The ownership of Real Estate is comparable to the ownership of an ongoing business, demanding constant attention by management specialists. The key to our success at Interlink Realty Corporation stems from our blend of energy, enthusiasm and knowledge. Applied in the daily process of problem interpretation and problem solving, we ensure the financial integrity of your real estate investment.

We perceive your property, not as a static investment, but one that is dynamic in nature. This concept is entrenched in our Property Management Program that recognises that each investor’s needs and properties are unique. Individually developed management plans provide the flexibility to meet your objectives. Modern and innovative techniques based on our proven international perspective, provide you with an efficient and effective management program.

Our program is based upon our full understanding of your personal requirements and objectives. We develop an internal operating philosophy unique to your investment property. As a result of our specially designed program, we will manage your property as if it were our own.

At Interlink our comprehensive Property Management Program is built upon our leasing, administration, maintenance, and finance activities.

Leasing and marketing a property effectively to prospective tenants is crucial to ensuring a steady income stream. Selection of a future tenant includes analysis of the application and credit history. Insufficient attention to these activities can have serious ramifications at a later date.

Administration of an investment property can become an intimidating quagmire of evolving rules, regulations and other legal and tax implications. Leases not properly executed and notices not correctly served are quickly nullified by the Residential Tenancy Branch. Our expertise in understanding and meeting the administrative requirements of the Residential Tenancy Act of British Columbia will relieve you of attending to these problems.

Maintenance of your property can become a costly affair to an absentee owner. Selection of the most cost effective trades and suppliers will save you money and protect your property. By monitoring work completed by trades, we ensure your money is wisely spent and only spent when required.

Financial implications of real estate ownership are complex. Our complete Financial Statements will enable your accountant to readily complete your Personal or Corporate Income Tax Return. On a monthly basis we will collect the rent, attend to your operating expenses and remit the surplus funds to you. For Non-Residents we submit the required Non-Resident Tax payments directly to Revenue Canada on your behalf. We also complete the Non-Resident Income Statement (NR4) at year-end as required by Revenue Canada. The Financial Statements and Non-Resident Income Statement prepared by Interlink provide your Canadian accountant with the required information to accurately complete your Canadian Income Tax Return and obtain a tax refund if applicable.

We offer professional qualifications, a wealth of experience, solid business practices and high ethical standards. We strive to provide the maximum in service quality, return on investment and appreciation in asset value.

Add up the benefits of our activities and the result is a comprehensive full service property management program and confident, carefree clients.
