    Hi All,

    We're about to try to rent a place in West Ryde and I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for a good property manager in the area?

    Thanks in advance!

    I can certainly tell you who not to use. Previously rented off first national and amongst other things they refused to provide a fee free rent option despite legislation requiring it. There was also some dodginess with a few other things and maintenance requests that didn’t make it to owner as we later found out when talking to them directly

    @Zepth, unfortunately we also know not to use First National from first-hand experience. We previously rented our property out through them and they advised us to accept a tenant who, after three months, had trashed the place (broken mirrors, cockroach infested, smoking weird stuff), had the police called on them at least 2 or 3 times, paid no rent, and wouldn't vacate. Not going near them again.

    Thanks @Simon L, I'll look them up.

    Sorry, I should clarify - we're looking to rent out a property we own and so are looking for a good property manager to manage that for us. (I realised my OP could have been interpreted as we're trying to find a place to rent...)

    I used "Little property" in Ryde. I've had good experiences with them.
