At Nickolas Properties we are different to most real estate agents.
To enable us to achieve this, we have created four key areas within our Agency, each aligning their performance and interest with maximising your return and protecting your investment.

Rent Collection and Arrears Management
- Collection, receipting and remittance of monies collected to your nominated account by electronic funds transfer. We transfer funds into your account monthly and bi monthly, and provide you with prompt electronic statements.
- We have a zero tolerance rent arrears management, with a sophisticated system in place to minimise arrears, including phone, SMS, email, letters and personal contact. This assists in minimal, if any rent arrears
Rent Review
- Rent reviews are carried out on all properties at the expiration or renewal of a lease. Furthermore, all expired leases are reviewed every 6 months or on a case by case basis.
Did you know that according to BIS Shrapnel, your rent should have increased around 12% over the last 12 months, even greater in some Sydney locations? So if the rent you’re currently receiving hasn’t increased in the last 12 months, your property is probably being under rented, and you’re missing out on hundreds….even thousands of dollars per year.
Maintenance
- As your property managers, if any maintenance is required on your investment property, we will contact you within 24 hours, and upon instruction organise and coordinate all quotes and repairs. All invoices paid on your behalf will be detailed on your monthly property statement, with copies of all invoices attached.
Financial Reporting
Our accounts department is responsible for the comprehensive financial reporting to all Nickolas Properties clients.
- You will receive a detailed monthly statement, posted or emailed on the last day of each month.
- We guarantee all monies collected be deposited into your nominated account within 48 hours of month end close off date.
- Make all requested payments, such as Council rates, Strata Levies, Insurances etc, on your behalf, together with any maintenance invoices, and provide copies of same to you monthly.
- Provide an Annual Income and Expenditure Report, prepared on June 30, this report is fully consolidated with all tax invoices for costs incurred. This report will save you hundreds of dollars on accountancy fees each year, and is provided by Nickolas Properties free of charge.
