Rental growth sparks opportunity

 

An exciting announcement for homeowners and property investors in the broader Mangawhai area: Ignite Property Management has opened their doors in Mangawhai.

Say hello and meet Fiona Shearer, the new full-time property manager based in the Bayleys office at 198 Molesworth Drive (next door to Harvest Blue cafe).

Ignite is a sister company to Bayleys Real Estate.

Strong growth in the community has meant higher tenant demand and with 60 properties on the rental books, and growing weekly, Ignite Property Management was delighted to bring on board an experienced person to assist.

Renting out property with a high level of personalised care, Fiona is keen to match your property with suitable tenants.

Three families snapped up properties just last week and Fiona is on the hunt for more homes to fulfil this demand.

“A large number of local homes are purchased as rental investments,” she says. “Taking care of your own property can be a headache – organising tradespeople, finding good tenants, doing inspections and so on. I’ll remove these stresses, freeing you up to maximise your returns and enjoy the ownership of the asset.”

Fiona understands what is important in a property from a tenants point of view and adds “If you’ve got an eye on a property to buy and would like a clear idea about the possible financial returns, I can visit the property and give you an appraisal from a rental perspective.”

Fiona and her husband, Barry, moved back to Mangawhai after a five-year stint managing a motel in Golden Bay.

She’s no stranger to the Bayleys brand, having past roles in property management, administration and sales.

Living locally means Fiona’s on the ground daily, keeping an eye on property and engaging with local tradies.

Tenant selection is her strength and she has a stringent vetting process.
