Hello, my name is Les Hoverd, and I’m the Managing Director of RER Property Management Group. Over the last 11 years I have helped manage thousands of homes for property investors all over Auckland, from Gulf Harbour in the North, to Tuakau in the South and out to Waitakeres and Howick in the East. One thing I have noticed over the years is that the level of service being provided in the industry is still as shocking as it was when we first started the company 11 years ago, fuelling my resolve to prove to investors that there is definitely a much better alternative to your past experiences!
That is the reason why you are being offered a trial of our service completely FREE of charge without any obligation whatsoever. And whether or not you decide to stay with us, as my way of saying thank you for sharing my determination to improve property management services in New Zealand, I will personally buy YOU a subscription to the New Zealand Property Investor magazine, which is jam packed full of innovative strategies, market data and generally excellent information to ensure you enhance your residential property investment results. If you have decided that YES, you want to learn about what we have to offer, then complete the form above and one of our team will contact you to arrange your FREE subscription.
However, if you remain unconvinced, then please read on to see why our increasingly specialised industry is now no longer accepting that a normal real estate agency is the best option for managing your investment properties, and that continuing to do so could be costing you thousands of dollars in increased expenses paired with minimised rents . . . resulting in higher exposure to unnecessary risks
By answering YES or NO to the following series of questions will help you evaluate whether or not you think you could Maximise Your Returns From Your Investment Property.
Question 1 Has your real estate agent increased your rents by between 5 – 8% over the last 6 months?
Over recent months, particularly as the global recession has all but stopped construction of new homes, and many ex pats are heading home, this economic change has had the effect of creating a shortage in the rental market forcing prices up. So a typical rental of say $300 per week mid last year would now be renting at approx $320 - $330 per week, which is an extra $1,000 to $1500 in your bank account – so if you haven’t had rent increases, your property is more than likely under rented and you are missing out on income that should be yours.
Chris Topia had the following to say about exactly this issue . . .
When I bought my first rental property, it was managed by a real estate agent, who, I thought was doing a good job, but when the tenant handed in notice to vacate I learnt a lot more about what was not being done. We bought from the same agency and they offered to manage the property for me suggesting a rental figure that we accepted (thinking they knew what they were doing) We since learnt that the property was under rented by $80 per week, AND if we had of made a change to one of the rooms (as later suggested by RER) would have improved the rent by $125 per week! Needless to say, we soon jumped ship, made the change to the room and are now well and truly happy letting RER manage our property, and have since bought another 2 properties !

Question 2: Has your real estate agency told you whether they give YOUR keys to tenants to look through your property?
Make no mistake – real estate agencies are STILL giving out keys to prospective tenants so that they can go and view the property on their own, without a staff member accompanying them. This is not only irresponsible, it is downright negligent and dangerous, as it leaving your investment, (worth hundreds of thousands of dollars) open to vandalism, robbery, abuse AND the risk of potential loss through your insurance company not paying out! (Remember, they will take advantage of any loophole to not pay). The prospective tenant they gave the keys to could also easily make a copy of the key and gain access once a genuine tenant has taken the property, helping themselves to your honest tenants personal belongings, and once the theft is discovered, you will promptly be advised that they are moving our again - directly affecting your income. Whilst they are viewing the house, they could also leave lights on, power switches on, doors unlocked and even leave a stove element on (Fire Hazard), AND they could also give a copy of the key to someone else - scary thought when you have no idea who could have a key to your investment.
Question 3: Has your real estate agent shown you what checks they complete on each tenant to make sure you don’t end up with a ‘dud’?
Over the years our criteria for selecting and approving a tenant has been refined and tightened numerous times to reflect the critical importance that we place on this initial stage of the tenancy process. Making sure that this first phase is as stringent as possible speaks volumes for how the tenancy will run over the long term, which is why our new tenant application process is so detailed.
Do your current managers
- Have access to AND check ALL the tenancy databases that are available to professional property managers – many don’t subscribe because they don’t want to pay the membership and transaction fees to access this critical information for you.
- Complete credit checks to ensure the creditworthiness of the tenants – once again another fee based service that the agents must pay for – but so critical in selecting the correct tenants who will care for your property. So many times we see people going into properties that should NEVER have gone in there in the first place.
- Request and receive reference checks from previous Landlords, employers and government representatives like police reference checks?
- Only accept Drivers Licenses, Passports and Photograph Firearms licenses (which are Police checked) to ensure accuracy of information minimising false applications being processed.
- Spend at least half an hour with the tenants prior to and during the signing process completing an interview to confirm yet again that these tenants are acceptable tenants for your property.
