How It Works
What is a Rent Roll?
A rent roll represents the property management portfolio of a real estate agency - and managing it with care is essential. It provides a steady income stream and, for those who build a substantial portfolio, becomes a highly valuable asset.
Beyond income, a strong rent roll generates valuable sales listings for the sales team, making it an indispensable driver of the agencies overall success.
Financial institutions also recognise the rent roll’s unique value, as it’s the only aspect of the business that a bank will recognize and are readily willing to lend against, essentially, it’s the only real asset of a real estate business.
When assessing a real estate agency's worth, regardless of the sales team's size or turnover, the rent roll often accounts for 80–90% of the agency’s total value.

Building and Retaining a Rent Roll
Building and managing rent rolls can be a lucrative endeavor, but it also comes with significant challenges without the proper support, staffing, and systems in place. After all, overseeing others' assets and investments is a substantial responsibility.
The role of managing and retaining a rent roll is demanding. It requires meeting the diverse needs of tenants, landlords, internal stakeholders, and external third parties. Your duty extends to ensuring properties are impeccably maintained, tenants are content, and landlords' income is optimized with minimal vacancies.
For many new real estate agency owners, the prospect of building and managing a rent roll can be overwhelming. It's a full-time commitment that can't be effectively handled alone. Even seasoned agencies face hurdles during periods of growth or adversity, emphasizing the necessity of a well-defined growth and retention strategy.
To thrive in this competitive landscape, you need more than just a standard service. You need a tailored business plan, the right team and support, a strategy around marketing and retention, and a defined target market and database. These elements form the foundation of success in the rent roll business.
