. It will make the property look fresh and attractive and
set a benchmark for subsequent tenants.
2. Paintwork, floor coverings and fittings. Be aware that your rental property may
wear more quickly than the average family home.
3. Stay on top of maintenance and repair needs. Attending to repairs and
maintenance when requested will keep your tenants happy and prevent fur-
ther costs and associated issues in the future.

WE DO NOT HAND OUT KEYS FOR RENTAL PROPERTIES. APPOINTMENTS ARE MADE WITH

ONLINE TENANT BOOKING SYSTEM
Potential tenants can book viewings online from either our website:
www.actionrealty.com.au and realestate.com.au. For tenants without internet
access, we can book them through the office
Tenants will receive email/sms notifications to confirm their viewings, and be able to
amend them etc
Tenants will be notified when tenanted properties become available to view
29% of bookings are made through this system after office hours
Since the introduction of this system in February 2013 our average vacancy rate has
been dramatically reduced
APPLICATION TRACKER
Lessors and potential tenants will be kept informed throughout the whole
application process via a sms/email.
This system will allow us to monitor every
application in real time to ensure that the
processing of applications happens as
quickly as possible and communication with
all parties continues to be a priority.
LESSOR REPORTS
Owners will receive reports weekly (at a
minimum) summarising the status of the
available property with information such
as enquiries, viewings (including
comments from prospective tenants)
and applications, just to name a few.
As you can see the report provides a
snapshot of how your property is
progressing through the letting process.
Leasing & Application Tracker System
We pride ourselves on choosing the best possible tenant for your property. To help
us do this effectively we follow the procedure below.
When we locate possible tenants for a property we invite them to fill out an applica-
tion for Residential Tenancy, by all occupants over the age of 18. We require the
following information to be provided:
Photograph identification (Driver’s Licence, passport or 18+ Card)
Other identification such as Medicare Card
Contact details from previous landlords or agents to obtain references
Proof of last residential address
Supporting proof of current income
Once the above information is supplied:
The application is entered into our Application Tracker Program which will immediately notify the Tenant that processing of their application has begun All applicants are then checked on the Tenancy Information Centre Australia
Pty Ltd (TICA) Database which is a facility for agents to list tenants who have an outstanding debt. Any listings found will be investigated further as to their suitability as a tenant
All previous landlords/agents and personal references are checked Income/employment is confirmed If the applicant owns/owned their own property we will confirm ownership and
contact any sales agents or property managers they may have dealt with We then contact you to make the final decision as to whether you would like
to accept this application The Tenant will be kept notified at all times throughout this process On approval of the application and prior to collection of keys, all monies
(bond equivalent to 4 weeks rent plus their first 2 weeks rent) must be paid in clear funds
BARCLAYS MIS PROTECT & COLLECT
Sometimes no matter how diligent we are in managing your property, we have no
control over the 6 prime causes of tenancy problems: Ill health, loss of income,
breakdown of relationship, alcohol, gambling and drugs.
When we have to act in response to such a situation we are locked into a series of
legislative steps which, while procedural, have the effect at times of allowing the
debt to blow out. This is why we have formed an alliance with a specialist debt
collection company called Barclay MIS Protect & Collect, who have specialised in
residential tenancy control and recovery for some 25 years.
Tenant Selection
Our office issues ‘Tenant Appreciation
Certificates’ together with a small gift
to worthy recipients who have
maintained the property to an
extremely high standard, pay their rent
on time and are considerate and
respectful at all times.
We survey our tenants periodically and
also when they vacate as we value their feedback. This allows us to address
any matters which may need
attending to and to evaluate our systems and procedures if necessary.
Potential tenants can register via our website to receive priority notifications
of all new rental property listings.
Our website contains many useful forms and information relevant to the
tenants under the ‘Rent’ tab.
Tenant Services
Tenant Payment Options
Income Management
At First National Action Realty Ipswich we action our rental arrears daily,
unfortunately even good tenants can fall on bad times. In these situations it is
necessary to issue the relevant Residential Tenancies Authority forms which include,
but are not limited to Notice to Remedy Breach and Notice To Leave. This process
has specific time periods and guidelines which we need to follow. During this time
we will keep you informed of any progress.
We offer monthly or bi monthly disbursements of your rental income into your desig-
nated bank account. These payments are made on the first working day of the
month and if bi-monthly, a second payment will be made on the first working day
after the 15th of the month (please allow for any delays due to Public Holidays and
weekends). A detailed statement will also be mailed/emailed to you showing all
income and expenditure along with copies of any invoices paid. At the end of each
financial year a statement will be issued to you outlining all income and expenditure
for your tax purposes.
A Property Investment Club Newsletter is also sent with your statement each month.
Please take the time to read this newsletter as it will keep you up to date with the
property investment sector, including important legislation changes, general
information and office news.
We offer 3 different payment methods including:
Direct debit: From their bank, building society or credit union via DEFT system
Credit card: Via DEFT website
Centrepay: Rent is deducted from Centrelink payments
Inspections are a priority and responsibility of investment management. They ensure
your investment is being well maintained to the highest possible standard.
