An ANG 300.- one time set up fee for management is required on each property upon acquisition. In the event the property in question is occupied, and has a current rental agreement or lease with a rental period of six months or more outstanding, the set up fee will be ANG 250,- per property. Set up fees are a one time fee used to establish accounts, marketing and other items pertinent to new accounts.
We do not charge for show-in, bill payments, tax payments, guest visits, light bulbs, keys, call-outs, minor repairs or other minimal items.

Providing special services would be our pleasure.
Often, it’s the little extras that make all the difference. We would be pleased to offer suggestions and recommendations for non-essential improvements to increase your home’s comfort, value and appeal (e.g., flooring, décor, appliances, amenities, etc.), and to implement these improvements on your behalf.

We do not tie owners to long-term contracts*, it is after all, your home and you may terminate our management at any time without penalty*. We hope that you will consider our company; it would be a great pleasure to be of service to you.

Your vacation home is one of your biggest investments and we’ll treat it like our own. On behalf of Curaçao rentals, I hope that you will allow us the privilege of managing your home.
 
Public Relations

We like to place a ‘welcome package’ in the house for renters. The package consists of a wonderful flower bouquet and one or two bottles of fine wines (depending of the number of guests). Many guests arrive late and are tired from the trip and can use a little suprise and it also give a very special message to the renters that they are welcome and valued clients. Every guest is a potential renter in the future!

The cost of this package is generally around ANG 50,- . The cost will be taken from the rental monies. No charge beyond cost of supplies is made for this service.
