I was with my previous property manager for just a year and a half.

Not long, really. But in that short time, the damage—both financial and personal—was done.

Like most people, I was busy juggling work and family life, and I thought no news was good news. The occasional rent payment notification came through, and there were no major red flags. I assumed the property was being looked after.

It wasn’t.

There had only been one inspection—the initial ingoing report. No routine checks. No photos. No communication unless something went wrong.

Meanwhile, costs were quietly building up. Minor issues became bigger problems. The yard was overgrown. Internal damage was left un-repaired. The neighbour was raising concerns about noise and tenant behaviour—something I was never even told about.

If we ever wanted to move back into that property, we’d be walking into a situation that would make that near impossible.

The wake-up call hit hard. I’d been complacent, thinking the basics were being taken care of. But a passive property manager had left me exposed and stressed—and my investment vulnerable.

When a friend suggested MOVABLE, I hesitated. I assumed switching would be difficult, awkward, time-consuming.

I couldn’t have been more wrong.

All I had to do was sign a management agreement. That’s it!

MOVABLE handled everything else—from notifying the other agency to taking over communication and inspections. No confrontation. No admin headaches.

Since making the move, I’ve been blown away. I get regular updates, inspection reports with clear photos, and real conversations about how to protect and grow the value of my investment. The tenant is happier, too—and so am I.

If you’re a landlord and even slightly unsure about your current property manager, don’t wait like I did. Eighteen months was all it took for things to unravel.

I only wish I did it sooner!
