Property management

Does a building or subdivision consist of two or more units owned by different people? Then the co-owners are usually legally required to appoint a property manager (syndic). This manager takes care of the management of the common areas. Within our network, we carry out this professional management under the trusted name Gerantis. We distinguish four types of management activities.

Technical supervision

With Gerantis, each co-ownership gets one personal contact for the overall management. Together with our legal, administrative and financial experts in the property managers’ office, this agent takes care of all obligatory maintenance work, inspections and renovation projects. Our agents are responsible for damage reports, urgent and preventive measures, and communication with co-owners. They preside over the general meeting and ensure that the decisions taken there are implemented correctly.

dobby app for co-owners

With the dobby app, every co-owner has his property manager in his pocket at all times. Using a smartphone or laptop, co-owners can consult the dossier of their co-ownership, submit notifications to the building manager and follow up on subsequent actions at any time. Consultation between co-owners has also never been so easy. Evaluating an agenda item via an online questionnaire, holding a digital meeting, and legally valid voting is possible via the app. It goes without saying that this is done in a secure manner and with the greatest respect for the protection of the private data of each association of co-owners.

Legal management

Our legal experts guide managers and owners through increasingly complex property management procedures. With their specialised knowledge, they also assist property developers and notaries. This ranges from drawing up the articles of co-ownership, describing the common and private spaces and the common charges, to the practical house rules of a building.

Administrative management

The administrative component of building management is multifaceted and important. With our specialised management software and close personal contact, we keep a close eye on everything: agendas and minutes of co-owner meetings, project dossiers for renovations or repairs, and all correspondence and telephone calls.

Financial management

Each residence we manage has its own annual budget and bookkeeping; this enables us to accurately track all cash flows. We do this in accordance with the legal provisions for co-ownership and the rules prescribed by the building's statutes. In this way, we divide any costs correctly, and each co-owner has a clear view of the financial situation.

Private property management

As a private property manager, we completely unburden owners of private real estate by offering a full service. Within our network, we entrust this management entirely to our specialized partner Ifac. From administrative, financial, and legal management to technical maintenance: we draft an optimal package of tasks in close consultation with the owner.

The link between owner and tenant

We act on behalf of the owner and keep the property in good condition. We look for tenants, draw up contracts and property descriptions, collect rents and arrange the necessary insurance. If necessary, we follow up on damage reports, mediate disputes and even supervise renovation work.  

The link between owner and property manager

Ook in de relatie met de vereniging van mede-eigenaars en syndicus treden we op voor de eigenaar. We nemen de rol op van aanspreekpunt en vertegenwoordiger, nemen deel aan vergaderingen, volgen het beheer van de gemeenschappelijke delen op en rapporteren terug naar de eigenaar. Via onze Dobby-app heeft die onze rentmeesters altijd op zak. Een melding maken of een project opvolgen, via de smartphone of laptop kan het altijd en overal.

Selling & renting real estate

Successfully selling or renting out a house or apartment requires a well-thought-out approach. To completely unburden property owners throughout this process, Gerantis relies on Ifac (formerly Homeway) as the dedicated real estate partner within the group. In this setup, the property management (syndic) of the common areas via Gerantis and the transaction of private units via Ifac complement each other seamlessly.

Valuation and digital assessment

A thorough market analysis ensures a realistic price advice, which serves as the foundation for the sale or rental process. In addition, Ifac features a smart digital valuation tool. After answering a few targeted questions, owners directly receive an online valuation report providing a reliable price indication.

File preparation and marketing

The team compiles a complete legal file and presents the property optimally using high-quality HDR photography, drone footage, and virtual tours. The real estate is then launched across the largest property portals, social media, and storefronts, while being directly matched with active seekers in the database.

Viewings, negotiation, and legal handling

Following a pre-screening of potential candidates, viewings are coordinated and negotiations are conducted to achieve the best terms and conditions. An in-house legal department oversees all administrative details and drafts a watertight agreement in accordance with the latest real estate legislation.
