How do you choose a property manager in Tauranga?
Six things decide whether a property manager is right for your rental. Ask each one in writing, and compare the answers side by side.
The yearly cost. Ask for the total you would pay over a year on your rent, extras included, not only the percentage.
What the fee covers. Letting, inspections, maintenance, Tribunal work and statements should each be listed as included or charged.
Standards in the agreement. Response times and inspection reports belong in the signed document, along with what happens if one is missed.
Who looks after your property. You should know the name of the person you will deal with from the first visit.
How the rent reaches you. Ask where rent is held, how often you are paid, and when you get a statement.
What it costs to leave. The exit terms should be clear before you sign, not discovered when you want to go.

Your property’s own number comes from an appraisal, not a city median.
How does changing property managers work?
Switching is simpler than most landlords expect. We handle the handover with your current manager, and your tenancy carries on as it is.
Who is behind Dunmore?
Dunmore Property Management was founded in 2026 by Chris Matulke, who has spent most of his working life in property. It is privately owned, run from Mount Maunganui, and built so Tauranga property managers have the time and the systems to do the job properly.
Questions Tauranga landlords ask us
What does a property manager do?
Property managers and rental managers in Tauranga do the same job: they find and check tenants, collect rent, follow up arrears, inspect the property, arrange maintenance and keep it compliant. We also write our service standards into every management authority, so you know exactly what to expect.
Who will manage my property?
One property manager from the appraisal to the end of the tenancy, with a named backup for leave. There are no hand-offs between desks, and you always know who to call.
How is my rent money held?
Rent is paid into a separate client account held on trust, reconciled daily and never mixed with company funds. Bonds are paid directly to Tenancy Services. You are paid on the 1st and 15th of every month, with a statement each time.
Do you keep my rental Healthy Homes compliant?
Yes. Every private rental has had to meet the Healthy Homes standards since 1 July 2025. We check compliance before letting, keep the records on file, and flag anything that needs work.
Can I switch property managers in the middle of a tenancy?
Yes. The tenancy carries on as it is and the bond stays lodged with Tenancy Services. We handle the handover with your current manager; check your current agreement for its notice period.
Which areas do you manage?
Tauranga and the wider Bay of Plenty, including Mount Maunganui, Papamoa, Te Puke, Katikati and Omokoroa.
