A fair price for Property Management

Instead of charging you a fixed fee or percentage of the rent, we’ve purposely structured our fees so we’re not charging you for any extra services – until you actually need to use them.

And that almost always works out cheaper for you.

We charge a basic rate of $10 per week, per property, for core property management services like collecting the rent, managing arrears, and providing access to our best-in-class property management platform.

We think you could save a lot when you only pay for what you use.

KITT Testimonials

Griffin Sharma

KITT changed my life for the better – it just took a lot of pain away from the day-to-day management of my property. One thing that sold me on the idea of KITT was the connection with people. From the initial conversations, the communication was amazing.

If you’re considering moving to KITT, I’d say it’s a no-brainer. It’s a lovely team to work with, they’ve got the right tools, they’ve got the knowledge, communication is just seamless, and you’ve got great value for your money. I didn’t have a very good experience with the other property companies I’ve dealt with, KITT certainly changed that.

Barry McLAllEn

The grudge I’ve got with property managers is that you pay a percentage of the rent – that’s a lot, it’s up to 10%. KITT’s pricing system is a lot fairer. The main differences with KITT are the pricing, the communication which is great, and the software that goes with – it’s very helpful and improving all the time, and puts all your documents in one place.

I’d really like to see KITT give standard property managers in New Zealand a shake up, because they’re really due for it!

"Not only are the fees considerably fairer; the service is considerably superior."

Since switching my property manager over to KITT Property Management, I feel like a heavy weight has been taken off my shoulders. Previously I was with another property manager (Harcourts) and the lack of communication regarding urgent repairs that needed to be carried out on the property was frustrating and embarrassing. (For example I received a message saying there was an urgent problem with the sewage on a Friday afternoon and couldn’t get hold of my property manager all weekend). And the logistics were a nightmare (for example at one stage they lost the key to my rental property).

In comparison the experience that I have had with KITT Property management has been a joy. Not only are the fees considerably fairer; the service is considerably superior. Amanda is trustworthy and reliable and communicative. With KITT I feel like they value me as a customer; rather than seeing the house as another property. I relied on my previous property manager to collect the rent.

This year I am able to confidently take a step back; knowing that KITT will do a good job managing any repairs that need to be done as well.

Owner

"I now have no problems and my tenant has told me the same"

I am pleased that I joined up with KITT Property Management. After bad experiences with 2 other property management firms, I am pleased to say that I now have no problems and my tenant has told me the same. It is so nice to have that go between person, who seems to have the right balance between keeping me happy with a no problem rental (at I might add an extremely reasonable price), and a nice approachable demeanour with the tenant. Amanda was extremely nice to me at the start as I was useless and a bit scared of computers. She nursed me through the signing up palaver and we were away!

Originally joining KITT in 2017 as an advisor and angel investor, James helped the team understand the needs of a property investor for the software being built at the time. When KITT pivoted to being a full-service property management company, he came on board as a business advisor and CMO, and eventually stepped into the CEO seat. Having intimate knowledge of the brand, process, customers, and industry so well, coupled with his relevant experience, made the transition a no-brainer, and he’s been KITT’s fearless leader ever since.
