    Hi all.
    Thought I'd drag this thread up as I'm now looking for new management on a couple of properties. Duncraig and Maylands areas. Not really into managing "managers".
    Any recommendations out there ?

    Hi all, I too would like to drag this up again. I have been speaking with a few companies of late but also thought I would ask for recommendations if anyone has any brilliant PM's they don't mind sharing? North Perth (suburb) area

    Why can't you post the recommended details here in a simple reply for us all to see ?

    I agree.

    I currently use Cherry Property Management. They're busy but good on the whole and a flat fee which I love. Not perfect, but definitely not awful and not charging 14% like many seem to be these days! :)

    I can see people would want to keep details to themselves. If they post a PM name it could spark some trolling. Best not to.

    I'd be interested to hear peoples' opinions or perceptions on why PM fees are so much higher in Perth. I have a few ideas but I'd like to hear from people who are paying them to see whether there is any additional value.

    No additional value that I can see.

    Yeah if anything, less value. From what I've seen, the typical WA PM is less professional than their eastern states counterparts.

    I know things are changing - but the wages for semi-skilled, but highly competent, staff in Perth is higher than in other states because of the mining industry. This increases the cost of doing business for a lot of operators.

    It is the same argument as why we will pay $5 for a flat white.

    I really have no other idea why the costs would be higher. I do not see any change to the pricing for my current properties even though wages have fallen.

    Exactly why I do it.

    Someone may have had a bad experience with that person / company / business and jump in and tear them to shreds and they have no opportunity to defend them selves.

    I find that when people have bad experiences it is often them that contributed to it due to how they operate. Not always the case but often.
