A very common question asked by most landlords; “What benefit would I get when I let you manage my property?” In other words “why would I cut my net profit by paying management fees?” As a matter of fact, having a proper property management company taking care of your asset, realistically increases your profit! Let me explain to you how. First, let’s agree that property investment can be a lucrative financial move.You just need to find a great tenant, sit back, relax and collect rent… simple, right? Actually, ensuring continual profit from your property requires another priceless investment… time!
Leasing a property can be a full time job; from marketing, finding tenants, preparing contracts, adapting to legalities, staying updated with rules & regulations and much more…just to get your renters in the door! Next, you’ll have to tackle insurance, record keeping, rent collection, PDC banking, renewals notices and the list goes on! All of the above, is a Utopic assumption that your tenant is living in a miraculous apartment that did not require a single services request. Going back to reality, you’ll have to deal with all types of maintenance challenges and resolve them on the spot!
So how to overcome such a hassle?
Simply, by trusting The founding root of fäm’s Vision & Mission where it has and will always be “to redefine what investors in the UAE expect of Real Estate agents; by treating our clients with uncompromising integrity and the market with unanticipated innovation”. Our services are endless, starting from the early stages of you buying an off-plan property where we technically take it over on your behalf from the developer; up to advising and finding you the most lucrative exist strategy.
