What we do here
Our services in New Zealand
Serviced accommodation management
We run the property as a premium short let -- listing, pricing, guests, cleaning and reporting.
Guaranteed rent
A fixed monthly figure whether the property is occupied or not, with the void risk on us.
Sell a property that needs work
Tired, unmodernised or inherited property bought as it stands, with no agent fees.
Property investment and sourcing
Off-market stock that needs work, matched to budget, area and appetite for works.

The commercial mechanics
Channel mix affects price as much as season does. The same night can be worth different amounts depending on who is booking it and what that channel charges.

What to expect once it starts
Guest messages get answered quickly because response time affects placement on most channels. It is a ranking factor, not just good manners.

Where this fits, and where it doesn't
The owners who get most from it are the ones who tell us their constraints early: dates they need, works they will not fund, tenants they will not take. Constraints are easy to design around and awkward to discover.

Certificates, licensing and insurance
Certificates are held centrally and renewed before expiry rather than after a reminder from somebody else.

Things we don't do
We do not quote a figure before somebody has looked at the property. A number produced from a postcode is a marketing device, not an appraisal.

The first step
An owner with several properties should say so early — it usually simplifies things rather than complicating them.

Your Questions
What New Zealand landlords ask us.
Still not sure? Ask us about your property and we'll answer for your specific situation.
What does Maine Property Solutions actually do day to day?
Pricing and channel management, guest communication from enquiry to checkout, cleaning and linen scheduling, maintenance triage, and monthly reporting. The parts that eat a landlord's evenings are the parts we take.
Who deals with problem guests in New Zealand?
We do. Guests are vetted before booking, house rules are set out in writing, and we handle any issue directly. You are not the phone number on the listing.
Can I still use the property myself?
Yes. Owner blocks go in the calendar and we work around them. Tell us early for peak dates so we are not turning away bookings we have already priced.
What are the fees?
Fully managed starts from 12% of booking income. Guaranteed rent is a fixed monthly figure instead. Which one is better for a given New Zealand property depends on the property, and we will say if neither is worth doing.
