OUR STORY

KPMCo was founded by Ilan Krost, a property professional and seasoned sales maestro. Ilan identified a gap in the market after having a bad experience with the management of his own investment property. He established KPMCo with the aim of providing unparalleled levels of service and professionalism that he would expect to receive with his own property. 

Passionate about the real estate sector, Ilan has spent the last several years specializing in the sales and rentals of both Residential, Industrial and Commercial properties across Gauteng. Prior to this, he spent a decade providing ICT services to clients for their Residential & Commercial Property Portfolios. Through the combined use of technology and a hands-on approach, he aims to streamline the property management process.

“Service You Deserve. People You Trust.”

SERVICES

Apart from helping you realise your real estate goals, KPMCo will give you much-needed peace of mind when it comes to the management of your property. We take care of everything; from finding the right tenants, to rent collection and maintenance management.

You can be rest assured that we’ll treat your property as if it were our own. We set ourselves apart by being extremely hands-on, undertaking regular site visits and drawing up monthly operations reports. At the same time, our in-house collections team keeps arrears at a minimum.

WHAT WE DO

Tenant

Placement 

We carefully select tenants for your property. Our team follows a strict vetting process, ensuring we place tenants with good references, credit history, and verified income. We also ensure we’re in constant contact with tenants, allowing us to identify issues as they arise and not when they become a problem.

Rental Property Management

KPMCo removes the stress associated with the property management process by providing an end-to-end service. Sit back, relax and receive inflation-proof passive income, while we manage your tenants and maintain your investment or home. In short, you will preserve your wealth and at the same time, secure your investment with ease.

“Optimize Profits & Minimise Worries!”

HOW WE DO IT

Market Evaluations

Your dedicated Property Manager will carry out a full and comprehensive Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). A professionally researched CMA is an essential part of a marketing plan and will highlight what similar properties in the suburb are being rented for. Using the CMA as a guide, your property manager will work with you to decide what rental to charge for your property based on current market conditions and trends. This is an invaluable service as over or under pricing your rental can be a costly exercise. If you overprice your property, you run the risk of your property sitting empty, and if you under-price your property, you may sign on a tenant for too little.

Marketing your property

Don’t be fooled, not all advertising is right for all properties. At KPMCo, we don’t adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to our marketing, rather offering a tailored marketing service based around your property and its unique selling points. Based on your property, we will advise you on the right channels to market your property. Professional photography is also key when marketing any property, and can make the difference when competing in a tight market for the best tenants and the best rental price.

At KPMCo, we offer a professional photography service at a small extra fee to ensure our clients receive the best possible service.

Finding the right tenants

Meeting, interviewing and vetting tenants is more complex and time-consuming than it may look. KPMCo will carry out credit checks, past landlord references, income verification and more, to ensure the right tenant is placed in your home or investment.

The importance of finding and selecting the right tenants cannot be overstated. The right tenants pay on time, minimize wear and tear, and care for the property as if it were their own.

We use TPN credit bureau who are the only credit bureau globally to specialise in vetting tenants for rental properties. We’ll also contact the potential tenant’s employer as well as their most recent landlords to check and verify all information supplied.

Property viewings

Scheduling viewings, coordinating with tenants, and hosting showings, can be time-consuming and inconvenient.

The KPMCo team will manage and execute this process from start to finish in a timely manner, to ensure your property is rented as quickly as possible to the right tenants.

The property manager will liaise with all potential tenants on your behalf and will conduct in-person interviews with potential applicants.

“Saving you precious time!”

Legal lease agreements

With your tenant selected and vetted, KPMCo will provide a solid contract that is up-to-date with the constantly changing Residential Housing Act. We ensure contracts are created to protect and facilitate your needs. Your property manager will then ensure contracts are signed and filed, and appropriate security deposits are collected and held in registered Trust Accounts prior to anyone moving into a property.

