Blackbird and Finch

Blackbird and Finch is a boutique residential property management agency in Toowoomba and surrounds.
(1)

Blackbird and Finch was established by Principal, Simone Files and Director, Rebecca Fogarty; having worked together for nearly 10 years in the Toowoomba real estate scene, we saw the need for a personalised approach to real estate. We understand that everyone’s situation is slightly different and believe you deserve unique, individual attention regardless of whether you are renting, buying, selling or investing.

There’s much more to property management than meets the eye.

Behind every investment property is a long list of responsibilities, from up-to-date legislation and compliance to maintenance, inspections, communication, tenancy agreements and everything in between.

Recent industry research from tech co Kolmeo has highlighted just how complex the property management profession has become, with growing workloads and increasing compliance requirements adding to the role.

That’s why having an experienced team behind your investment matters. Our Task-based model ensures you get the expert on each cycle of your property's management. (More on this later!)
At Blackbird & Finch, property management isn't something we do on the side. It has been our everyday since our beginning.

Meet Ray 👋

Ray joined the Blackbird & Finch team in 2026 as a Licensed Real Estate Agent, bringing more than 20 years of experience in real estate and a wealth of experience working with people.

Ray began his real estate career in Toowoomba in 2004, after previously working for 11 years in the insurance industry and around 20 years in hospitality.

He believes authentic selling is about understanding people and building genuine relationships, rather than simply focusing on a product.

Before joining Blackbird & Finch, Ray was the Principal of his own agency in the Highfields area for more than eight years. He has also worked closely with Peter, Simone and Rebecca over many years, making his move to the team a natural fit.

We value the experience, knowledge and people-focused approach Ray brings to the Blackbird & Finch team.

Outside of his work in real estate, Ray enjoys spending time with his family and friends and making the most of life in the Toowoomba region.

He is married to Toowoomba-born Louise, and together they have raised two daughters. His guiding principle throughout his real estate career has been simple: to conduct business in a way that makes his family proud.

He was trained under the highly regarded Pittard real estate training system, which focuses on ethical conduct and client-focused results. His many testimonials and repeat business reflect his commitment to his clients and the way he approaches his work.

With a deep love of Toowoomba and extensive knowledge of the city and surrounding areas, Peter brings valuable local insight to his role.

We value the experience, local knowledge and strong ethical approach Peter brings to the Blackbird & Finch team.
