# Havella

> Havella is a residential property management agency in Australia,
> opening in South East Queensland. Landlords get less admin, clear updates,
> rent followed up early and repairs handled well, while licensed property
> people handle inspections, approvals and the conversations that need a
> person.

Key facts:
- Services: residential property management in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Sunshine Coast (South East Queensland), opening there first
- Exclusively property management. There is no sales division and no sales team,
  so nothing in the business competes with a tenancy for attention. This is the
  shape of the company, not a stage it is passing through: Havella does not sell
  property
- The idea for owners: rent followed up early, repairs handled well, off the owner's plate but not out of their hands
- When a property manager changes, the record stays: the handover is already
  written, and owners don't start over
- Licensed people handle the work that needs a person: inspections, approvals, negotiations and the conversations that need a voice. Inspections and viewings are done in person
- A licensed property manager makes every call to a landlord or tenant, and signs off every
  step that starts a statutory clock: a breach notice, a notice to leave, an
  application to the tribunal, entry to a property
- Every action of consequence is reviewed by a licensed property manager before it happens
- Fees are agreed in writing before starting, the same as any agency
- Some of the work behind the scenes uses AI, and Havella says so when asked
- Founders: Cameron Schroeder (Fullstack AI Engineer), Tiger Malan (Real Estate
  Expert), Noah Davey (Founding CTO)
