Mel Hirst

Why should I choose Mel Hirst for property management in Doubtless Bay?

Mel is the local property manager to contact when you want practical organisation and clear communication for your rental home. She brings previous property management experience in Hawke’s Bay and a customer service management background to Ray White Doubtless Bay. Her approach focuses on attention to detail and helping landlords and tenants feel informed and supported.

What should I discuss before renting out my property?

Start with the address, its condition and services, any existing tenancy and your plans. Ask Mel about the rental appraisal, preparation work and the proposed management agreement. Discuss the day-to-day contact, fees, approval limits and how inspection, maintenance and rent matters will be reported. Our services page and rent-ready guide help organise the meeting.

What makes the local property details important?

A coastal home’s maintenance needs, water supply and wastewater arrangements should be clear to both manager and tenant. Bring available reports, appliance instructions and information about supplied items. If the home is occupied, explain the current agreement and any matters needing attention. Use the switching guide when planning a handover from another manager.

How can tenants get useful help?

For an existing tenancy, use the manager and emergency contacts supplied with your agreement. Our tenant journey connects applications, moving in, repairs and moving out. You can request the latest Tenant Guide there; landlords and investors can request the Landlord and Investment Guides from the same property management team.
