Ōmokoroa Property Management
Having moved down to “paradise” from the “big smoke” in 2019, Mary-Anne Lenny was approached by a friend to manage their property in the Bay of Plenty. She then saw the opportunity to start a new property management company that was locally-based.
With more than 20 years working in real estate, the last 11 years were spent with a top real estate company in Auckland, as both the company accountant and manager of the property management division.
Mary-Anne and her husband Andrew have been experienced property investors since early 2000. They were educated through numerous property investing courses, after which they purchased their first of many rental properties, and still retain some.
Before taking up her role in the Auckland real estate office, Mary-Anne presented property seminars around New Zealand and overseas. Trips to the UK followed, where she conducted seminars promoting investment property in New Zealand.
Andrew operated his own mechanical repair business, specialising in diesels. But as years have advanced, he moved into building maintenance, which is an excellent asset for organising the necessary repairs to your property.
“Your rents are managed by professional software and reconciled daily. We both understand the importance of having a strict arrears policy in place, as often landlords have funding of mort
gages and or repairs. And of course, it is a tenant’s responsibility to pay their rent on time,” says Mary-Anne.
“We aim for integrity, trust and excellent results, and have an absolute commitment to the highest standards of business ethics and a tradition of putting your needs before our own. We manage your property as if it were our own; your confidence and peace of mind is our priority.
“We regularly attend training seminars and conferences to ensure we are constantly updated regarding changes affecting our sector of the industry. As per our mission statement, we have an absolute commitment to the highest standards of business ethics,” she says.
Both Mary-Anne and Andrew have a real passion for the industry; simply, they “walk the talk.”
