    Hi guys
    My partner and I have a rental property in Ballarat and are not at all happy with the current property managers. I was wondering if anyone could offer some recommendations please. Names of individuals or companies are fine :)
    Thanks in advance
    Enjoy the weekend!

    We use Ballarat Property Group and have been quite happy with them so far.

    Thanks Jodes!

    Anyone else? Surely there are other decent property managers in Ballarat. Although, maybe not :(

    Hi, as an ex property manager in ballarat, and also an IP owner now residing interstate,there really are some bad ones. Jamie Stephens from Ballarat Property Group has my recommendation (no that's not who I worked for)

    [email protected] Katrina from Wilson Estate Agents - my owners in Werribee loved her, then she changed agents, it took them a little while but they found her again and swapped agents. I've been using her for advice (as i don't own one in Ballarat but was looking). If they hadn't found her again, I was going to end up managing their Ballarat property! My office is in Werribee, but I live in Bacchus Marsh so it's not that far up the road from me given I have relatives I visit there as well.

    I have worked with Linda Hulsinga who has just started in Ballarat with Harcourts.
    Mature woman who takes great pride in her ability to successfully meet both landlord and tenants requirements. Give her a call, you won't be dissappointed.

    The real estate agents managing my property in Ballarat were bought out but a bigger agent, the service is now appalling and i am now practically doing their work for them . Does anyone have any recommendations for a good property manager?

    If you're talking about Ballarat Property Group, I am having the same problems. And it's the same staff from BRG so I'm not sure where it's going wrong. Anyone have recommendations?

    Jamie (formerly had his own PM business then was part of Ballarat Property Group and now at Buxton) - he had a very good reputation. I think Carmen is also at Buxton - previously had her as a PM and she was great.
    Our current PM is reasonably good but this is a relationship we have built over time. We stay because of the relationship we have with her rather than the agency she works for.

    It's always a challenge when agencies are bought by others as the cost is significant so often they look to cost cut. We manage in the area but I'll check with one of my old clients if they're still with their agent (they followed her from one company to another).
