Anthony W. - RentBetter Customer

Licensed builder Anthony maintains and renovates rental properties for a living. He's been in the real estate business since 1975 and has managed all of his properties himself since then. Anthony has a unique ability to relate to people and talk to them on a personal level - he's exactly the type of landlord you'd want if you were a tenant! The fact that he has many long-term tenants confirms his reputation as a reliable landlord.  We spoke to Anthony about his experience using the RentBetter platform and how it has helped him manage his own properties successfully.

Anthony's Success with RentBetter

Anthony expressed that as he loves to talk to people it was important for him to maintain good tenant relationships which is one of the main reasons he took on managing his properties himself. RentBetter allows him to advertise his properties on Australia's largest portals. For a flat fee, RentBetter sends all of his inquiries directly to him so he can sort and manage, communicate with potential tenants, run checks, as well as create a lease - All in one place.

On recommending RentBetter to Property Owners in Australia:  

Anthony said that he’d encourage other property owners to try RentBetter to not only save a tonne of money but also to ‘lift their game’ and take that first step to become the captain of their ship and avoid having to rely on decisions or costs put forward by agents.

"RentBetter was the only property portal I could find that offered such a personal response. As so much business is now done online, I chose RentBetter because they are on top of advertising at a very reasonable price. I choose to remain active with my business interests and hope to continue it for many years to come. RentBetter has been of great assistance and their support and services allow me to get on with what I do best”.
