Owning a rental property in Vancouver or the Lower Mainland can be one of the smartest financial moves you make - but managing it yourself can quickly turn stressful. From tenant calls and repairs to paperwork and rent collection, being a landlord often feels like a second job.

That’s where a professional Vancouver property manager makes all the difference. At My Dream Realty, we handle every detail so you can enjoy the rewards of ownership -and in most cases, our service actually pays for itself through better tenants, higher occupancy, and fewer costly mistakes.

1. Better Tenant Placement Through Rigorous Screening

Reliable tenants are the foundation of a profitable rental. A property manager uses proven screening systems - reviewing employment, references, and credit history - to find the right fit for your home.

With My Dream Realty, you benefit from:

  • Reduced risk of late or missed rent
  • Lower chance of property damage
  • Longer tenancies with stable income
By securing dependable tenants, we help maintain both your property’s condition and your cash flow.

2. Higher Occupancy and Reduced Vacancy Rates

Every month your property sits empty, you’re losing money. Our team uses professional photography, compelling listings, and platform syndication to keep your units rented.

We manage hundreds of homes across Vancouver, Burnaby, North Vancouver, Coquitlam, Richmond, and Surrey - giving us deep insight into what local renters want and how to price your property effectively.

3. Stress-Free Rent Collection and Deposit Management

No more chasing tenants or worrying about missed payments.
At My Dream Realty, we use secure digital systems (like Plooto) for automated rent collection - ensuring consistent, on-time deposits directly to your account.

We also handle security deposits, move-in/out documentation, and monthly reporting - making your finances clear and predictable.

4. Professional Maintenance and Repairs

When something breaks, it needs to be handled fast and properly. Our property managers coordinate maintenance with vetted tradespeople, ensuring high-quality work at competitive rates.

  • Quick response to tenant repair requests
  • Volume discounts with trusted vendors
  • Preventive maintenance to protect long-term value
This keeps tenants happy - and your investment protected.

5. Full Legal Compliance and Support

BC’s Residential Tenancy Act has strict rules around rent increases, deposits, and evictions.
Our licensed team ensures your property is always compliant - avoiding unnecessary fines or disputes.

We manage all legal documentation, inspection reports, and communication with tenants, keeping you protected at every step.

The biggest benefit of hiring a professional manager?
Peace of mind. You don’t have to worry about rent collection, 2 a.m. calls, or legal paperwork - and your property’s long-term value is preserved.

Well-managed properties:
  • Attract higher-quality tenants
  • Maintain their condition
  • Appreciate faster in value
That’s why, for most investors, professional property management pays for itself many times over.
