Meet Our Property Management Team

Meet the Ray White Invercargill property management team. Our local team helps rental owners across Invercargill and wider Southland understand the practical steps involved in appraisals, tenant changes, maintenance and day-to-day management.

Every rental is different. Tell us about the property, your priorities and the support you need, and we can help you decide what to do next. An initial conversation is not a rent guarantee or investment forecast; any appraisal depends on the property and current market evidence.

Meet your local property managers

How we can help rental owners

Start with the question you need answered. Owners can discuss likely rent, preparing a property for tenants, changing managers, maintenance communication, inspection reporting and the information needed for a smooth tenancy. The service and responsibilities will depend on your written management agreement.

Before appointing a manager, ask about fees, services, communication, owner reporting, inspection arrangements, maintenance approvals and notice periods. Make sure the agreement explains how urgent work is handled and which decisions remain yours. Keep insurance, financial and tenancy records together, and check current official guidance if you need help understanding your obligations.

Contact the Invercargill team

For a property management enquiry, tell us the property address, its bedroom and bathroom count, current occupancy, any known maintenance and what support you are looking for. We will direct your enquiry to the appropriate team member.

Call Ray White Invercargill on 03 218 6117 or email rentals.invercargill.nz@raywhite.com. We are at 33 Arena Avenue, Invercargill. You can also request a rental appraisal, read our property management guide or browse all landlord resources.

Prepare for a rental appraisal

To make an appraisal conversation useful, gather the property address, bedroom and bathroom count, parking, heating, outdoor space and any recent improvements. Note the current tenancy status, known maintenance, insurance requirements and any work you are considering. Photographs or a short property walkthrough can help the discussion, but the final view will depend on the home’s condition, comparable rental evidence and current tenant demand. An indicative appraisal is a starting point, not a guaranteed rent or a promise of occupancy.

What to expect from ongoing management

Before a management agreement starts, clarify how enquiries will be answered, how rent and owner statements are handled, how inspections are arranged, and what approvals are required for maintenance. Ask how urgent repairs are triaged, who will contact you, how contractor costs are authorised and what records you will receive. Agree communication preferences and escalation steps in writing. The manager’s services, fees and obligations are set by the agreement and current tenancy requirements.

Owners remain responsible for understanding their own insurance, tax and legal position. Keep copies of agreements, statements, invoices, inspection records and maintenance decisions. For specific legal or tax advice, use a qualified adviser; for current tenancy guidance, check the official Tenancy Services information.

Choose the next practical step

If you are comparing managers, prepare the questions that matter most to you: how you will be kept informed, what is included in the fee, who handles day-to-day decisions and how a planned handover works. If you already have a manager, check your agreement and notice period before requesting a transfer.

Contact our Invercargill team with the property details and the outcome you want. We can explain the appraisal process, discuss the information needed and direct you to the right service.