First National Real Estate have utilised a state of the art app that allows our staff to
prepare all property inspection reporting whilst out at the property using an iPad.
This comprehensive reporting system includes detailed written descriptions and the
photo’s provide a clear depiction of how the property looks, including inside and
outside. Copies of all reports will be emailed/posted to Lessors.
Entry Condition Report
A detailed report with photographic evidence is prepared prior to the tenant moving
into your investment property. This thorough report covers the internal and external
features of your home.
Routine Property Inspections
Routine property inspections are performed once every 3 months (as per legislation).
Our property owners receive a comprehensive report with photo-
graphic evidence after each inspection. The
report details the properties overall condition along with any
recommended repairs and maintenance.
Should there be a problem or issue, the tenant/s will be asked to
rectify the problem or be served with the required Notice and
a follow up inspection arranged to ensure this has been done.
Exit Condition Report
Once the tenant has returned keys to our
office and vacated the
property a detailed exit
report is completed and
cross referenced to the
entry report. This ensures
the home is left in the same
condition as when the
tenants moved in given fair
wear and tear.
At Random Drive-by Inspections
Our Property Managers are always in the area. Drive by spot checks are important as they
can identify if the property exterior is being well maintained or not between routine
inspections. If not, immediate action will be taken to rectify.
Property Inspections
When you decide to choose First National Action Realty
Ipswich we will obtain instructions on how you wish us to
deal with any maintenance issues that may arise. We
request an authorized spending limit. This allows us to
address any maintenance in a timely manner which
reduces the potential for the problem to escalate,
avoids unnecessary delays and helps keep your tenants
happy. Remember a happy tenant usually stays longer,
pays rent on time and cares for your property. In an emergency we will need to act
in the best interest of you, your property and your tenant.
We have invested in a ground-breaking new software system, Maintenance Manag-
er. This system will significantly assist us to manage maintenance and the associated
risks more effectively than ever. Maintenance Manager will ensure that the trades
are providing the service levels and pricing that we would expect and more im-
portantly provide you with the industry’s leading information and status updates. Fun-
damentally, it will provide you with the best, cutting edge service levels.
Maintenance Manager will enhance the communication between us, it will ensure
that you are kept fully aware of the status of every maintenance items on your prop-
erty. It will redefine the way we present key information to you, specifically regarding
new maintenance requests and quotation comparisons. Our emails will contain a
‘Click Here’ button that connects you to our secure Internet approval screen with a
description of work to be done, photos and cost estimates or quotes. From this screen
you can make your choice and we will act on your instructions. You can be assured it
is simple, secure and speedy.
Please note that this will in no way restrict or inhibit your access to your Property Man-
ager, it will just make the communication process more succinct. In fact, the system
will enable them to be able to be more focused on your property. In addition,
Maintenance Manager also includes a unique safety hazard inspection service that
we plan to offer to all Landlords, a critical step forward in identifying and managing
any potential exposures on your property.
In the event that you have your own trades people that you prefer to use, we will re-
quire them to supply proof of insurance and complete a Contractor Appointment
Form with our office. (We are happy to supply them with one). These measures are
for your protection as well as your tenant.
We recommend that a yearly Building & Pest Inspection (currently under review with
the RTA and may become a legal requirement in the near future) be carried out to
help identify any potential concerns and liability risks at the property.
Maintenance
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that as
a Lessor you have legal obligations regarding maint-
nance of smoke alarms in residential rental properties.
The law prohibits Lessors from passing on these
obligations to your tenant.
Most of our Lessors prefer to use a specialised smoke
alarm maintenance company which we are happy to arrange on your behalf.
As per the RTA, Lessors are able to pass on the full water consumption costs to ten-
ants provided ALL the minimum criteria have been met:
The rental premises are individually metered (or water is delivered by vehicle),
The rental premises are water efficient (Water Efficiency Certificate MUST be
supplied) and;
The tenancy agreement states the tenant must pay for water consumption
Items that a tenant can be charged
A breakdown of water charges as shown below:
We are able to pass on water charges with evidence from your Urban Utilities Invoice
along with meter readings taken between tenancies. Please forward your Urban
Utility Invoice to us as soon as possible after receiving it. We are legally required to
give the tenant one month to pay for the water, once we have invoiced them.
Water Usage
Smoke Alarm Obligations
State Bulk Water Charge Yes, tenant can be charged*
Water Usage Charges Yes, tenant can be charged*
Sewerage Usage Charge
(may appear on the bill
as fixed or variable)
No, tenant cannot be charged. Sewerage is not a ser-
vice charge as defined by the Act and cannot be
passed onto the tenant
Fixed Access Charges
(including Water Access
Charge and
Sewerage Access
Charge)
No, tenant cannot be charged
The lessor must pay all fixed charges for water supply
We cannot stress enough the value of taking out Landlord Insurance. Even the best
tenant can sometimes fall into arrears for a number of reasons beyond their control.
Your investment property is a valuable asset and as such it is wise to consider that the
annual cost of insurance is a small percentage to pay in the situation of rent loss and/
or damage to your property.
