Daniella Ferraro

Department Manager - Property Manager

daniella@melbourneharcourts.com.au
About Daniella
After completing a hairdressing traineeship, Daniella begun working in real estate on a short term basis in her mother’s office in the Western Suburbs in 2010. Her mother had been a local agent in the area for over a decade and owned her own company for 7 years. Starting in administration to help inject energy and momentum into the business, Daniella excelled and quickly progressed into property management when an opportunity arose. “I’m grateful for the opportunity I had working in my mum’s office. I had excellent training and was surrounded by a wealth of knowledge and experience to assist me in my first years.” In 2013 the buzz, excitement and challenge of the inner-city saw Daniella choose to move to Melbourne’s CBD to further progress her career. Taking on a role managing a Fully Furnished portfolio in a multiple office network, Daniella was able to progress into managing a small team of upcoming property managers’ whist providing an exceptional service to her clients. “Managing furnished properties requires a different set of skills, you’re dealing with a clientele who expect a hotel quality service. You’re not only managing the property itself but ensuring that the furnishings provided are up to standard and well presented” After 4 successful years, in late 2016, Daniella decided it was time to challenge herself again accepting a key position at Harcourts Melbourne City. “I am ready to lead the property management team to new heights and I’m really excited about the future”

They were as responsive as it gets, I was never left with any questions that needed to be answered. They were really professional and knowledgeable, they make sure that they have both owner and tenant on mind, protecting both to the fullest extent. Recommended for sure!

Professional and Results Focused

I fell into the trap of not expecting too much from my previous managing agent - but was awakened from my slumber when the property remained untenanted for 3 months - and they told me it was due to the deficiencies in the property (which I had diligently maintained) and due to 'a decline in rental demand' (it had been tenanted over 95% of the time over previous years!). Moving my business to Harcourts Melbourne City was win-win for both parties. They just did their job professionally (without fanfare and unnecessary spin) and provided higher quality marketing/photography, better organised inspections, a more rigorous assessment of applicants, kept me fully informed of progress and really helped to resolve issues. To cut a long story short, they found a quality tenant for the property just over one week after it was readvertised under their banner. I look forward to Harcourts Melbourne City continuing to manage my property.
