Why LongView
This is the ultimate peace-of-mind service and one which no other real estate agency in Melbourne will offer you. If you want certainty that your rent will be there on the same day, every month, no matter what—whether the property is let or vacant, whether the tenant is on time or not—we provide a Guaranteed Rent Service to you.
Start getting paid in 10 business days after settlement (T&Cs apply). You will never have to worry about meeting the mortgage or losing a tenant and your rental income just before Christmas. Because we manage thousands of properties and have all the data and expertise in house, we manage the risks of vacancy, price and rental arrears so that you never have to worry about them.
LongView offers rental guarantees for up to 5 years at market rents. Hundreds of landlords have taken it up since we launched it in 2019. It has been featured by The Australian Financial Review and been recognised in industry awards for innovation because of the unique cashflow security it provides.
Our clients have told us again and again that good communication is their most important expectation. We begin by clarifying your preferred approach – phone, email, text – and then act proactively to prevent issues. We let you know about problems early and keep you as informed as you want to be while they are resolved. We have greatly reduced our property managers’ administrative workload so they can focus their time on their communications and relationship with you.
Selecting tenants who will take good care of your property is a key factor in creating peace of mind for you. From the first online enquiry, through visits to the property and post-application interactions, our expert team are scanning for red flags that may indicate if a good “on paper” tenant may be problematic in reality. We demand that all tenancy applications include income and tenancy history information which we check thoroughly and verify with employers, previous agencies and national databases.
From the moment you interact with us, you have a single point of contact who will travel with you for the lifetime of your property investment journey. You will enjoy a relationship with someone who knows you and your property, cares about your experience and the investment results you are seeking and has the experience to deliver whatever is needed.
Issues will arise from time to time — something may break, or a tenant may experience personal difficulties. We will outline the issue comprehensively, list your options and provide our professional recommendation. Our experience will guide you to the best decisions, so the issue is resolved quickly and professionally.
We understand you often don’t get to things during working hours—if you have questions about your property, you can call us up to 10pm every weeknight to get answers.
Tenants pay through BPAY or direct debit, allowing them the flexibility to pay on their computer, mobile banking app or over the phone. We also have immediate notifications to them (and us) if the rent isn’t there by the due date. By doing so, we ensure over 99% of our tenants are on time every month.
We inspect properties regularly to check for any signs of improper use or for potential maintenance issues emerging. To do this, we use a combination of experienced real estate professionals and trades qualified inspectors. We see and prevent issues before they come to you, whenever possible, and provide extensive written and photographic reports for your peace of mind.
The laws governing rental properties are substantial and change frequently. We keep our team trained with every new development so they know your rights and responsibilities and can give you expert advice if required. We have over 200 years of property management expertise in our office, so on the rare occasions when legal or regulatory issues arise, we take care of it for you and protect your time, money, and stress levels in any dispute.
Why is it no agency can answer this basic question; “Is Airbnb right for me and for my property?”. All the traditional Real Estate Agencies say “No” because they don’t understand it, have no experience or capacity to manage it and don’t understand the risks. LongView looks at the issue from your viewpoint and the specifics of your property. We assess income differences, occupancy levels, furnishing, and many other factors. We give you the ‘low-down’ on each option so you can make an informed decision.
