HAPPYShe was about to sell her apartment… now she has 3: Dr. Fatma's story with HAPPYDAYS
Owner stories · A true story
Dr. Fatma was like many owners: she had an apartment and thought, “I’ll rent it out and relax.” But what happened was the exact opposite, and by the time she reached us, she had already decided to sell it.
In short:
- Before: A tenant didn’t pay the electricity, took the furniture and left, and the apartment stayed closed for 3 years.
- The decision: She was looking to sell it, until she came across our website and called us.
- Now: 5 years with us and counting, and every month she receives a detailed statement for her unit.
- Best of all: She bought two more apartments, one in Sheikh Zayed and the other in Hurghada, and both joined us.
When renting turns into a loss
Dr. Fatma rented out her apartment on a regular lease. When the term ended and she went back to take it over, she discovered that the tenant hadn’t paid the electricity bills for the whole period, and that he had taken the furniture with him when he left. Instead of income, she found debts and an empty apartment.
After that experience, she kept the apartment closed for 3 full years. She didn’t want to repeat the experience, and she didn’t have time to manage it herself. And the apartment just sat there: no income, and still costing money.
“I’ll sell it and be done with it”
Over time, she decided to sell the apartment. While she was looking, she came across the HAPPYDAYS website and called us. The difference that caught her attention was that the unit isn’t simply handed over to a single tenant: we take it over, prepare it, welcome every guest ourselves, and keep on top of cleaning, maintenance and bills as they come.
5 years and a statement every month
For 5 years now, the apartment has been running with us. And every month Dr. Fatma receives a detailed statement for her unit: bookings, revenue, and every expense in detail. She no longer needs to ask how the apartment is doing; the answer comes straight to her.
From an apartment about to be sold… to 3 apartments
The best proof that it worked is what she did next: she bought two more apartments, one in Sheikh Zayed and the other in Hurghada, and both joined us from the start. The apartment she was about to sell became the beginning of an investment.
