Property management
Explanation:
Property management serves two purposes:
1) they manage and rent out a property on behalf of the owner, thereby freeing the owner of having to look for reliable tenants, looking after repairs and maintenance, etc., and
2) for someone looking to rent a place they offer a choice of rental options and provide the security of not having to deal with demanding landlords and of knowing that repairs and maintenance will be done as needed.

neutral  philgoddard: Could be, but that's not much of an explanation.

  -> I thought the asker could look up the links themselves to see if the term fits the bill.

disagree  Dave Greatrix: arbitration is called on to settle a dispute. This is promoting a service, IMHO
1 hr
  -> Admit I didn't look the term up in Dutch first. I thought it was someone offering to arbitrate between a tenant and a landlord about the rent.

our property rental services


Explanation:
I would rearrange the sentence. This seems to be a marketing letter promoting the rental services of an estate agent informing potential clients what they have on offer.

agree  philgoddard: This is a reasonable guess in the absence of context.

  -> Not really a guess Phil. See below and http://adverteren-gratis.nl/viewad.asp?id=51048414658108068

neutral  bertvandermoer: Ik heb het idee dat brokerage er in thuishoort, het is niet zozeer een vrrhuurservice alswel bemiddeling
2 hrs
  -> Property rental services deal with everything on behalf of the client, including marketing of the property, client vetting, credit checks, contracts, rent collection, etc - in fact a "broker" in every sense of the word.

agree  Oliver Pekelharing: this is more likely, with hindsight.
