What we do
Everything that protecting your investment actually takes
No gimmicks, straight-talking property management across the Bay of Plenty. Here is the heart of it.
Rents checked daily, paid in advance
We watch your rent every day and stay on top of arrears before they become a problem. You get a clear statement each month and your money on time.
Inspections and Healthy Homes
Regular inspections with photo reports, maintenance coordinated for you, and Healthy Homes compliance kept current so you are never caught out.
Why SmartRent
The owner who stays, not the manager who moves on
The big agencies do good work, but their model puts your property in a queue and your manager on a roster. SmartRent is built the other way around.
The big franchise model
- Your manager is one of many, and in this industry they often move on within a couple of years
- Your property competes for attention inside a large portfolio
- Fees and process are usually hidden behind "contact us"
- You are a number in a system someone else designed
SmartRent The boutique way
- You deal directly with Ora, the owner, every single time
- A deliberately small portfolio, so every property gets real attention
- Straight answers on fees, in writing, before anything is agreed
- Honesty, integrity and quality of service, the way it should be
Protecting your biggest asset
Your investment, looked after like it is our own
Across Tauranga and the Bay of Plenty. Owner-led and personal, with a team that has your back.

I learned how the big agencies work, then built something more personal
I spent years inside the larger Bay of Plenty agencies before starting SmartRent. I saw what good management looks like, and I saw where owners and tenants get lost in the volume. So I built a boutique service where you are never just another file.
