| FINDING TENANTS |
We realise that the most critical issue for Landlords is having their property occupied in order to maintain income. Accordingly we have invested considerable effort into maximising our options to find suitable tenants quickly. We will:
- Advertise in Wellington’s daily newspaper, regional weekly and specialist property publications.
- Place listings on the internet, including our own website, general trading websites and specialist rental listing websites.
- Market selected properties to our own database of entities known to be involved in relocating executives and staff into Wellington.
- Place ‘For Rent’ signs on vacant properties.
As soon as a tenant submits 3 weeks notice to terminate a lease we start advertising and marketing the property for replacement tenants.
Our occupancy rate is 99%
| WHO ARE OUR CLIENTS |
We manage properties for a wide range of owners and property investors. Typically they are people living or posted overseas such as New Zealand diplomats and ambassadors. Many are home owners living permanently or temporarily elsewhere in New Zealand. We also manage a broad range of flats, apartments, townhouses and residential homes for investors living outside of Wellington. And in many instances we manage properties for investors who simply want the most professional service, so they can get on with doing other things without the hassle of finding tenants, collecting rent and arranging repairs and maintenance.
Straight forward fee agreement
There are no complex financial arrangements and no surprises. You pay a flat commission on the rent you receive and any maintenance we oversee. Advertising, rates and insurance do not attract commission. There are no hidden costs.

| TESTIMONIALS |
Here’s what Sarah & Matt (Lawyer & IT Consultant) say:
“We first met Mike when we became tenants in a fabulous property he was managing. We were so impressed with the way he looked after us and the property we said if we ever had a rental property we would not use anyone else but Mike.
When we did purchase our rental property about two years later I had lost Mike’s details but was so keen to have him I spent about two days tracking him down from Auckland! Being a lawyer I am quite fussy and have extremely high standards when I use any service and Mike has always exceeded my expectations. He has an amazing attention to detail, maintains regular contact, and does what he says he is going to do when he says he is going to do it. He is reliable and trustworthy.
In addition, he has regularly gone over and above the terms of our contract for us: two examples are that he arranged new carpets for us in just a week and in his own time went around to the property and replaced light bulbs for us. He takes care of our property as if it were his own.
To top it all off he is a really nice guy with a great sense of humour. I can’t recommend Mike highly enough, quite simply if you want the best property manager and management you can find you will use Mike and Active Property Management.”
Malcolm , IT Consultant (Global Risk Managment) – September 2009
“I moved to the UK in 2005 and needed to rent out my house in a hurry. Mike came highly recommended so I handed over the keys and haven’t missed a days rent since. He is great at finding tenants and keeping them. I have been absent for 4 years now and have not had a single problem that Mike has been unable to rectify (unlike property managers on this side of the world!). When property issues have arisen he has examined all options and made everything so easy for me to deal with. The house has had regular plumbing fixes and even full external painting which Mike managed for me – it is just too easy!
Mike undertakes regular checks on the house and provides feedback. I am now in the process of selling the house and he has far exceeded my expectations as usual to help with exit negotiations for the tenants and even providing the real estate agent with essential information for the marketing process.
I would recommend Mike to anyone needing a property manager.”
Chrissy, Company Director – December 2009
“Mike has managed our property in Mt Victoria for the past year at $900 p.w. At that level, it goes without saying that our tenants expected everything to be perfect. Mike was totally unfazed from the beginning – he presented us with a couple of good tenant prospects in admirably short time, he took care of all the paperwork, dealt with last-minute demands, inspected, corrected and overall managed the property to the letter of our contract. Best of all, he was always there for us with excellent and sound advise. We’d absolutely engage him again.”
Doctor AW, Scotland – August 2011
“Over the past few years I have lived in the UK so it has been very important for me to have a property manager that I could Trust, who would be very reliable and would communicate effectively with me. It has been great to work with Mike over the past few years. He has managed my property very well – maintaining continual tenancy, providing income statements, regular property inspection reports and dealing with maintenance issues. He has been outstanding in coping with challenging issues that can arise in renting a property and he has always acted with integrity and given sound advice. I would highly recommend his company.”
