Switching to Ray White Management

Is your investment property starting to feel like a second full-time job? Or perhaps you’re already using an agency, but you’re tired of unreturned calls, missed inspections, or rising arrears.

At Ray White Morrinsville, we believe property management should be a passive investment for you. That’s why we’ve made switching to us remarkably simple. In fact, we handle the entire transition for you, no awkward conversations required.

The Two Ways to Switch

1. From DIY Management to Professional Care
Many of our clients started as DIY landlords but found that the constant changes in Healthy Homes legislation and the Residential Tenancies Act became too much to manage alone.

• The Benefit: We step in to audit your compliance, professionally vet your tenants, and take the “emotion” out of rent increases and maintenance.
• The Process: We meet you at the property, review your current paperwork, and take over the day-to-day management immediately.

2. From Another Agency to Ray White Morrinsville
If your current property manager isn’t meeting your expectations, you don’t have to stay. You deserve an agency that prioritizes communication and asset protection.

• The Benefit: You gain access to our “Zero-Arrears” technology, 24/7 Owner Portal, and the backing of New Zealand’s most trusted real estate brand.
• The Process: You don’t even have to call your current manager. Once you sign our management agreement, we notify them, collect the keys, and transfer the tenant records on your behalf.

Our 3-Step “Easy Switch” Process

1. The Strategy Session: We have a confidential chat about your property and any current pain points. We provide a fresh Rental Appraisal to ensure you’re achieving market rent.
2. The Paperwork: You sign a Management Authority. This gives us the legal right to act on your behalf.
3. The Handover: We contact your current manager or tenant. We handle the bond transfer, collect the keys, and introduce ourselves to the tenants as their new, supportive point of contact. You simply sit back and watch your first statement arrive.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I have to wait for the fixed-term tenancy to end?
A: No. A change in management does not affect the tenant’s lease. The tenancy continues as usual; only the person managing it changes.

Q: What about my current management contract?
A: Most management agreements have a notice period (typically 30 to 90 days). We can review your current contract and tell you exactly when the switch can happen. In many cases, we can coordinate the move to happen sooner if the other agency agrees.

Q: Will switching upset my tenants?
A: Usually, it’s the opposite! Tenants value professional management. We send a warm “Welcome Pack” to your tenants, explaining how to report maintenance easily and how we support them in their home.

Q: Is there a cost to switch?
A: We do not charge a “setup fee” for properties moving from another agency. Our goal is to make the transition as financially seamless as the logistics.
