FAQs for Landlords
Is Consortium Property a licensed Real Estate Agent?
Certainly, we are a fully licensed real estate agency.
What services do you offer?
We provide comprehensive property management services to our property owners. Leveraging smart technology, we automate routine tasks that traditional property managers might handle manually. This allows us to focus on delivering an exceptional level of service and support to both you and your tenants. The fusion of our experience with technology ensures a seamless renting experience for both tenants and property owners.
What locations do you cover?
Presently, we extend our services throughout the entire Sydney metropolitan area.
Do you have an office?
No, we prefer a more personalised approach and come to you. If a face-to-face meeting is necessary, we can arrange to meet at a location convenient for you. However, most of our clients find communication through email, phone, or Zoom more convenient.
How do tenants sign the lease if you do not have an office?
Whenever possible, tenants can sign their lease electronically using a computer or smartphone. This streamlined approach ensures that leases and renewals are executed promptly. Recognising that not everyone may have access to compatible devices, we can make alternative arrangements for tenants to sign necessary leasing documents.
Do I get a dedicated point of contact with Consortium Property?
Absolutely, both landlords and tenants will have direct interaction with our hands-on director, also known as the senior property manager.
Can you pay for recurring property expenses such as council rates, strata levies and water?
Certainly. Upon signing up, you can choose which services you'd like us to handle. You'll need to provide us with a copy of the previous bill for the selected service, and we'll ensure timely payment on your behalf using rent collected from your property. We'll send you a copy of the payment along with your statements.
Can I manage my own bills?
Yes, if you prefer to manage your expenses without using rent funds, you can enter your credit card or account information through our owner portal. All deductions will then be detailed in your end-of-year statement for simplified tax reporting.
How are repairs and maintenance handles?
Tenants can log maintenance requests through the tenant portal. Upon receiving a request, we seek the landlord's approval before proceeding with any necessary repairs or maintenance. While not all repairs require landlord attention, urgent repairs outlined in the Residential Tenancy Agreement will be addressed promptly. We aim to contact the landlord first, but in urgent matters, we may proceed to minimise costs and prevent further damage.

How do I receive my rent?
You can opt to have the rent deposited into your nominated bank account instantly, weekly, or monthly. Statements are sent via email or can be accessed 24/7 through the owner portal.
Do you also do sales?
No, our specialisation lies exclusively in property management.
Can I lease my property with Consortium Property and other agents?
Regrettably, due to the upfront costs involved in advertising your property for lease, we only engage in Exclusive Leasing and Management Agreements with our clients.
How do you advertise my property for lease?
To secure a quality tenant promptly, we advertise your property on major online listing websites such as:
Realestate.com.au
Rent.com.au
RealestateView.com.au
Homesales.com.au
Homely.com.au
We offer premiere listing on realestate.com.au which attracts 3 times more enquiries and views than standard listings.
How do I transfer my property from another agent to Consortium Property?
Simply send us a message via "contact us" or call us at 0493 089 814, and we'll handle the process for you.
