Proactive and efficient

We have been very happy with the level of service at Real Estate Central. We live in another state so heavily rely on regular property updates and the property manager. A tenant left unexpectedly and Sharlee has been very engaged on finding a new tenant quickly but waiting for the right tenant. Sharlee often provides market updates and seem appears to genuinely care about the outcome. We are very happy with Real Estate Central.

Very Efficient Operator

Natalia has managed the property for the past 3 years if not more and has done an excellent job in communicating regarding contracts, repairs and any other questions we have had. The property has hardly had any vacant days under Natalia's management. Would recommend Natalia's work to anyone looking for a property manager.

Professional, Reliable, and Proactive Property Management

I have had my rental property managed by Real Estate Central for a number of years, and I have been consistently impressed with their prompt, proactive approach and overall professionalism. Knowing my property was in such capable hands gave me real peace of mind, especially when I was frequently interstate for work. In particular, Aoife Smith was an outstanding property manager. She was always kind, professional, and genuinely had my best interests at heart. Her communication was excellent, and I always felt confident that my property was being well looked after. I would definitely recommend Aoife Smith and the team at Real Estate Central to anyone looking for reliable and professional property management services.

Warm, Thorough & Professional

Working with Natalia has been an absolute pleasure. She recently represented me through a complex and lengthy NTCAT dispute regarding a lease break and maintenance claims. Natalia was thorough, highly dedicated, and represented my interests with complete professionalism across multiple tribunal hearings. Thanks to her persistence and detailed preparation, we achieved a strong and fair outcome. Her communication throughout the entire process was prompt, clear, and reassuring. I highly recommend Natalia to any property owner looking for a reliable, capable, and hardworking agent!
