"Once I could see the numbers, I felt safe. Glad I made the switch."
Vacancies filled rapidly within six months, and Owner A's monthly revenue more than tripled. "At first I was sceptical that simply changing management would change anything, but they showed me a strategy backed by numbers from day one."
How it started
Owner A first contacted us in early 2022, already considering selling. 6 out of 8 units were vacant; income was at 25% of potential. The previous management company had stopped proposing solutions, and the owner had nearly given up.
The improvement process
We started with area analysis, presenting nearby demographics and rental market data. The major pivot — from singles to families — was supported by clear evidence, which we walked through together.
We executed light interior refresh, professional photography, and rent rebalancing within 3 weeks. Within one month of relisting, 4 units had applications, and by 6 months occupancy reached 87%.
