Having a supportive real estate agent is crucial to living in a clean house and garden that’s safe and easy to manage. A supportive real estate agent:
- Will organise a locksmith to change your locks if your locks are rusted and corroded from salty sea air.
- Will organise professionals to replace literally rotted wooden cabinets with new and clean cabinets
- Will organise a professional to fix a fallen or broken garden door outdoors
- Will allow you to pay private costs for a landscape gardener to clean your garden and give advice on permanently eliminating weeds and pruning fast growing plants. This is a huge benefit because not all real estate agents allow you to pay private costs for home and garden repairs if they can’t afford to pay for repairs.
- Will organise or allow you to organise pest control to remove rats and other pests (like possums) from your roof. Possums are cute but they’re also very loud on your roof.
- Will organise an appliance professional or let you pay a professional to fix your appliances (washing machine, fridge, freezer etc).
- Will organise an electrician to fix electric black outs in your home promptly.
- Will give you great advice on how to remove mould from walls naturally.
- Will let you know if floor tiles cracked by hot weather can be replaced and fixed or not.
- Will quickly send electricians to fix and replace damaged wires for ceiling lights, fix damaged cables for telephone line etc. if you replace an old lightbulb with a new lightbulb and the lights don’t work, you’ll need an electrician to fix the hidden damaged electric light wires so your lights will work.
- Will give you a heater to use or tell you where to buy local efficient heaters.
- Will let you know which plants are illegal to grow (illegal weeds or vines that damage other plants or grow too quickly.
Will send a professional to replace chipped or cracked shower soap holder and jammed windows with broken fly screens.
- Will send out an electrician to fix your shower water access, and electric power board so that your powerboats doesn’t short out and make shower water cold daily.
- Will pay for the costs of replacing an oven damaged by a previous tenant, or allow you to pay for this. This is a benefit as not all real estate agents will let you pay to have a severely damaged oven replaced with a safer model.
A powerboard or switchboard that shorts out (turns off automatically due to problems with electric voltage) daily isn’t normal, is unsafe and can lead to fires if it isn’t fixed soon enough - see electrician websites for more information.
- Will allow you to pay for the installation of a permanent reverse cycle air conditioner. This allows you to have your home cooked or warmed quickly, which is a huge help as old homes have poor insulation. Homes with poor insulation are hot in summer and cold in winter, which makes it easier for people to get sick and worsens sleep. A real estate agent who allows you to install a permanent air conditioner is a great support as there are real estate agents who don’t allow you to pay to have an air conditioner installed.
- Will organise and pay for quick and efficient professional pest removal (removing cockroaches, rats, bats, birds, other insects) and squalor cleaning of a house that’s in squalor (mould, blood stains, human or animal waste, non toxic and toxic chemical garbage) due to messes caused by previous tenants. (This last point doesn’t apply to the house I live in, but I know people who have experienced this). A real estate agent who organises pest control and squalor cleans (or allows you to organise this) is a great find because not all real estate agents will organise pest control or squalor cleans even when necessary. If the real estate agent won’t organise or let you organise pest control or squalor cleaning when needed, you’ll need to move house, contact the tenancy tribunal and your local council for advice.
I’m extremely grateful and appreciative of all the advice, help and support my real estate has given to me for managing the rental home and garden I live in. 💕❤️👍
