It’s hard to believe another year is coming to a close! As we head into the festive season, the Macwell team has been reflecting on what matters most — community, kindness and connection.
This time of year isn’t just about wrapping gifts. It’s about showing gratitude, lending a hand and helping our community.
A little gratitude goes a long way
Relationships are at the heart of good property management. Even a Christmas card can go a long way in strengthening the connection between landlords and tenants.
Here’s an example of what you could write.
Wishing you a wonderful Christmas and a relaxing break. Thank you for taking such good care of the home this year.
A thoughtful gesture like that helps build trust and reminds tenants they’re valued. Let’s make kindness part of how we do property this Christmas.
Keep cool, Queensland!
With summer heat already rolling in, now’s the time to service air conditioners and ceiling fans. A quick tune-up can save you from mid-summer breakdowns and keep tenants cool, comfortable and happy.
Prevention is always better (and cheaper!) than emergency repairs. It’s a small step now that pays off later.
Preparing for the 2026 property market
While December might feel like wind-down time, it’s actually a smart moment for sellers and investors to get ready for the year ahead.
If you’re considering selling in the new year, you can:
- Schedule professional photography
Capture your property looking its best before the January rush. - Book any maintenance or touch-ups
Fresh paint, garden tidy-ups or small repairs make a big difference to presentation. - Review your investment strategy
Talk to your property manager about rent reviews, tenancy renewals or market trends. - Check compliance items
Smoke alarms, pool safety certificates and maintenance records are easier to update now than later. - Declutter and style
If you’re selling, consider minor staging or decluttering for a fresher, more inviting look.
By getting organised now, you’ll be ready to take advantage of early-year buyer activity and start 2026 ahead of the curve!
Supporting our community with Share the Dignity
This Christmas, Macwell is proud to support Share the Dignity, helping women and families in need. It’s a simple reminder that small acts of generosity can make a big difference, especially at this time of year.
If you’d like to contribute, you can donate directly via the Share the Dignity website.
We’re so grateful for every landlord, tenant, buyer and seller who’s part of our Macwell community. Thank you for your trust, support and partnership throughout 2025.
From all of us here at Macwell, we wish you a joyful, safe and relaxing festive season, and an exciting start to the year ahead.
