    Hi there,

    I've just started looking into leasing my CBD apartment in Melbourne. My building manager suggested Astra Apartments, as they deal with coporate clients who would potentially take better care of my property. They are a leasing company and therefore would be paying regular rent and also cover the gaps in between tenants. I will be meeting them in a few weeks time, but would like a heads up from anyone who can help.

    What I'd like to know is:
    1) Has anyone dealt with this company and what has your experience been?
    2) What are the pitfalls with leasing companies like this compared to going through a normal agency

    Alternatively, if anyone knows of a good property manager for Melbourne CBD they'd like to recommend, it would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks again.

    I use to have all my own personal properties managed up until two years ago when I decided to take them away and manage them myself.  I personally found communication was not the best and I constantly had to micro manage them.  I also found this is not unusual with property managers as I have owned investment properties for over twenty years and have come across a lot of property managers in Melbourne and New Zealand.
     
    Since then I have opened my own property management company and my company is one of only a handful of specialist property management companies in Melbourne.
     
    We have taken property management to a totally new level, you will experience the benefits of dealing with like-minded active investors who know exactly where you are coming from.  We take your business seriously and welcome the opportunity to protect your assets, maximise your returns and accelerate your investing journey.

    • We are a boutique agency with the number of managements capped to ensure quality of service.
    • We offer personalised service with direct access to the licensee.
    • We maximise cash flow by making daily payouts instead of traditional monthly payouts.
    • We minimise vacancy periods by showing properties to potential tenants after hours and on weekends.
    • We actively pursue rental increases, in line with market trends, to offset holding costs.
    • WE DON'T TOLERATE ARREARS.
    • We are proactive in communicating with tenants and landlords and guarantee same day call back.
    • We have a reliable, professional and competitively priced maintenance team at the ready.
    You will find our fee's highly competitive and I can assure you that we will look after your property like it was our own.
