01 / HOW WE WORK
SUNSHINE COAST
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT.
You should know who’s looking after your rental, what needs attention and when you’ll hear from them. We’ll explain how our service works and agree on communication and maintenance approvals with you.
Brandi Wilson leads our property management team from Buddina. From inspection reports to repair updates, we’ll help you keep track of what’s happening at your property.
OUR APPROACH / CLEAR COMMUNICATION · CONSIDERED ADVICE · LOCAL KNOWLEDGE
We manage residential rentals across the Sunshine Coast, including the Kawana and Caloundra areas. Rental advice starts with your home’s location, condition and features, alongside comparable properties.
02 / FIND YOUR NEXT STEP
WHAT MATTERS
TO YOU?
What brings you here? You might be reviewing your current manager, preparing a home for tenants or buying another investment. Choose the topic that fits.
01 ALREADY HAVE A PROPERTY MANAGER?
Getting the service you expect?
Do you hear from your manager without chasing? Are your inspection reports genuinely useful? Do you understand what’s happening with repairs and costs?
02 BUILDING A PORTFOLIO
Investors and portfolios
As you add or review properties, look at the rental evidence, lease dates, reporting and maintenance records for each home.
03 STARTING OUT
Your first rental property
If you are preparing a property for its first tenancy, start with a rental appraisal and a discussion about the property, timing and management options.

03 / THE WORK BEHIND THE SERVICE
HOW WE LOOK AFTER
YOUR RENTAL.
Before you appoint us, we’ll explain the day-to-day work, how you’ll receive updates and which decisions need your approval.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
Tenant selection
For a general tenancy in Queensland, the RTA’s standardised Rental Application (Form 22) applies, subject to limited exemptions. We discuss the application process with you. If an applicant is listed in a tenancy database, the property manager or owner must tell them in writing which database and what the listing is, and how to request an amendment or removal. Read the RTA’s Form 22 application guidance and tenancy database guidance.
02 / HOW IT WORKS
Property inspections
Routine inspection reports are documented in writing and photographs. Under Queensland tenancy rules, routine inspections cannot happen more than once every three months unless the tenant agrees in writing.
03 / HOW IT WORKS
Maintenance
You set approval arrangements and an appropriate expenditure threshold. Non-urgent repairs above the agreed threshold are discussed and quoted, subject to emergency obligations.
04 / HOW IT WORKS
Owner reporting
Owner statements, invoices and inspection reports help you follow the income, costs and condition of your property. Contact our team if there’s anything you’d like explained.
Queensland has specific entry requirements for routine inspections, including at least seven days’ notice using Form 9. See the official RTA guidance.
04 / THREE-QUESTION PRIVATE CHECK
IS YOUR MANAGER
WORKING FOR YOU?
Three topics are worth looking at: communication, inspections and repairs. This short check is designed to help you decide which questions to ask, not to judge whether a manager has passed or failed.
Three short questions. There is no score, and your answers stay on this page.
This is a quick reflection, not a formal assessment of an agency or a property. For a fuller review, take the 12-question Property Health Check.

GOOD QUESTIONS.
CLEAR ANSWERS.
Who will manage my property?
Brandi Wilson leads ELITE’s property management team from Buddina, supported by colleagues who deal with the day-to-day management, reporting and owner enquiries.
How can I find out what my property could rent for?
Request a property-specific rental appraisal. Rent depends on location, condition, accommodation, recent lease evidence, competing properties and tenant demand. Request an appraisal.
Can I change property managers while my property is tenanted?
Generally, yes. A change of property manager does not automatically end the existing tenancy. The RTA requires the manager change to be notified using Form 5. Your current management appointment should be reviewed before any notice or handover. RTA manager-change information.
What does property management cost?
Fees, inclusions and charges vary with the agreed service. Brandi’s team will provide a written proposal before you appoint ELITE.
How are repairs approved?
The maintenance approval threshold and your preferences are discussed at the start. Emergency repair obligations can require urgent action; other work is handled according to the agreed authority and tenancy law.
Where does ELITE manage rental properties?
ELITE is based in Buddina and works across the Sunshine Coast, from Caloundra towards Peregian Beach, including Buddina, Minyama, Warana, Bokarina, Birtinya, Currimundi and surrounding suburbs. Explore property management in Buddina or explore property management in Minyama.
