Hamilton, Waikato-based Waikato Real Estate operates in Real Estate. It is privately held, and its site is wre.co.nz. It holds one address on record, all in New Zealand. Headcount on record is 16. Its work is tagged property management, customer service and rental properties. It is listed alongside eight similar brands, mostly in Real Estate.
Founded in 1985 and managing over 1,300 properties in the greater Hamilton area, Waikato Real Estate is a family-run business with several points of difference.
Notably, the property management team at Waikato Real Estate have skin in the game.
The management team and property managers are property investors themselves, some are even tenants, which means they understand the challenges of being a property investor - from every point of view.
Michelle Pearson, Business Development Manager, says the team are here to "help investors through their property investing journey and grow their portfolio".
To that end, they regularly hold exclusive investor events for their clients, hosting bank economists, developers, surveyors, accountant, mortgage brokers - all in the name of upskilling and educating their clients.
Customer service is the cornerstone of their business and they have won national awards for it.
Customer churn is a fraction of the industry average, and Waikato Real Estate’s 4.5-star Google rating (from 200+ reviews) confirms that this is a truly customer focused business.
The property management team have won several national industry awards over the years, notably LPMA Property Management Company of the Year in 2020, where they competed against 300+ property management businesses across NZ, Australia and the USA to take out the coveted prize.
Significantly, they are the only Hamilton-based Property Management business to make it to the finalist stage at the Westpac Waikato Business Awards. This was for Excellence in Service.
Their ‘all-inclusive’ management fee is 8.25% (+GST). Crucially, ‘all-inclusive’ means they do not charge for things like inspections, marketing, or for coordinating repairs and maintenance.
