šŸ† THREE YEARS IN A ROW!

Absolutely thrilled to have been awarded 1st Place – Property Management Business Development Manager of the Year at the 2026 Awards for Excellence, making it three years in a row.

While my name might be on the award, results like this don’t happen without an incredible team around you.

A massive thank you to the teams at Barry Plant Berwick, Pakenham and Warragul-Drouin for the support, teamwork and trust throughout another huge year. I’m also incredibly grateful to our referral partners who continue to put their trust in me and our team — your support is a massive part of what we do.

It was also a huge night for our Property Management team, taking home 1st Place – Property Management Department of the Year, with Jess Windsor named Top Property Management Department Manager and Sam Jose named Top Leasing Manager.

Three years in a row is something I’m incredibly proud of, but seeing our entire Property Management team recognised made the night even better.

A brilliant result for an incredible group of people. Bring on 2027! šŸ†

🌱 Spring is moving. Is your investment property ready?

We’re already seeing increased activity as we head into the spring leasing market, with more renters looking to secure their next home.

For property owners considering leasing, changing agents or preparing an investment property for the market, now is a great time to start the conversation.

The right preparation, presentation and pricing strategy can make a big difference when your property goes live.

If you’re thinking about leasing this spring, get in touch and let’s discuss where your property sits in the current market.

Some properties require a little extra persistence.

With a firm deadline and a short-term lease, this one presented a unique challenge—but our team remained committed right through to the final day and achieved a fantastic result for our client.

Thank you for the wonderful feedback and for trusting us with your property!

Good record-keeping is an essential part of protecting your investment property šŸ”

Inspection reports, maintenance requests, invoices, approvals and communication should all be properly documented throughout the tenancy.

Keeping a clear history makes it easier to track decisions, manage issues and ensure everyone understands what has occurred.

Good property management isn’t only about taking action—it’s also about keeping accurate records along the way.

This week’s property management tip:

The highest advertised rent doesn’t always deliver the best overall return šŸ”

Pricing a property above the market can reduce enquiry, extend vacancy and eventually lead to multiple price reductions. A well-researched asking rent helps attract stronger interest and gives you a better opportunity to choose from quality applications.

The right strategy is about balancing rental return with the cost of remaining vacant.

LEASED IN JUST 5 DAYS! šŸ”‘

Advertised on the 13th August, inspected on the 17th and leased on the 18th.

This week’s property management tip:

Good communication is one of the most important parts of effective property management šŸ”

Clear and timely updates keep rental providers informed, help renters understand what is happening and allow maintenance, arrears and other tenancy matters to be addressed promptly.

A good property manager should keep you informed—you shouldn’t need to continually chase them for answers.

If you’re considering a change or would like to discuss how your investment property is being managed, I’d be happy to help.
