SmartYield Property Group: AI-Driven Rental Property Management
Company Overview & Professional Services
SmartYield Property Group represents the next generation of property management services, where precision meets innovation and landlords come first. Founded by Kevin Haase, a former military engineer with extensive experience in mining and aviation, our company brings unparalleled discipline and attention to detail to rental property management.
We identified a critical gap in the traditional real estate market: landlords were consistently undervalued and underserved by agencies focused on sales commissions rather than property management excellence. SmartYield was created to fill this void, offering exclusive rental property management services powered by AI-driven automation and delivered by senior, highly skilled property managers.
Our transparent fee structure eliminates hidden costs, while our innovative approach maximizes property performance and provides landlords with the peace of mind they deserve. At SmartYield, we don’t just manage properties—we optimize them.
Kevin Haase: The Visionary Behind SmartYield Property Group
Kevin is hands-on across the full scope of property management — finding quality tenants, handling lease renewals, coordinating repairs, and keeping rent competitive with the market. Before moving into real estate, he spent time in engineering and military service, and that background still shows up in how he works: thorough, organised and dependable, whether it’s lease paperwork or a routine inspection. It’s less about where he came from and more about the habits it left him with — the kind that make owners trust the details are covered.
- Proactive, not reactive. Kevin isn’t just keeping the lights on. He’s always looking a few steps ahead, spotting ways to protect and grow a property’s value rather than just responding when something breaks.
- Ownership mentality. He approaches every property as if it were his own, which shows up in how closely he tracks maintenance, tenant satisfaction and market rent.
- Precision, applied. His engineering and military background translates into disciplined processes — organised paperwork, careful inspections, nothing falling through the cracks.
- People remember how he makes them feel. Heard, informed and taken care of. He’s easy to reach, straightforward to deal with, and genuinely invested in helping owners build lasting wealth from their properties — not just collect rent.
Angelique Pihama
- A sales mindset applied to service. Most property managers are trained to manage process; Angelique was trained to win and keep clients. That instinct shows up in how proactively she communicates and how personally she takes a landlord’s or tenant’s satisfaction.
- Relationship-first, not transaction-first. She treats each tenancy as an ongoing relationship between three parties rather than a set of compliance tasks, which shows up in faster, warmer communication on all sides.
- Adaptability. Her real estate background means she reads people and circumstances quickly, adjusting her approach for a first-time landlord versus a seasoned investor, or a long-term tenant versus someone new to renting.
- A point of difference for SmartYield. In an industry where clients often feel like a number, Angelique’s sales-trained, high-touch style is a differentiator that reinforces SmartYield’s concierge positioning.
Maxine van den Berg
Maxine brings over 9 years of experience in residential real estate. She started in South Auckland, New Zealand, where she spent five years selling homes and building a reputation for strong, lasting relationships with clients. She later brought that expertise across to Brisbane, joining Harcourts Pinnacle in Aspley, where she continued building on an already strong track record. Across both markets, the throughline in how people describe working with her is consistent: she listens closely to what someone actually needs, keeps them informed every step of the way, and follows through until the job is done properly.
- Relationship-first approach. Maxine’s reputation was built on nurturing genuine, strategic relationships rather than chasing transactions — the same mindset she now brings to helping property owners find the right fit with SmartYield.
- Listens before she recommends. Former clients recall her steering them toward the right outcome because she took the time to understand what they were really looking for, not just what was on offer.
- Tenacious and driven. She’s been described as fearless, energetic and tenacious — someone who works hard for the people she’s representing and doesn’t let things slide.
- Communicative and accommodating. People consistently point to how well she keeps them in the loop, taking the stress out of what can otherwise be a daunting process.
