We offer a number of benefits
We offer a personalised service
As a team of four, Len, Alide, Kirsty and Gerard, we offer a personalised service to which we all contribute in different ways.
- Len and Alide are the directors of Nightingales and have a very long, combined involvement in the construction industry: Len as both hands-on building work and project management of building projects, before he moved into real estate and then property management; Alide as an architectural designer and freelance technical writer for the construction industry with over 30 years of design experience.
- Kirsty is Nightingales property manager with more than 25 years experience in property management. Kirsty knows the industry inside out.
- Gerard has an IT background which gives him excellent skills and experience to manage the database and the daily running of the office
We have a great team of tradespeople on hand
We have established strong working relationships with our tradespeople over many years. So they provide us with excellent workmanship and service. When repairs or maintenance work are needed to be done, our tradespeople are on hand to do the work.
(Please note that we are also happy to use the tradespeople of your choice if you prefer.)
We care about tenants as much as we care about owners
We pride ourselves on taking as much care of our tenants as we do of our property owners. We recognise that happy tenants:
- are likely to be long term tenants, and
- will care for their home.
We know the real estate market
With approximately 12 years of real estate experience before moving into property management, we know both the real estate and the rental property market. The broad market knowledge means that Nightingales can ensure that you get the best return on your property by:
- maximising the occupancy of your property
- ensuring that you receive current market rental for your property.
We keep you fully informed
We keep you fully informed about your property by providing you with your own secure webpage on which you can view all details of the status of your property. We also keep you informed about what you need to know as a rental property owner under New Zealand law.
