Are you having trouble finding a rental property?
Perhaps you haven’t rented in some time?
The rental market is very competitive and, as the old saying goes, if you snooze you lose! Let us help you submit the ideal application.
At Ray White Buderim, we head the largest rent roll in the area and understand the frustrations of trying to find and secure that new rental.
We understand that finding a suitable property to rent can be an exhausting process. Please see the below helpful hints and tips to make your search and eventual application that much easier.
Perhaps you haven’t rented in some time?
The rental market is very tight and often moves quickly. With a vacancy rate commonly under 1%, it will pay to make sure you are organised before you need to move. Before you begin to view properties, it’s important to know what is required to make a successful application.
Our team advertise all open times online, as well as sending out suitable listings via email. Once you identify a property you wish to view, make sure you email or call our office to register your interest prior to the open home and we will send you an SMS reminder of the inspection.
Contact our team direct at rentals.buderim.qld@raywhite.com or 07 5445 6088.
