    I'm looking for a new property manager in MIlton QLD area for my unit. Can anyone offer any good suggestions??

    My current manager has left the property vacant for over 8 weeks with zero feedback and avoids my calls (always out of the office, on leave or gone home – at 1pm)

    You would think property managers would have more respect for their clients, I mean seriously !

    It happens . I walked over to another property manager/ real estate agent  and asked them to take over the rental when it happened to me. Then the bad manager's real estate office owner calls me to ask why I did not call them which I replied I called on several occasions and was promised a call back which never occurred.

    An agent that manages a large portfolio of rentals has it is in their interest to look after rental owners rather than a real estate agent that does some rentals and relies more on sellers and buyers for their lively hood. This is how I found my excellent real estate property manager.

    Yep unfortunately it happens all the time.  Best to find yourself a dedicated property manager as opposed to a real estate agent (which is what you're trying to do obviously).

    Is there a Run Property in the area? I use them in Melbourne for 2 of my properties and generally very good.

    Hiya Gizzy

    A real estate agent sells property. A property manager looks after your rental. So they're two different roles.

    However, a lot of real estate agencies have divisions devoted to property management.

    Cheers

    Whether you are an (sales) agent or a property manager, the licensing requirements are exactly the same.

    Many PMs are overworked and underpaid and under appreciated which usually results in a high IDC factor.

    Thank you ,

    That's what I thought the property Manager works at the real estate agents … I have heard you can get bad ones …

    Having been in real estate for 20 years it is the reason i employ my own personal Property Manager rather use a property agents employed by a real estate agent.

    In saying that haven't heard wrong with Run so give Scott's parents a go.

    Cheers
