Minimise vacancies
Priced to the market it's actually in, marketed properly, and re-let before the gap costs you a month's rent.
Nest Property Management
Your investment, professionally run.
Nest Property Management is the rental side of Sanam's practice, delivered through Salus Realty Inc., a licensed property management brokerage. Sanam is licensed by BCFSA for rental property management as well as trading services (RE601755), so the advisor who helps you buy an investment can also run it.
Why choose us
Protect your investment. Maximise your returns. Enjoy complete peace of mind.
Your rental property is more than just real estate. It's a valuable investment, and Nest exists to protect it while maximising the rental income and taking the day-to-day management off your hands.
Whether you own one property or an expanding portfolio, the goal is the same: minimise vacancies, protect the asset, maximise your return, and deliver an ownership experience that stays out of your way, so you get the rewards of real estate without the responsibilities.
Protect the asset
Screened tenants, documented inspections, and maintenance handled early, while it's still small.
Maximise the return
Honest rent analysis, deductible fees, and transparent monthly reporting on what the property is really earning.
Complete peace of mind
One licensed advisor, a brokerage trust account, and the Residential Tenancy Act followed properly throughout.
Two ways to work together
Place a tenant, or hand over the whole thing.
Buying and selling are covered elsewhere on this site. This is the part that comes after, and keeps going: the tenancy, the paperwork, and the monthly reality of owning a rental.
Tenant Placement
Find the right tenant. Run the property yourself.
For owners who are happy managing day to day, but want the tenant chosen properly, and the lease written correctly.
- Rental market analysis and strategic pricing
- Professional photography and marketing
- Advertising across the leading rental platforms
- Scheduling and conducting showings
- Full professional screening: credit, employment and income verification, rental history, landlord references, and identity
- A legally compliant tenancy agreement prepared under the RTA
- Move-in coordination and key handover
Full Property Management
Hand over the whole thing.
For owners who want the income without the phone calls, whether that's one condo or a growing portfolio.
Everything in Tenant Placement, plus:
- Rent collection and owner disbursements
- Security deposit administration
- Ongoing tenant communication and support
- Move-in, move-out, and routine property inspections
- Move-in and move-out cleaning, coordinated and documented
- Maintenance coordinated through trusted licensed contractors
- 24/7 emergency response
- Lease renewals and tenancy administration
- Compliance with the Residential Tenancy Act of British Columbia
- Notices, documentation, and dispute resolution support
- Monthly financial statements and transparent reporting
- A secure owner portal, with 24/7 access to statements, invoices, inspection reports, maintenance updates, and documents
- Proactive management aimed at minimising vacancy and protecting the asset
The screening advantage
A credit score is not a tenant screening.
Most landlords screening on their own get a credit number and little else. A professional screen evaluates overall financial responsibility: payment history, income stability, employment, rental history, and references, alongside identity verification. It is a slower process, and it is the reason good tenants stay for years instead of months.
The wrong tenant costs far more than a vacant month. This is where that risk is actually managed.
- Credit assessment, read in context rather than as a pass/fail number
- Employment and income verification, confirmed at the source
- Rental history and direct landlord references
- Identity verification
Worth knowing
Management fees are generally tax-deductible.
Professional property management fees, and many related operating expenses on an income-producing rental, are generally deductible against rental income. For a lot of owners that materially changes the real cost of handing the property over.
This is general information, not tax advice. Please confirm your own position with your accountant or tax advisor.
Rent analysis before you commit
What the unit will actually rent for in today's market, not the optimistic number. Run before you buy an investment property, or before you re-list an existing one, so the carrying-cost math is honest from the start.
One advisor, start to finish
Buy the investment, lease it, run it, and eventually sell it, with the same person who knows the building, the tenancy history, and the numbers behind it. Nothing gets re-explained to a stranger.
Why the licence matters
In BC, managing someone else's rental for a fee requires a licence.
Nest Property Management · by Sanam Farid · Salus Realty Inc.
Nest Property Management is the name on the door. The licence behind it belongs to Salus Realty Inc., a licensed property management brokerage, and to Sanam personally, who is licensed by BCFSA for rental property management as well as trading services (RE601755). That distinction is the point: your rent sits in a brokerage trust account, the paperwork meets the standard the Residential Tenancy Act expects, and there's a regulator behind the relationship. It's a fair question to ask anyone you're considering, and plenty of people offering the service can't answer it.

Owner questions
The things owners actually ask.
-
Nest Property Management is the name for the rental side of Sanam's practice. The services themselves are provided through Salus Realty Inc., which is the licensed property management brokerage: your rent sits in its trust account, and the regulatory relationship runs through it. Nest is the brand you'll deal with day to day; Salus is the licence standing behind it.
-
Both. Sanam holds a BCFSA licence for rental property management as well as trading services (RE601755), and Salus Realty Inc. is a licensed property management brokerage. In BC, managing someone else's rental property for a fee requires that licence, so it's worth asking anyone you're considering.
-
Single units are welcome, and they're a large part of the work. Many clients start with one investment condo or a suite in their own home and add to it later.
-
Yes. There's no requirement that Sanam sold you the property. She'll walk it, review any existing tenancy and paperwork, and tell you honestly what she'd change.
-
The process is set out in the Residential Tenancy Act: proper notice, correct timelines, and if necessary an application to the Residential Tenancy Branch. Having the paperwork done correctly from day one is what makes that process work, which is exactly why the documentation side matters so much.
-
Generally, yes. Professional management fees and many related operating expenses on an income-producing rental are deductible against rental income, which changes the real cost of handing the property over more than most owners expect. Confirm your own position with your accountant or tax advisor, since it depends on how the property is held and used.
-
Yes, under Full Property Management. Move-in and move-out cleaning is coordinated and documented alongside the condition inspections, which matters twice over: the unit shows properly for the next tenant, and the state it was left in is on the record if there's ever a deposit dispute.
-
بله. Owners and tenants are both served fully in English or Farsi, including leases explained line by line.