There are many different companies offering Landlord Protection. When choosing an
insurer please be sure to read the product disclosure statement thoroughly as some
products contain conditions that may negate any future claims.
We will be happy to supply some brochures for different Insurance Companies, Please
contact your chosen provider for more information and provide our office with a
Certificate of Currency once it has been arranged.
After identifying a need in the market place to better accommodate the needs of
not only buyers but also sellers and renters, First Priority was created by First National
Real Estate. ’First Priority’ is a system that will email or sms notifications of new listings to
subscribers with matching search criteria.
‘First Priority’ is a powerful tool that we use to proactively seek relevant tenants for
your property. Tenants can register via the website or within our office to receive
notifications as soon as your property is listed for rent. Most times they receive this alert
before the listing has reached some websites.
As part of our service to our Lessors, you will receive alerts to get a head start on the
property market when our office receives a new property for sale. The benefit to you
is that you can find out what is listed straight away and this provides you the ideal
opportunity to expand your property portfolio.
When you start to receive the property notifications, you can un-subscribe at any
time from the system by clicking on the relevant un-subscribe link.
For Lessors wanting to sell their property, this is a wonderful marketing tool to promote
the property to other Lessors as well as normal buyers.

the process and ensure that the tenants are respected and will ensure the tenant has quiet enjoyment of
the property during the process.
If you decide to sell your rental property and the property is advertised for sale or the property manager/
owner enters to show the property to a prospective buyer during the first 2 months of an agreement
(including a new agreement), and the tenant was not given written notice of the proposed sale before
entering into the agreement, the tenant can end the agreement by giving a Notice of intention to
leave (Form 13) with 2 weeks' notice.
The tenant must give the property manager/owner the notice within 2 months and 2 weeks of the start of
the tenancy.
It is a requirement to seek to tenants written consent prior to an open house or on site auction being con-
ducted on a tenanted property. Written consent must also be obtained for the use of any photos, for
marketing purposes that may include any tenant possessions.
Once the property has sold, The property owner cannot make the tenant leave because they decide to
sell the property. The tenant can stay until the end of the term, and the purchaser will take over the ten-
ancy.
The property manager/owner and tenant may agree (in writing) to end the agreement early (this may
include compensation for the tenant).
Selling A Rental
I have never offered a testimonial before,
so this is obviously something I feel strongly
about. We have four properties in the Ips-
wich area and am exceedingly pleased
with the performance of Action Realty
Ipswich in their management of these
properties.
They have proved diligent in their vetting
of tenants and prompt, efficient and real-
istic in dealing with repairs and human
problems (it is after all a people business).
They are proactive, helpful, friendly and
professional, offering a comprehensive
and much valued service. A good man-
aging agent is as much an asset as the
property itself. In Action Realty Ipswich we
feel we have an excellent managing
agent.
S. Murray
First National Real Estate Action Realty Ips-
wich located at 93 Brisbane Street, Ipswich
has managed my property in Raceview for
several years. I have found them to be
courteous and friendly and proactive in
their dealings with me in the management
of my property.
Their service and response to inquiries has
been prompt and timely.
Inspections are at regular intervals and they
keep me abreast of any repairs or issues
that need to be addressed.
The overall management of the property is
quite good and I am satisfied with their at-
tention to detail and level of communica-
tion that I receive.
P. Coleman
We have been clients of Action Realty Ips-
wich for 2 years. During that time they have
managed our rental professionally and con-
scientiously finding very good tenants which
are still living in the property.
I would recommend their company highly.
M. Shapland
As an owner of residential investment prop-
erties, I have always valued good manag-
ing agents. To balance the needs and
wants of the tenants, owner and even the
house itself. Maryanne does this with diplo-
macy and with quiet skill.
K. Thomson
A friend recommended Action Realty, so
we put the letting of the property in their
hands, and it is still there over 20 years later.
On the whole, the service has been excel-
lent – of course in any organization there
are bound to be a few hiccups from time to
time – but in our dealings with the staff at
Action Realty there have been very few of
these in all that time, so we are pleased to
recommend Action Realty for all the best
things about them. Keep up the good work!
Y & D James
I would like to thank you for the time you
have spent doing the comprehensive entry
condition report for the new tenants at the
property at…..
In the five years that Ange and I have had
the property let through all our various
agents we have not had a report compiled
as well as this!
Please pass this email onto your Manager as
this is the standard that should be a
benchmark in the industry!
A. Gates
I would like to express my appreciation to Sharon and your staff for the assistance we have
received in relation to the relocation of my sister Susan.
This year has been a difficult one for our family having suffered the loss of two immediate
family members and now dealing with the Susan's illness. The move back to Ipswich for Su-
san was urgent and the kindness and courtesy we have been shown is so very much appre-
ciated. Even dealing with the limitations Susan has was no problem for Sharon or anyone
else in your office and Susan has been treated with sincere respect at all times.
Thank you to all and in particular Sharon we will not forget the kindness shown.
In appreciation, K. Sanders
Here’s what our owners have to say