Read about one of clients prior experiences
We bought a property in Auckland and had the property managed by another well known real estate agency and before we bought were so careful in making sure that we were selecting the correct type of low maintenance property (for the tenant), in a good location, and basically bought one that we would be happy to live in. Within 6 weeks of the tenants going into the property we had problems, no rent, neighbours complaining and the Police visiting the property – on 3 separate occasions! By the time they were evicted, we lost a grand total of $4126 AND found (during the eviction process) that these tenants should never have gone into the property in the first place as had been evicted from their previous property! Had appropriate checks been done this would never of happened. Since moving to RER Property Management (6 years ago) we have never had another issue since ! Chrry Woods, Onehunga, Auckland)
Question 4: Has your real estate agency shown you how to ensure that you NEVER have to suffer rent arrears / rental income loss ever again?
How would you like to sleep peacefully at night, secure in the knowledge that ALL your budgeting for your property will hold true and not be blown to bits by rent loss and cost to repair malicious damage. What about concerns you may have over a tenant injuring themselves and perhaps suing you or a tenant inviting a friend to live with them who subsequently cooks up a 'P' lab storm in your property (whilst the tenant is at work) ?
All these issues can be protected against, and in almost every case so affordable that the cost is typically less than one weeks rent. Once again, so many times we have seen investors, experienced and novice, suffer extreme financial hardship as a result of the actions of tenants and yet could have easil;y been protected against all these events.

If you have answered NO to any of these questions, then you owe it to yourself and your family to do something about it. It’s highly likely that the real estate agency working for you is doing their absolute best at providing a decent service, but are simply struggling under the weight of not being a specialist property management organisation.
Just like a GP cannot conduct heart surgery to anywhere near the same standard as a specialist heart surgeon, nor can a real estate agent be expected to perform specialist property management functions to the same degree and high levels of service like a company whose core business (their only business) is specialising in property management.
And this is exactly what we do here at RER Property Management Group. I believe so strongly in the exceptional calibre of service that RER provide that I simply want everyone who reads this to experience the difference a specialist management company can make to their investment results, by offering everyone a trial of our services completely FREE for one month.
And in additional to receiving service excellence, and your one month FREE trial period, we will also give you your subscription to the New Zealand Property Investors magazine absolutely FREE as our way of saying thank you.
So Why Am I Offering Property Investors the chance to have their property managed for free for one month.
It's really quite simple. I’ve looked at our figures and realised that most of our clients who use our service stay with us forever and 96.3% of RER Property Management clients say they would happily refer our services to their friends and relatives (based on a recent survey).
So I've bet my business partners that of all the people who try out our service, we’ll get a high percentage staying with us and receive loads of new referrals. After all, there’s virtually nobody else out there who specialises in property management the way that we do.
And even after the trial period is up, we're backing up our service with the following guarantee...
At RER Property Management Group we are serious about our commitment to provide the best property management service to Auckland investment property owners. To make sure this commitment is not just lip service, we offer the following service guarantee to all of our owners as a measure of accountability.
If, as one of our clients, you are in any way dissatisfied with the service we are providing or feel as though we have not lived up to your expectation in terms of the service we have provided in the management of your property, then we will gladly continue the management of your property for the next three months absolutely free of charge.
I figure that rather than spending tens of thousands of dollars on an advertising campaign, it would be worth testing this somewhat crazy strategy to build our business by attracting new clients and word of mouth referrals.
After all, in my opinion, you can’t possibly know just how much our service can mean to you until you put us to the test. And I don’t think you should have to decide anything until you first experience for yourself just what a difference it will make. So, I want you to let me take the risk for a change.
That's right!
Everybody else says, “Use our company. We are the best. Give us your money.” I’m saying, do the opposite. Let me allow you to evaluate our service before you invest a cent. Fair enough?
By the way, I understand you may be sceptical. After all, you’ve probably received disappointing service from a handful of real estate agents or property rental agencies in the past. Personally, I’m extremely sceptical of just about every offer that comes across my table.
That’s why I’m being so generous, to prove to you that we are a very stable, highly respected company who can deliver on their promises... before you invest a cent. And over 400 other property investors can't be wrong. That's right every year over 400 property investors change the management of their investment property from their local real estate agency to RER Property management Group.
So say “YES” to my invitation, and fill in the form at the top of this page right now (click here to get to the form ) to get your free trial. Thanks for reading this very long, but I think very informative letter.
I hope I’ve helped you in some small way.
All the very best
