Short-term Property Management
Our Short-term Property Management program allows you to earn more from your property by renting it out on the higher yielding, short-term `flexible` tenant market. Renting out your property in this way means that monthly rents can be increased to account for the greater convenience you are now offering tenants. An additional benefit for owners is that should you wish to make use of the property yourself, this can be arranged at reasonable short-notice as there are no long-term tenants who are in place.
Tenant Satisfaction
An important part of growing your business and having your apartment stand out in the market place is tenant satisfaction. User-reviews, feedback and word-of-mouth all help increase the likelihood of new tenants choosing you above your neighbors. We work hard to deliver high-tenant satisfaction, and we have been honored to receive some great testimonials.
Fee Structure
Property Management Inc. works on a rental revenue sharing model. This removes any monthly burden from your side, and incentivizes us to ensure that your occupancy rate and income remains high. For more details on the Fee Structure, get in touch with a Property Management Inc. representative.
Property Management Process
The complete process that a homeowner goes through when renting out a property in Goa - This applies to both domestic and foreign residents, in both, a single apartment, commercial space or a villa.
1. Consultation
The starting point is a discussion about your property. Find out what is happening in the local market, how best to position your property and if you can earn the type of returns you expect through either long-term or short-term rental.
2. Market Appraisal
Determining the appropriate rental level for your property. Property Management Inc. has found homes for tenants, both within Goa and overseas. In consultation with our leasing team, your property manager will conduct a comprehensive market appraisal and propose the optimal rental value for your property. Additionally, your property may benefit from renovations or improvements to maximize its rental potential. Your property manager will make recommendations and organize quotations. Should you decide to proceed, we will engage and supervise contractors for the improvements.
3. Property Marketing
Marketing your property through multiple channels. In addition to our own top-ranked website, Property Management Inc. markets your property in a variety of ways including to our existing database of residents in Goa and on the biggest real estate websites in India. We also ensure your property is presented in the best possible way through photography, graphic floor plans and local area information.
4. Property Viewings
Your property manager will coordinate the property viewings/prospective tenant visits, ensuring that your property is presented in the best possible way to prospective tenants. Vacant properties require attention and we make sure to ventilate the property, run the taps and flush the toilets each viewing to keep the property in good condition.
5. Negotiation and Applicant Screening
Your property manager works to achieve the best possible outcome for you & negotiate the best deal possible. We know that it is important to achieve a high rental return while taking the least amount of tenant related risk as possible. To reduce owners risk we;
- Ensure that the tenancy agreement is structured in the owners interest
- Perform a stringent check on potential tenants and their employers
6. Contract Execution

7. Tenant Support
As your Property Manager, we:
- Conduct a pre-tenancy inspection of the property. We do a simple cleaning, replace broken light bulbs, etc. and arrange for any repairs which may be required.
- Liaise with service providers to restart service for internet, cable television and other utilities.
- On the move in day, verify with the tenant, the current condition of the property (damage check), hand over the keys and explain how to use the property and facilities.
We understand that there is a significant benefit to a long-term relationship and we work to maintain an ongoing relationship with our tenants to make sure that they are happy and that every expectation they have of the property is fully met within the stature of the tenancy agreement.
8. Owner Representation
As your Property Manager we take responsibility to react to any issues which may arise related to your property. Our primary objective is to represent the owners' interest in all matters related to the property. This may include things like collection for late or unpaid rent, invoicing of parties for repair fees and public utility fees which should be borne by the tenant, safe keeping and management of the property’s spare keys & the retaining and supervision of contractors to make repairs and do maintenance when required.
9. Owner Reporting
Provide assistance for accounting for tax and financial reporting to the owner. To maximise the cash flow and ensure owners have up-to-date performance reports, we have a team dedicated to completing and sharing Property Management account statements from time to time. We will also provide additional information if something is affecting the market or the value of your property on the Goa rental market.
10. Tenant Exit
Handle the departure of tenants and restore the property to its original condition. When a tenant vacates a property, your property manager will;
- Conduct move-out inspection. At the time of move-out we accept return of the keys and confirm with the tenant the condition of the property and areas that will require restoration or repair work.
- Organize repairs and restoration work. Once the property is vacant we will arrange for contractors to do any repairs and restoration work required to return the property to original condition.
The property is ready for another tenant and so the property management cycle starts again.
