Great communication and fast turn around. . Bree and the team are always happy to help. They made the process quick, simple and seamless. We told them what we needed in a house and they gave us options and we had an approval fast. Signing documents and how to make payments and when was clear. They were also happy to answer any questions or concerns we had.
They are good at onboarding, but as soon as you are a tenant the problems start. Requests for maintenance take weeks (if they get processed at all) and they had the nerve to offer money off our rent if we gave them a 5 star review on RateMyAgent. This seems unethical. Two stars for processing the rental application at the beginning. Everything since then has been lacklustre at best.
First time using smart rentals hadn’t had a good experience using a few other rental agencies in Townsville I was treated with respect from the very attentive property manager Taylah from smart rentals she made the entire process very easy and simple for me as a new client and got me into a new rental thank you very much for your honesty and integrity it stoped me from being homeless
Amazing Agents . I rented a property that was managed by the team at Smart Rentals for over 2 years and in that period all staff were excellent in communication, honest and very easy to deal with . Jean and her staff are all highly recommended by myself
Service at its absolute greatest! After three years as a tenant I can honestly say this was one of the smoothest and most pleasant renting experiences I’ve had. The landlord and property managers are genuinely caring and go above and beyond. The rental team is consistently present and easy to deal with whenever anything came up. Maintenance was always handled quickly. Issues were sorted fast and without any fuss, that made a huge difference day to day. You always felt like someone actually had your back. The whole tenancy was easy going from start to finish. No hiccups Clear communication and a real sense that they looked out for their tenants as people. Absolutely brilliant experience and I’d happily rent through them again without hesitation.
I’ve been with Smart Rental for the past two months and the experience has been excellent so far. I’ve been working closely with Jade, my property manager, and she has been very professional, proficient, and reliable throughout the process. Everything has been kept on track with a very seamless management transition. Communication is prompt — Jade responds quickly and is proactive in addressing matters before they become issues. She also coordinates very well with the current tenants and keeps me updated, which gives me real peace of mind as a landlord. Overall, Smart Rental has made the property management process smooth and stress-free. I’m very happy with the service and would definitely recommend them to other property owners.
I have recently moved into a rental property and Smart Rentals Townsville have been wonderful to deal with every step of the way. The property itself is for sale, and even then the property manager has been very understanding of making sure inspections and necessary steps for the sale are worked around my schedule. I could not ask for a better agency to rent through!
