Professionalism in the Marbella rentals market
Though it is a highly dynamic and fast-growing segment of the overall property industry, the rental market in the Marbella area lags somewhat behind the sales sector in terms of consistent levels of professionalism, ethics and efficiency. It is within this environment that well-respected specialist companies with an established reputation for quality really stand out.
For homeowners and rental clients alike, peace of mind is of vital importance. This is especially the case if you’re not local to the area, don’t speak the language and/or are not familiar with all the legal and operational requirements. All the more reason then, to work with experienced people who can refer to a real track record of service and success.
Such companies stand out from opportunists out to make quick money, real estate agents dedicated to sales who grudgingly do rentals as an afterthought, and one-man operations that simply don’t have the infrastructure and resources required to cope with the rather specialist demands of this fast-moving segment of the property market.
Rentals as a specialisation
It takes a specialist company dedicated to holiday and long-term rentals to have the set-up, know-how and seriousness required to provide the kind of service demanded by homeowner and renting tenant or guest alike. For make no mistake, rentals is a pure service industry – at the point where real estate and hospitality meet.
Having experience in both these fields is of great value and puts the company in question in a prime position when it comes to satisfying the needs of two sets of clients – property owners wishing to rent out their holiday and/or investment homes, and their rental guests. Real estate and marketing skills come to the fore in advising homeowners on how best to present and prepare their property, attract a good clientele through efficient marketing and effective vetting, and manage the entire rental process on behalf of the owner in a transparent and efficient way. It shows in the marketing material, presentation, staff, photography, marketing channels and international networks of clients and collaborators.
In practice, this applies to everything from knowing how to select and price rental properties, provide professional photography, marketing material, advertising and marketing channels, as well as full administrative, legal and accounts support – not to mention the solid name of a well-respected company.
On the other hand, the personable touch, availability to guests, efficient flexibility and service-oriented approach that gives guests a five-star service largely draws from experience in hospitality and tourism, and it is the coming together of all the above elements that makes Esenzia a leading expert in the rentals market of Marbella and the Costa del Sol – providing also complementary services such as property management, concierge, home décor and renovation work, as well as on-site staffing of receptions, clubhouses and other resort facilities.
