Service
Listing and Leasing for Property Managers and Landlords
A full listing engagement that carries a vacant unit from pricing and presentation through marketing, showings and applicant screening to a signed lease, with the brokerage acting for you throughout.
A unit that sits empty is rarely an exposure problem. More often the listing behind it has never been thought through. The rent sits slightly out of step with the street, the description leaves out the two details renters ask about first, or the household the unit actually suits has never been described in plain terms. Our leasing service begins there, with a listing consultation that puts the whole picture on paper, including a recommended rent, before anything is marketed.
From that plan we prepare the presentation of the unit, take it to market and handle every enquiry that comes back. We run the showings, screen applicants against a standard we agree with you in advance, and present the ones worth your time with the checks already gathered. When you choose an applicant we prepare, present and negotiate the lease, then stay with the file through signing and the move-in date. We act for landlords and property managers across Toronto, Mississauga, Hamilton, Ottawa, Kitchener-Waterloo and the smaller Ontario centres in between.
Who this is for
Property managers, landlords and building owners in Ontario looking after one unit or a small handful, who would rather begin a vacancy with a priced, prepared listing than with a stream of enquiries that go nowhere.
What you receive
A Written Listing Plan
A short document capturing the unit, the rent we recommend and what it includes, the availability date and the household the property realistically suits. It becomes the reference point for every decision that follows.
Listing Copy and Presentation
We write how the unit reads in words and photographs, and close the specific gaps first. Renters decide on details, and the details are usually the part left out.
An Agreed Screening Standard
The checks and questions applied to every applicant, covering timing, occupancy, employment and references, so that nothing important surfaces for the first time after a lease is signed.
Screened Applicants Presented
Interested tenants come to us first. You receive a considered recommendation with the screening already done, rather than a phone number and a name.
Time Back in Your Week
We take the enquiries, the showings and the paperwork, which is the part of a vacancy that quietly consumes the most hours and produces the least.
A Close-Out Conversation
Once the lease is signed we talk through what drew interest, what did not and what we would adjust for the next unit you bring to us.
How the engagement runs
-
Listing Consultation
We sit down with you, in person or by call, and go through the unit, the rent, the timing and the kind of tenancy you are hoping to set up. Roughly an hour, and it does most of the work for everything after it.
-
Pricing and Listing Agreement
We recommend a rent, agree the marketing plan and put the listing agreement in front of you. Nothing is advertised until you have approved the rent and the way the unit is presented.
-
Marketing and Showings
The unit goes to market. We take the enquiries, run the showings and screen applicants against the agreed standard. You get a regular update rather than a stack of forwarded messages.
-
Offer, Lease and Follow-Up
We present each offer with its terms, negotiate on your behalf and prepare the lease for signature. A follow-up call once the tenant has moved in closes out the engagement.
What good looks like
- A unit priced against the street and described in one clear paragraph, which makes every conversation about it shorter and more honest.
- A short, screened set of applicants instead of a long list of enquiries you have to sort through yourself.
- A signed lease and a repeatable approach you can reuse the next time a unit in your portfolio comes free.
Engagement format
Typically two to three weeks, with the consultation, the recommended rent and the listing agreement in the first week, then marketing through to a signed lease.