Deposit collection

We will collect the deposit from the tenant and place it in an allocated interest-bearing account for the duration of the lease.

Rent collection

Your property manager will collect rent from tenants and deposit the net rental income directly to your bank account, net of fees and expenses.

Move-in / out inspection

A move-in checklist provides a convenient and organised way for you to keep track of your rental property’s condition and check for damage beyond normal wear and tear. Having a rental walkthrough checklist ready, can help streamline the transition in and out of a rental property and make it less stressful for both the landlord and tenant. Your dedicated KPMCo Property Manager will personally conduct all inspections to ensure the process is seamless and stress-free.

24-hour property maintenance and tenant support

When your tenants call, we’ll answer. Our team is available 24/7. So no matter the time of day or night, our team of trusted contractors are on hand to take care of repairs and maintenance of your rental property for the best price and quality.

We are affiliated to a network of tried and tested professional tradespeople who will quickly and professionally respond to any issues.

Unlike many property management firms, KPMCo does not charge additional fees or accept any “kick-backs” for referrals to our network of tradespeople.

“Problems Happen. We Fix Them.”

Utility accounts

Our team of property management professionals will ensure all bills are tracked and sourced to eliminate missed payments and possible disconnections.

Billing and invoicing

You’ll never be surprised by a deduction from your account in excess of your chosen limit. All expenses associated with your account are tracked and approved before work is commenced. We appreciate that you are entrusting us with your important investment. All work orders above your agreed upon cost threshold will be approved by you before they are carried out. If you receive a deduction for work completed, and we do not have a record of your approval, you don’t pay. (Please note: This excludes an emergency that risks the health and safety of the building and property).

“Our no surprise billing guarantee!”

Monthly financial reports

A detailed income statement will be provided to you on a monthly basis.

Regular inspections

Property managers will perform a minimum of 2 inspections per year to ensure your rental property is secure and being properly looked after. We will send you the inspection report as well as updated photos of your property. This enables you to stay informed about your property without infringing on the rights of the tenant.

Year-end accounting summary

At the end of each year, you can easily print off a complete summary of revenues collected from your Property Management Account. This report will include revenues collected and expenses incurred to be used for tax purposes.

TESTIMONIALS

We pride ourselves on our unrivalled service and strong focus on relationships. Here’s what our clients have to say:

“Ilan was recommended to me when I was having challenges renting a property in Johannesburg. I live in Cape Town and it soon became apparent that unlike some real estate agents he not only answers his phone and emails quickly he is good at his job. I asked him once if he did not have a business partner in Cape Town since I had three apartments in Cape Town where the tenants had left after Level 5 lockdown was announced. He suggested we still try and market them during lockdown which I had given up on after speaking to other local agents. I am thrilled to say he did what was needed and the three apartments all got tenants during the initial stages of the lockdown. I have to say the thing I appreciate most is the honesty and rapid responses. Lockdown has brought us all new challenges and I much prefer straight forward honesty on market values and what the competition is offering versus numerous back and forth discussions that end up with the same result.”

William Pattison

“Dealing with Ilan was an absolute pleasure. From start to end, the transaction was dealt with swiftly and hassle free. I would highly recommend Ilan to assist you with any future property assistance you may require.”

Shaun Scott

“Ilan is incredibly professional and patient in his work. This was the first time I was renting out my property, and he answered all my questions and kept me up to date regularly. He doesn’t over promise and at the same time he works diligently to get the best value and quality of rental. I’ll definitely use his services again in the future.”

Shamira Sattar

“I was delighted to experience the professional and friendly service that Ilan of KPMCo provided during my search to rent a 2 bedroom apartment in Morningside, Sandton. He has a genuine enthusiasm for ensuring I am happy throughout the whole process. I highly recommend KPMCo if you are thinking of buying/renting property in South Africa – His friendly demeanor and the professionalism made it for me a truly enjoyable experience. Thanks KPMCo for helping me to find a dream place to live in Sandton City!”
