How to Appoint a New Managing Agent

Review Your Current Managing Agent Contract:

If there’s an existing managing agent, review the current contract to understand the termination clauses, notice periods, and any other relevant terms.

Provide written notice to the current managing agent, adhering to the notice period stipulated in the contract. This is typically 30 to 90 days before termination, depending on the agreement.

Research Potential Managing Agents:

Research and identify potential managing agents. Consider factors such as reputation, experience, services offered, fees, and expertise in managing Sectional Title properties.

Request and Compare Proposals:

Reach out to the identified managing agents and request proposals. Ask for detailed information about their services, fees, references, and any other relevant information.

Review Proposals:

Evaluate the proposals received from managing agents carefully. Compare their offerings, fees, terms, and reputation to make an informed decision.

Work with your chosen managing agent to draft a contract outlining the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Ensure that all parties understand and agree to the terms before signing.
