Rental news from the university town of Potchefstroom

RENT THROUGH SEEFF 

Potchefstroom has a very dynamic rental market, due to the large population of students, young faculty and early-career professionals. Whether you are a prospective tenant who needs a reasonably-priced property to make your home for a few years, or an investor who needs to secure reliable and responsible tenants, the only way to go is with a trusted agent.

 

SAFETY AND QUALITY 

Globally, every city or town with an active rental market struggles with the same problem of unscrupulous operators using the high demand to take advantage of potential tenants. For a parent sending their child to university a distance from home, safety is a major concern, as is the reliability of a landlord and the quality of maintenance on the property. Seeff has a long-standing association with top developers and landlords in the area and will safely guide the potential tenant to only those properties that meet these exacting criteria.

 

INVESTMENT 

Being a dominant player in the local property market allows Seeff the opportunity to work with the most reputable developers, and to tap into a deep database of experience on rental demand and pricing trends. The agent at Seeff will accurately share with the potential investor what type of property is in highest demand, the rental income stream that may reasonably be predicted, and the often overlooked costs of levies, rates, vacancy and maintenance that could otherwise throw the investment projections off kilter.

 

SEEFF & RED RABBIT 

Seeff uses the innovative Red Rabbit App to manage property inspections and maintenance tasks. Supported on IOS & Android, this App allows for the re-use of inspection data that is unchanged, saving hours when it's most needed. The App allows for concise and clear capturing of defects with its unique condition toggle system minimising the room for subjectivity. Once uploaded, users can access the powerful online and PDF reporting capabilities to generate professional, white labeled reports or to see inspections side by side to determine damage liability, or share inspections securely. 

 

BRAND EQUITY 

With Seeff being one of the oldest and most reputable national networks of realtors, parents of prospective students and new residents all know and trust the Seeff brand. It is therefore not unlikely that their first stop for help in finding a place in Potchefstroom, still new to them, will be at the trusted red and blue sign of the local Seeff office.
