Why choose FZP Rental Property Management Company?

We are specialists in this field and have been directly involved with property management in the holiday and corporate rental market, offering a wide range of property management services and holiday rentals since 2002. Growing our portfolio with passion and commitment from the first 2 properties up to the current almost 100, we have gained enormous experience, and enjoy the respect and confidence by many in the marketplace, as well as understanding for the needs of property owners and investors – our business partners.

 
We have the infrastructure, procedures and systems in place to ensure smooth operation and optimum utilization.
Our aim is to be the number 1  provider for short term holiday and corporate rentals in Cape Town.

   
Rock Solid
FZP was established in 2002 with only 3 properties. Our business model with various options have proved to meet the requirements of both our business partners (apartment owners), and guests alike – allowing us to not only grow to become a market leader in the industry, but also to sustain and expand our presence – even in difficult and trying times.  
 
Occupancy
Throughout our portfolio of over 100 properties around Cape Town, we achieve an average of 50% occupancy per annum. Our goal is the perfect balance between Daily Rate & Occupancy. We continuously monitor occupancy, compare this with rental achieved, and make adjustments to secure the highest possible rental income. Our model being performance driven returns far better results than less aggressive alternatives with fixed retainers.

Marketing
We realize the importance of building a strong brand, and therefor use a variety of marketing channels to ensure maximum visibility. We do aggressive marketing through both the internet, traditional print media, as well as various other marketing channels including hospitality marketing representatives in order to achieve the best possible results.

Online - Organic Search Results
The reason you found our website is the exact same reason potential guests will find it! We strive to be the number 1 website & booking engine for short term holiday and corporate rentals in Cape Town. We do aggressive marketing through SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to achieve the best results possible. Our rankings improve constantly with an increasing number of relevant keywords in the Top 1; Top 5 and Top 10 positions on major search engines worldwide.

Online – Sponsored Adverts
We have a specialist team constantly tweaking our PPC (Pay-per-Click) campaigns to ensure optimum performance of those keywords not performing well on generic searches to ensure maximum exposure all round.

Online – Accommodation Portals
We are represented on a large number and variety of accommodation directories – from commission, to annual subscription based increasing our online presence and market share.

Online – Social Networks
We realize the importance of “word-of-mouth” and how this has changed to taking advice and referrals from complete strangers. A very active and interesting social media campaign through various networks with an ever increasing amount of active followers ensures the perfect platform.

Print – Magazines
We advertise on an ongoing basis throughout the year in various travel magazines including airline in-flight magazines which proves to be very successful.

Hospitality Marketing Company
FZP is represented by AXIS Marketing calling on the travel trade (retail travel agents & inbound tour operators), as well as major corporations requiring business travel.

Vehicle Branding
Our branded vehicles zipping around Cape Town have proved to be yet another successful way to source potential business.

Target Market
As tourism in general has seasonal fluctuations, we decided to target, and managed to secure a fine balance between leisure and corporate business at different times throughout the year. Our leisure market is both local and international with the website offering all major languages of the globe. The corporate market is aimed at business travel as well as relocations.          

Value Added
In an ever changing world becoming more and more competitive, we realize the value of incentives and importance of customer service. We are proud to offer our business partners and guests the following value added options and services:

- Convenient 24/7 key collection

Note:
We have negotiated the following for our business partners and apartment owners. Please enquire should you require more information:
- A discounted commercial DSTV package with Multichoice
- A discounted Virtual Tour option which would make your listing a featured listing – listed above the other listings without this.  
 
I trust that you have found the information and solutions above informative as well as attractive. We look forward to become a partner in marketing or managing your property, or even handling your commercial property management and securing the best possible return.

Please feel free to discuss any aspect with me personally.

Ps. Scroll down for interesting information regarding Short Term vs Long Term Letting

Every owner/investor prefers the maximum return on investment. The figures in both scenarios below speak for themselves:

1 Bed Apartment Cape Town
Market Value R1 250 000
Long Term Letting
- Monthly Rental of R6 500
Short Term Letting
- Daily Rental of R900 X 15 Days* per month = R13 500

2 Bed Apartment Cape Town
Market Value R1 750 000
Long Term Letting
Monthly Rental of R8 500
Short Term Letting
Daily Rental of R1150 X 15 Days* per month = R17 250

Long Term Letting

Advantages

• Secure (but inadequate) Rental Income
•  No initial capital outlay for furniture

Disadvantages

• Lower Rental Income than Short Term Letting
•  Little control over tenants with limited access for inspection
•  Higher “wear&tear” of fixtures with permanent occupation
•  Not available for personal use at all

Short Term Letting

Advantages

• Higher Rental Income than Short Term Letting
• Regular inspections of the unit through housekeeping, arrivals & departures, maintenance etc.
• Not occupied 100% means longer “life” of fixtures.
• Flexible to accommodate personal use & enjoyment
  

Disadvantages

• Rental Income not 100% secure (50% occupancy considered conservative)
•  Initial capital outlay for furniture
