Seller Testimonials

​ Proof is useful. Process is what protects price and settlement.

Sellers in Australia usually get the best result when they prepare a normalised earnings pack, engaged SIRE, choose the right sale structure (asset vs share), confirm GST/CGT treatment early, and map approvals (body corporate or landlord) before going to market. The fastest settlements come from clean documentation, one defensible “bankable” profit number, and a structured handover plan.

SIRE helps owners sell Management Rights and accommodation assets through an appraisal and a controlled sale process designed to reduce buyer churn, diligence friction, and settlement risk.
What owners typically want from us

• SIRE provides clarity on what supports a premium multiple and what tends to compress price or delay settlement, informed by a live feedback loop from current deals and 30 years of industry-specific experience. 
  
• Vetted Buyers that stays serious
• Controlled information release 
• Clean due diligence through to settlement

​This business had been part of our life for many years, so who took it over really mattered to us. We wanted certainty and a proven track record. Just as importantly, we wanted a buyer who would genuinely look after the building. SIRE ran a disciplined process, filtered buyers carefully, and ensured the incoming manager was the right fit, while achieving a record multiplier. The transaction stayed intact from offer to settlement.

Other agents talked about ‘listing and marketing’. SIRE talked about structure, buyer risk, committee dynamics and market timing. It felt like having a strategic advisor rather than just a broker chasing a commission.  ​

I had a previous broker who was high profile looking after the sale and did manage to bring in several contracts, however through different reasons could not secure the sale. Failed sales do equate to costs, legal and other incidentals and no seller wants to wear unnecessary costs. Thinking it was time for a change, an approach to Sire was made. This brought about the introduction of Jessica DONG, a smart, savvy and sophisticated agent. Jessica outlined quickly and easily her vision for the property and negotiations were smooth. True to Jessica's word, very early interest was obtained. In fact a number of contracts were brought to the table quickly with some rejected. I was impressed with the efficiency and professional approach by Jessica and her communication skills. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jessica to sell your accommodation asset. The real positive was the first contract accepted was a smooth transition from signing to sale and I know this was down to Jessica's handling of the sale.

With five CTSs under one principal body corporate, alignment was critical. SIRE prioritised finding an incoming manager the committee would support and the building would genuinely benefit from. All stakeholders were managed carefully, resulting in a clean, confident transition that gave us real peace of mind.

I have known Jessica for a few years and I know that SIRE Management Rights provides more professional advice and services to onsite managers who are selling their business. The SIRE Team is very efficient and has more buyers compared to other firms. The selling process has become more complex and requires diligent work and very specialized skills in the management rights sales field. SIRE Management Rights’ system and process gave me peace of mind. The body corporate interview training The SIRE Team delivers is dynamic, unique, practical and up to date. I would highly recommend SIRE Management Rights to anyone who is thinking of selling or buying management rights.

"Jessica and Richard visited my office a few years back, I have seen lots of great management rights for sale from The SIRE Team consistently over the years.
When we considered selling our management rights, I called Jessica to help me to get my documentation organized and guide us through the sale process.
Jessica and the SIRE Team are very efficient and always love to help, they gave me lots of useful information and advice.
Jessica and The SIRE Team helped us find qualified buyers and submitted several good offers to us in two weeks. The whole process was easy and simple and more importantly we got the price we wanted.

​We really appreciate Jessica and The SIRE Team's excellent work.
I will highly recommend The SIRE Team to my property manager friends, for both buying and selling."

Philip Li and Jessica Chen Managing Director - AFX Management Pty Ltd QLD

Jessica of SIRE Management Rights is legendary in the MLR(management rights) sales space - excellent follow up - rights on top of things, sensible and commercial, everyone should deal with her. The SIRE Team picked up with what had to be done and got on with it for which she is known. I benefited from SIRE Management Rights’s professionalism, working the commercial terms, timely. I would recommend SIRE Management Rights to everyone in the management rights industry - buyers and sellers.

Tim Wright Director Australian Rental Management Pty Ltd QLD

"I had listed my business with other brokers for a while and didn't get the result I wanted. One of my friends said she knew Jessica from SIRE Management Rights and Jessica has lots of experience and lots of buyers. I contacted Jessica and had a meeting in our office. After we had a conversation we chose to list with The SIRE Team.

Jessica and The SIRE Team qualified the buyers and they know what the real buyers want. They didn't waste time bringing around anyone who wasn't serious about buying our business. Jessica brought us buyers who are really suited for our business and really wanted our business. We were impressed with the ability The SIRE Team has to match the requirements between us and the buyer.

Another important factor we like about The SIRE Team is that we can talk frankly with the Jessica and the SIRE Team when problems arise, Jessica and The SIRE Team can analyze and give some advice and solve the problems and we can all move forward. Jessica is great at talking with both parties to negotiate and reach a win win outcome. 

I have, and will recommend my friends who are willing to buy and sell the management right to contact Jessica. She is capable of making the contract going through. She is convincing and to meet the requirements of both sellers and buyers."

SIRE Management Rights keeps in touch with us, that's how we know Jessica. After chatting with Jessica in our office we feel Jessica is the right agent with lots of experience and a large client database. We are confident to have Jessica to represent us to sell our management rights and her ability to fulfill our needs.
We were concerned we couldn't get the asking price and the short time frame we needed to sell our management rights due to other business commitments. We chose Jessica because we felt Jessica is efficient and her approach is unique and effective in terms of working with prospective buyers and us to reach agreement.
We would recommend Jessica and SIRE Management Rights to all our friends and family who need to sell or buy management rights businesses.

