    Hi I am looking for a decent property manager in Dawesville or Mandurah and surrounds. When I say decent I mean reasonably priced, good at vetting tenants and pro-active with inspections. Any help or recommendations would be greatly appreciated

    Defraites & Ryan are down that way. Have not used them personally but have only heard good things, including a friend who worked there.

    Head to the Mandurah Q&A facebook page - you'll get a good response from both tenants and landlords! Sometimes it's good to hear the tenant experience as well, although being FB there will be a few whingers for sure.

    +1 I use them and they've been pretty good. Flat fee structure too and directly pass-on expense costs (no handling/management fees)

    I've just started using the Realestate co and Kylie is amazing so far - very proactive and great communication.

    I was going to use them however they were taken over buy a local sales agency about 2 months back (bought out the competitive competition maybe), not sure how the staff are going to react yet so I gave them a miss for now.
    ATM closest office is Rockingham, I prefer someone more on the ball with the local area and my property.

    About 6mths back my neighbours changed agents, after witnessing the previous one (LJ) I was determined to keep self managing.
    The new PM (owns the business) got them a decent long-term tenant, seemed to be ticking all the boxes so decided to give her a go.
    Initial communications hasn't been fantastic, but perhaps that's my high expectations, however she just got me a long-term (18mth to start) at asking price. See how the rest plays out.
