Acquisitions – Ext Strategy

Sell Your Rent Roll: A Respectful Handover for Your Clients

You’ve spent years building relationships with your landlords. When you’re ready to step back – whether you’re retiring, relocating, or just ready for a change – those relationships deserve continuity.

We specialise in small to mid-sized rent roll acquisitions (1-80 doors) in Auckland’s North Shore to Warkworth. We’re not brokers. We’re operators who understand what you’ve built, and we’re interested in quiet, respectful transitions that work for you and your clients.

Why Sell to Venko Property?

Flexible Terms
We’re open to earnouts, phased handovers, or clean exits. Every situation is different. Let’s talk about what makes sense for yours.

Operational Continuity
Your clients won’t experience a drop in service. We use systems-based property management (PropertyMe, Risk Registers, CapEx planning) to maintain the standards you’ve set.

Local Focus
We only operate in Auckland’s North Shore to Warkworth. If your book is in our area, we’re genuinely interested.

Fast, Straightforward Process
Initial contact within 48 hours followed by initial assessment. Settlement structure tailored to timelines that suit both parties. No drawn-out negotiations.

Confidential Conversations
No obligation. No pressure. Just a straightforward discussion about your options.

Who We’re Looking For

We acquire rent rolls from property managers in Auckland who are:

Planning retirement or career change

Seeking a strategic exit without public listing

Looking to consolidate or divest part of their portfolio

Wanting a succession plan that protects their reputation

Ideal portfolios: 1–80 residential properties | North Shore, Albany, Hibiscus Coast, Warkworth, or nearby areas | Established client relationships

What’s the Process?

1. Initial Chat (30 minutes, confidential)
We’ll discuss your situation, the size and location of your book, and what you’re hoping for in a transition. No obligation, just a straightforward conversation.

2. Valuation & Indicative Terms
We’ll provide a fair valuation based on door count, annual revenue, and location. We’ll also outline potential structures (upfront, earnout, phased handover) and indicative timelines.

3. Due Diligence & Verification
If we both want to proceed, we’ll review your rent roll data (client list, lease terms, revenue history, compliance status). This protects both parties and ensures a fair price. We keep everything confidential.

4. Final Agreement & Settlement
Once due diligence is complete, we’ll finalise terms, structure the settlement (upfront payment, earnout schedule, or phased transition, etc.), and document the agreement.

5. Transition & Handover
We’ll work with you on client communication, system migration, and any support you need during the transition period. You decide how involved you want to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much is my rent roll worth?
Typically 2.5-3.5x annual management fee revenue, depending on client quality, location, and lease terms. We’ll provide a specific valuation after our initial conversation.

Do I need a broker?
Not for smaller books (1-80 doors). Brokers typically charge 15-20% commission and focus on larger deals. We prefer direct conversations.

What if I’m not ready to sell yet?
That’s fine. Many rent roll owners think about succession planning 1-2 years before they’re ready to act. We’re happy to have an early conversation with no obligation.

Can I stay involved during the transition?
Absolutely. Phased handovers (where you gradually step back over 3-6 months) often work well for both parties.

What happens to my clients?
They’ll receive a personal introduction to Venko Property, an explanation of our systems, and continuity of service. We don’t rebrand or disrupt existing relationships until such a time as is suitable.

What does due diligence involve?
We’ll review your rent roll data (client list, lease terms, revenue history), compliance status, and client retention rates. This protects both parties and ensures a fair valuation. Everything remains confidential, and we’ll sign an NDA if required. The process typically takes 1-2 weeks.

Outside Our Core Region?

While our primary focus is Auckland, we evaluate opportunities across New Zealand. If you operate in Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Wellington, Whangarei, or other regions with a strong portfolio and solid systems, we’re open to discussion.
We assess each opportunity on its strategic fit and portfolio quality.
