Real Estate Agent

The outcome of your property sale is most likely going to determine what lays ahead for you financially, whether it be to upsize, clear debt, downsize, enter retirement or pursuing another financial strategy. In all cases, you will be wanting the best outcome for your next stage in life.
For these simple reasons, and a good many more reasons, you should absolutely engage an agent to sell your property. They are experienced, have access to a network of buyers agents, buyers, other agents who may have buyers looking for your type of property and understand the market.

Real Estate Property Management
With regard to property management agents (PM), the whole suite of reasons above apply to partnering with a good PM.
You want a property manager who is going to treat your investment like they would treat their own home. You want a good management rate but if a low management rate is aligned with the level of service, then it will not be ideal for your investment property.
A PM should be looking at the market, providing advice on when rental fees should be increased. Thorough property inspections with action plans for remedies or improvements should always be detailed so you understand what issues may be presenting, resulting in your investment in the future.
A good PM should be able to guide an investor with how to handle tenancy agreements for renewals, roll over agreements (month to month) and vacancy rates should the property become vacant.
Generally, it’s better to have a property tenanted for $10 less a week if needed due to the market than the property sitting vacant for 6 months with nil income.
