Property management from someone who owns rentals too.
Bistab manages rental homes across Auckland with the same care we'd want for our own — transparent fees, honest communication, and no call centre in between.
Free Rental Appraisal
Find out what your property should be earning. No obligation.
Thanks — that's with us. We'll be in touch within a business day.
Your appraisal back within one business day. Straight to us, not a call centre.
The questions every landlord asks, answered properly.
A large portfolio spread across a big team means your file gets picked up by whoever's free. At Bistab, the person who quotes your rental appraisal is the same person who answers your calls.
"Who's actually managing my property?"
One person, start to finish — the same one who quoted your appraisal answers your calls. No ticket numbers, no "your call is important to us," and every policy here has been tested on a real rental first, not written from a manual.
"What happens when something breaks?"
Years of maintaining our own rentals means an easy eye for what's a five-minute fix and what needs a tradesperson — so you're not paying for a call-out that didn't need one, and never a coordination markup on top.
"How do I know my money's safe?"
Client funds are held in a separate account, kept apart from Bistab's own, and every management agreement is written in plain English.
One published fee, not a moving target.
Fees scale down as your portfolio grows — the exact opposite of getting lost in a bigger book of clients.
Full management, from your first rental.
Building a portfolio? The rate drops as it grows.
For established investors and portfolio landlords.
Plus a one-off letting fee of 1 week's rent + GST when a new tenancy begins.
Only need a tenant found, or periodic inspections while you self-manage? We do those too.
From appraisal to keys in the door.
We keep the process the same whether it's your first rental or your sixth — a clear sequence, with you kept in the loop at every step.

A walkthrough, a market comparison, and an honest number in writing.
Marketing & screening
Professional listing, accompanied viewings, and rigorous credit and reference checks on shortlisted applicants.
Ongoing management
Rent collection, routine inspections, maintenance coordination, and a monthly owner statement.
A trades network that actually saves you money.
Years of maintaining our own rentals means an easy eye for what's a five-minute fix and what genuinely needs a tradesperson — so you're not paying a call-out fee for something that didn't need one in the first place.
When a job does need a professional, we bring in a network of trusted, vetted trades who turn jobs around quickly instead of adding you to the back of a queue — and we never add a coordination markup on top of their invoice, unlike a lot of property managers.
Prefer to use your own trusted tradesperson for something? That's completely fine — you're never locked into using ours.
