Over twenty years servicing this great city teaches you something: a rental works best when it actually feels like a home.
So that's how we run things.
When you rent through Riverside Property Management, you get a property manager who answers the phone, sorts the leaky tap before it becomes a saga, and treats your bond like it's your money - because it is. We're not the biggest property managers in the Waikato, and that's deliberate. We'd rather know every home on our books than have a spreadsheet full of addresses.

We've managed Hamilton homes since 2004. We know what a fair rent looks like in every suburb, which houses hold their warmth in winter, and who to call when something needs fixing fast.

Ring us and a human picks up, someone who's actually stood in the kitchen of the house you're asking about. Tenants and owners deal with the same familiar faces, year after year.
Long tenancies, low vacancy, rent that arrives when it should. Not by luck - by matching the right people with the right homes and doing the basics properly, every time.
Applications get answered. Repairs get updates. Statements make sense. Whatever's happening with the home, everyone who needs to know, knows.
Straight answers, things that get fixed, and a bond done by the book. Renting through Riverside means dealing with a person who's actually seen the house - and answers when you ring.
Tenants who are treated well stay longer, pay on time and look after the place. After over 20 years managing homes in the greater Waikato region, that's our model and it's why our owners barely hear from us except on payday.
"We've been using Jamie for some 20 years. He manages our property so well it requires minimal input from us.
We cannot speak highly enough of him, we highly recommend Jamie as a Property Manager. "
Terry & Corina
"We've used Jamie from Riverside Property for over 15 years and have always been extremely happy with his service.
He's professional, reliable and easy to deal with."
Scott & Seyanna
"Jamie has not missed a beat for a solid 20 years for me. His experience and connections have given me full tenancy, sound advice, payment on time, and brilliant communication/ record keeping. It's a rare thing to be able to say that about a business."

Hit 'apply now' fill in the online form. It takes about ten minutes. We check references properly, so have your details ready, and we'll come back to you with an actual answer either way.
Usually within two to three working days once we've got your references. If it's taking longer, we'll tell you why. We don't believe in leaving people hanging when they're trying to sort a home.
Us, straight away - one number, a person who knows your house. Urgent stuff gets jumped on immediately; everything else gets logged, booked with one of our regular tradies, and you're kept in the loop.
We lodge it with Tenancy Services within the required timeframe - it's held by them, not us. We know you'll look after the place, and so getting it back at the end is quick and drama-free.
We meet every applicant in person, check references and credit properly, and we'd rather a home sits an extra week than put the wrong person in it. It's why our tenancies tend to last.