Taurus Yang Founder of The Yang Circle Pty Ltd QLD

I knew about SIRE Management Rights from one of my friends who also owns a management rights business. My wife and I are running several management rights and would like to consolidate our businesses. We found it a bit hard to run several sites. Hence, we decided to sell our Sherwood businesses. While we have experiences with other management selling agents, we found SIRE has more innovative marketing initiatives leading to more viewings by potential buyers. We have no reservations in recommending SIRE to anyone who would like to sell their management rights businesses.

​Selling Management Rights / Rent Rolls / Motels / Caravan Parks in Australia: 10 Questions Sellers Ask Before Listing

FAQ

What’s my business worth today — and what valuation method will buyers use?​

• Buyers value risk-adjusted, verifiable earnings
• Management Rights: typically priced off last 12 month net profit × market multiple.
• Rent Rolls: typically priced off annual management income × multiple, adjusted for churn, arrears, concentration risk, fee quality, and management agreement terms.
• Motels/Caravan Parks: typically priced off EBITDA (or maintainable earnings) × multiple, with a separate view on lease terms / rent coverage for leaseholds (and capex reality). For an accurate price range request an apprical

If we sell at $X, what will I net after all costs and debt?​

Your net outcome usually depends on:

• Sale structure (asset vs share), and what’s included/excluded
• Debt payout and security releases (bank, PPSR, guarantees)
• Transaction costs: broker fee + marketing + legal + accounting + due diligence support
• Tax: CGT (and sometimes GST if not GST-free)

What you should prepare:

• A simple Net Proceeds Sheet with:
  • Estimated price range
  • Less: debt payout(s)
  • Less: selling costs (fee/marketing/legal/accounting)
  • Less: tax estimate (from your accountant)
  • = indicative net

What assets do you cover

Management Rights, Rent Rolls, Motels, Caravan Parks, and Supported Accommodation​

What financials do I need — and how will ‘net profit’ be normalised?

• Buyers will test sustainability: income, costs, staffing/contractors, and what’s truly transferable.
  
• Expect requests for:
  
  • Last 2–3 years financials / tax returns (where relevant)
    
  • BAS summaries, bank statements, occupancy/booking reports (accom assets)
    
  • Contractor invoices (cleaning/gardening), wages and rostering
    
  • Management agreements, schedules of duties, fee schedules (MR / rent roll)
    

Normalisation (“bankable net profit”):

• Add-backs must be documented (one-off costs, personal expenses).
  
• Buyers often adjust for:
  
  • market wage for the manager/owner
    
  • recurring contractor costs
    
  • realistic repairs/maintenance level
    

Is the sale GST-free as a ‘going concern’ — what must we do?

A “supply of a going concern” can be GST-free if key conditions are met, including:

• it’s for consideration
  
• the buyer is GST-registered or required to be registered
  
• both parties agree in writing it’s a going concern
  …and the sale includes everything necessary for continued operation, with the vendor carrying on the enterprise until completion.
  

What CGT will I pay — and do I qualify for the small business CGT concessions?

Australia has small business CGT concessions that may reduce CGT if eligibility conditions are met.
Your eligibility depends on factors like:

• entity structure (individual/company/trust)
• whether the asset qualifies as an active asset
• thresholds/tests and ownership rules (your accountant will confirm)

What to do before listing:

• Ask your accountant for a CGT Options Memo:
  • expected CGT under each sale structure (asset vs share)
  • whether concessions may apply
  • what actions must happen before signing (timing matters)

Why it matters:

• CGT planning is one of the few levers that can materially change your net outcome.

Should we do an asset sale or share sale — what changes?

• A business sale generally occurs via selling shares/units in the entity, or selling the business assets directly. Australian Taxation Office
• Asset sale: buyer selects assets/liabilities; often “cleaner” for buyer risk.
• Share sale: buyer takes the company (and its history); can be simpler operationally but requires deeper diligence.

Tax + risk trade-offs (typical):

• Share vs asset structure can significantly change:
  • CGT and concessions outcomes
  • what contracts need assignment/novation
  • what liabilities remain with the seller vs pass to buyer 

What to do before listing:

• Decide preferred structure early with your accountant + solicitor so your campaign and pricing are consistent with reality.

What approvals do we need — and how long will they take?

Management Rights (QLD):

• A service contractor / letting agent engagement may be transferred only with body corporate approval, and not under every module. 
• Committee approval is commonly part of the process; documentation is usually handled via a Deed of Assignment. 
• Motels / Caravan Parks (leasehold):

• Lease assignment typically needs landlord consent and a formal Deed of Assignment.
• In NSW retail leasing contexts, landlords may charge reasonable costs related to the transfer process (not an arbitrary “consent fee”). 

What licensing/compliance items must be clean before we go live?

Management Rights (QLD focus):

• If letting is involved, you may need the appropriate resident letting agent licence (or corporate equivalent) depending on how the business operates. Queensland Government
  
• Licensing sits under the Property Occupations Act 2014 (Qld) framework. 
  
• Ensure compliance around instructions, conduct, and engagement transfer expectations within the body corporate environment. Queensland Government
  

Rent rolls / accom assets:

• Make sure trust account handling, privacy/data, employment, and safety obligations are tidy (buyers will diligence these fast).
  

What’s the timeline from listing to settlement — and what must I do in handover?

A clean sale usually runs through:

1. Vendor readiness (financials, agreements, disclosures, approvals map)
   
2. Go-to-market (targeted buyer pool, NDA + information flow)
   
3. Offer → Heads/Contract → Due diligence
   
4. Approvals (BC/landlord where relevant) + finance
   
5. Settlement + structured handover
