Sharleen was moving out of the Pickering townhouse she had owned and lived in for 11  years to share a house with her boyfriend. She wanted to keep the townhouse.  However, she was concerned about finding the “right” tenant(s) who would look after her  home as if it was their own.


I had helped her boyfriend rent out his home a few years earlier and he suggested she  call me. I inspected the house and did some research to determine the rent she could  get for her house. Since she had a small mortgage, I determined she could receive a  positive cash flow. I also told her that over the years, even if prices drop, eventually, the market always recovers and goes even higher than it was before, so holding onto a  house long-term is a good idea. In a nutshell, renting out the house would end up being  a great investment!



If you talk to most real estate agents, they will tell you it’s almost not worth it to them to  work with rentals. There’s probably five (5) times the amount of paperwork and if you’re  working on the listing (landlord) side, you also have to contact the potential tenants’ references, present landlord and employer to confirm employment. You also have to  know how to read credit reports and know all about the “Residential Tenancy  Agreement”. There’s just so much more to do when working on a rental – and for a  fraction of the commission vs. a buy or sell.


With all the work involved for a much lower commission, why do I stress to my team that  it’s an important aspect of our business? Because if we do a great job for our tenant  clients or our landlord clients, they will not only use us again, but when the time comes  for the tenant to buy or the landlord to sell, they will remember us. Our mission  statement reflects this:


The mission of The Brian Kondo Real Estate Team is to provide such outstanding  service when assisting our clients with their real estate needs, that they will have  no hesitation in using our services again or recommending us to their friends,  relatives, or acquaintances. In short, we want “A CLIENT FOR LIFE”!


So, whether it’s a buyer, seller, tenant or landlord, our team treats every client the same since it’s all about providing outstanding service.


As you will see below, Sharleen was more than happy with the service my team and I  provided when helping her find the “right” tenant for her home.


 

To Whom this May Concern,


I contacted Brian Kondo when I wanted to lease my property and I could not be any  happier.


I received multiple offers within 3 days of the property being listed on the MLS and more after 5 days.  

I was able to lease my property within two weeks of it initially being listed and that was  all due to the hard work of Brian Kondo and his team.


Brian and his team were efficient, thorough and personable. Brian continues to be my  realtor of choice and I am confident that he will be yours too!


Give him a call, you will NOT be disappointed.


Sharlene
