Top 5 reasons to hire a letting real estate agent

No matter where in the world you find yourself, letting out a property is no easy task. Knowledge of the market, localities and insider contacts don’t just appear overnight, but rather take years of interactions, trial and error and thinking on your feet. 

That is why the standard recommendation is to get a letting estate agent involved. 

Cyprus is no different, and at times this requirement is even more vital, especially if you are looking to manage your property from abroad. 

There are literally dozens of reasons to emphasise this point, however below we outline what we consider to be the top 5 reasons to hire QuickLets Cyprus as your trusted letting real estate agent for your property in Cyprus. 










 

Experience, and then some 

You could always try and go it alone and save a few euros along the way, but where do you start?

Real estate agents undergo rigorous training to educate them on local property laws, along with fostering an understanding of how the entire process works. By utilising an agent, you gain back days worth of fruitless scrambling for information and ensuring compliance from your end. Working as an agent is often very labour intensive, as it takes all the pressure off of the homeowner, and this helps grow a wealth of knowledge that can be utilised for each unique home letting requirement.

You may have purchased a property because it ticks all of the boxes for you, but how much do you really know about the area outside your four walls?

Experienced agents in the vicinity will have walked the beat for a long time before you got there, and so will know all the intricacies and have all the access to help let your Cyprus property swiftly, and safely. Knowledge of local market prices, access to vast databases of potential tenants, as well as identifying unique selling points that will make your property stand out from the rest is all in a day’s work for a letting agent in Cyprus. 





 

The devil in the detail 

Remember those school days, poring over volumes of text, hour upon hour of study, only to have to regurgitate information in the form of an exam or test? Well Letting your property in Cyprus will give you flashbacks to ink splattered hands and the creak of the desk as you shift uncomfortably filling in page after page. 

The vast amount of paperwork associated with letting a property is overwhelming. However, owing to the above mentioned knowledge and experience, what would take most people potentially days of head scratching and google research can be completed swiftly and correctly by letting agents.

You may have the best property to let in Cyprus, but without tenants, it’s just another empty property swallowing hard earned euros month after month. 

An experienced Quicklets letting agent will not only have access to lists of property seekers, but also know exactly what it is that they are looking for. This means finding an easy match for your rental property in Cyprus, and significantly speeding up the process for you as the owner. 

But the help doesn’t stop there, as letting agents then go on to assist in the monthly management of the property itself, meaning that they ensure prompt rent payments, communicate with tenants regarding maintenance and agreements, and start identifying new tenants when a rental agreement is nearing conclusion. This ensures a smooth transition and no months with lost occupancy or payment. Now it’s hard to put a price on that sort of peace of mind!
