Vacancy Rate
We take pride in our low vacancy rate. While the industry average for Adelaide Metro is around 1%, First Move Property Management maintains an impressive 0.48%, helping secure tenants for your investment more quickly and efficiently.
Routine Inspection Reports with Photos
Our inspection reports go beyond the standard. Each room is photographed with care, using optimal lighting and framing to highlight key features and capture every important detail. This personalized approach ensures your property is presented in the best possible light.

Coverage Across Adelaide
We manage properties across the entire Adelaide metropolitan area. No matter where your investment is located, you’ll have a dedicated property manager. Our team’s expertise spans all regions, giving you the confidence to invest anywhere in Adelaide with First Move Real Estate by your side.
Tenant Selection
Selecting the right tenant is one of the most important steps in property management. Our comprehensive application process includes detailed checks and important questions to prevent issues later. Landlords approve all applications, tenants are notified promptly, and deposits are requested within 24 hours of approval.
Monthly Statements
All rental income is paid into our trust account and disbursed to you at the end of the month—or twice monthly if preferred. We can also manage payments to third-party accounts on your behalf, including land tax, insurance premiums, strata levies, council rates, and SA Water invoices. Any maintenance or repair costs handled by us can also be conveniently deducted from your rental funds.
Arrears and arrears management
Tenancy agreements require rent to be paid in advance every two weeks. While the legal threshold allows a tenant to be 14 days behind, First Move takes a proactive approach. We follow up with tenants promptly and manage arrears within legal requirements, ensuring payments remain on track and your investment is protected.
Maintenance & Repairs
When a tenant signs a lease, they are instructed to contact our office for any maintenance requests. You will also be kept informed of any maintenance issues identified during routine inspections conducted by our Tenancy Inspection Officer.
Managing All Accounts
We ensure that all tradespeople we work with are fully licensed and insured. Additionally, we monitor all accounts and invoices from our service providers to ensure pricing remains fair and transparent, giving you peace of mind.
End of Financial Year
Each month, you will receive a fully itemized statement detailing your income and expenses. At the end of the financial year, we provide a comprehensive summary of all transactions, ensuring complete transparency and easy record-keeping for your investment.
Our clients are the driving force behind everything we do, inspiring us to excel in every aspect of our work. We aim to deliver the best outcomes for your property investments today, helping them grow into even greater opportunities for the future.
