Rental agency

Just wondering if anyone knows how to go about finding out who manages a rental property so i can lay a complaint? As we have already spoken to the tenants twice about the issue, the second time we said we would complain to the agency if it didn't stop. Obviously they are not going to offer that information up now. So do I just start ringing agencys until the address matches with one or is there a search engine I can use ? I understand privacy ect but their behaviour is borderline dangerous and terribly rude and we quite rightly shouldn't have to keep putting up with it.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Can You Help?

There are still many buyers coming through Open Homes and we haven’t got all the houses needed.

I thought I’d give you a quick update on buyers I’m currently working with who are in a strong position to buy.

At this stage, they have not found a property to suit their needs and I thought you’d like to know just in case you might consider bringing your property to the market this Spring / Summer to take advantage of this level of activity.

Here’s a snapshot of what they are looking for:

Mr J: 3-4 Bed, at least 2 baths, in specific school zone of Rototuna. Preferably brick with 600m2 plus section.

Mr and Mrs S: A property with renovation potential in the following 3 suburbs: Hillcrest, Chedworth, Queenwood. Price-wise they are looking to invest between $600,000 and $900,000.

Mr and Mrs M: An older style house on large section, looking to do a development – investment project within a 5km range of the city.

If you or anyone you know has a property that meets these needs, I’d love to talk with you. If you would like to know what your property is worth call me for a free appraisal.

In the meantime, enjoy living in this great Region of ours!

Thanks for your time.

PS If you or any friends, family members or colleagues would like any advice on buying, selling or renting property I’d be happy to help.
