Rohan P. - RentBetter Customer

Rohan is a brand new property owner and investor in his 30’s, and after only having his property for a month and a half he’s jumped right onboard the self-managing wagon and is embracing things from the get go. 

Rohan is a self-described technology enthusiast and has been keeping up to date with all the advancements in the real estate industry, which is how he discovered RentBetter. 

Rohan recently, shared a little about his experience using the RentBetter platform and how it’s helping him as a first time landlord. 

What is RentBetter?

RentBetter provides landlords with a more cost-effective way to manage their properties through a simple and intuitive technology platform. We help landlords find tenants and manage their properties for a fraction of the cost of using an agent.

Save Cash: Cut the 7-10% you’d otherwise be paying to a real estate agent. You’ll save an average of $2k per annum, per property. Check out our savings calculator to find out more.

Gain Control: Need to check a rental payment? Generate an EOFY report for your property? Change your lease? Hire a tradesperson? Do it all at the click of a button.

Keep Life Simple: Manage your property from your pocket. Find a tenant and keep your history, files, payments and requests in one place. We’ll run it all for you, with automatic reminders and prompts to keep the process smooth.

Stay Secure: We’re here to help you every step of the way - Automated payments and reminders, tenant checks, and signed legal documents. We’ve got it all covered! 

The drivers behind Rohan’s switch to the DIY model and RentBetter

Rohan had two main drivers behind his decision to give self-management a go.

The exorbitant costs of traditional real estate agents was the first one. He wanted to do a short-term lease and the letting fees of the agents he checked in with were tailored for longer contracts, making it financially unviable.

The second driver was that he had seen the advancement of DIY property management tools. Rohan said that he loves technology and even though there there are a few players in the DIY space, RentBetter stuck out for him due to it’s clean, new, intuitive design and affordable pricing.

He felt really supported by the team with the personal service being a standout as well as the informative articles on the platform to empower owners to learn the ins and outs of managing a property.  

As a first time landlord, Rohan said that the platform has made things feel much easier than he thought it was going to be and that even his partner who isn’t so tech-savvy found things easy to navigate.

He said he loved the centralised system to manage his property making things easy to find things. On RentBetter, there’s no need to go looking through drives and emails for documents, everything that’s important to your property is saved in one easy to access place. 

"RentBetter provides the tools that traditional real-estate agents use to advertise and find tenants as well as screen tenants but don't charge the exorbitant prices that they do. RentBetter is helping us save money and pay off our loan faster!"
"The nice, beautiful, centralised system to manage your property is wonderful. Sure, all this can be done without RentBetter in the traditional way but for peanuts, the technology and system to manage your property is very handy!"
