Background
The booming growth in Alkimos and Eglinton has led to an influx of new homes hitting the rental market, creating a unique challenge. Many of these properties have similar layouts and finishes, which can make it difficult to attract prospective tenants to a specific property. To stand out in this competitive environment, I work closely with clients and builders from the beginning of the build process to ensure each home is not only completed to high standards but is also positioned to attract high-quality tenants quickly.
My Role in the Build Process
For new builds in these northern locations, I provide a comprehensive service that includes:
- Liaising with Builders: From initial construction phases to handover, I communicate closely with the builders to keep the project on track and to address any issues that may arise.
- Pre-Completion Inspection (PCI) Support: I attend the Pre-Completion Inspection to ensure all items meet quality standards and that any identified issues are resolved before handover.
- Key Collection and Final Checks: Upon receiving the keys, I conduct a final walkthrough to confirm that the property is tenant-ready and that every detail aligns with the client’s expectations.
Strategic Marketing to Attract Tenants
Once the home is ready, my focus shifts to standing out in a market crowded with similar new builds. I implement tailored strategies to highlight each property’s unique features and advantages, such as proximity to beaches, schools, and amenities that attract families and young professionals to the area.
My approach includes:
- Professional Photography and Videography: High-quality images and videos that capture the property’s best angles to make it immediately appealing online.
- Targeted Advertising: Leveraging local knowledge to market the property across popular online rental platforms and social media channels that reach tenants specifically looking in the Alkimos and Eglinton areas.
- Detailed Property Descriptions: Emphasizing any unique design elements or custom finishes, as well as lifestyle benefits that distinguish the property from others on the market.
Results
Thanks to these strategies, I have been able to achieve low vacancy rates and high rental returns for new builds in Alkimos and Eglinton, even when competing against a large volume of similar properties. By managing every detail from build completion to tenant placement, I ensure that clients’ properties quickly attract quality tenants who are willing to pay premium rent for a well-presented, desirable home.
