who knows your property.
Boutique Perth property managers, with one dedicated manager for every property.
The rare one who stays, treats your home like their own, and picks up the phone. One person from leasing to inspections to day-to-day management, with just 50 to 100 properties per portfolio.
REIWA 2025 Residential Property Manager of the Year.
A 2026 REIA National Awards for Excellence finalist, managing over $100 million of Perth residential property.
Four property managers in two years, and not one of them knew your property.
It is not a people problem. It is a model problem.
The career property manager. A rare species. We are building a home for them.
Here is what that means for you. The person managing your property is the owner of the business, the one whose name and livelihood ride on your experience. When the buck stops with an owner instead of a salaried administrator carrying hundreds of files, your property gets a level of accountability the big agencies are simply not built to give.
Partners is not a marketing word here. The people looking after your home have a genuine stake in the work, and a real reason to stay. The detail of how that works, we keep between us and them. What you see, year after year, is the result: the same voice on the phone, the same eyes on your inspections, a manager who has actually stood inside your property. Big agencies will keep churning. We built something they cannot copy.
Daria has spent six years in Perth property management, and is finishing a Bachelor of Commerce in Property and Valuation. Long enough to see exactly what the big-agency model breaks for owners, and to build Local to do it differently.
Book a free appraisalOne person, end to end.
One person does the lot for your property: the business development when you sign on, the leasing, the routine inspections, and the day-to-day management. No leasing agent who vanishes after handover, no different junior at each inspection, no manager who has never met your tenant.
There is no sales team here, so nobody gets pulled away by a listing or a Saturday of open homes. Property management is the business. Selling runs the right way round off the back of it: Daria holds a full licence and sells tenanted investment properties herself, because the lease dates, the tenant relationship and the compliance file are the things that decide the price and they are already in her hands. Selling a tenanted property.
That focus is why each manager carries a deliberately small book of 50 to 100 properties, never the 150 to 300 a big agency loads onto every desk.
-
Your property manager chooses your tenant.
Not a leasing agent who disappears after key handover. They choose like they will be managing that tenant for years. Because they will be. And when leasing and managing are the same person, there is no blame game when something goes wrong.
-
Every application scored, then handed to you.
Eight checks on every applicant, scored for affordability and reliability, and sent to you side by side with a recommendation and the reasoning. You decide, in writing. We also tell you who was declined and why. How we screen tenants.
-
No re-explaining your property, ever.
You never brief a new property manager on the history of your own investment. The person who answers already knows it.
-
No paying for the same repair twice.
The patch fix from last year is remembered, so this year the root cause gets fixed. Not re-patched by someone reading your file cold.
-
Preventive maintenance, managed.
Small issues are caught at inspection and dealt with before they become expensive ones. Ahead of failure, not after it.
-
High quality properties only.
There is no business development manager here paid to sign anything with a roof. We take on properties that meet our standard, so your property manager's book is full of homes worth caring for, not problem files.
The number that decides everything else.
Ask any agency how many properties one manager personally handles. It is the single biggest driver of whether anything slips through, and it is the question experienced investors ask first.
| Agency | Properties per manager |
|---|---|
| Local Property Partners | 50 to 100 |
| A typical Perth agency | 150 to 300 |
At 300 properties a manager has about seven minutes per property per week, before a single thing goes wrong. That is the arithmetic behind every unreturned call you have ever made to an agency.
One person, from settlement to the day you sell.
Most owners get handed between four different strangers over the life of one property. Here it is the same person the whole way through, which is the only reason any of the history is remembered.
Compliance, marketing and the first lease organised before you get the keys, so there is no dead month at the start.
Eight checks on every applicant, scored and sent to you with a recommendation. You decide, in writing.
Routine inspections as full 360 walkthroughs, compliance diarised, and a written rent position 90 days before each lease ends.
The one who leased it last time, who already knows what drew the applicants and what put them off.
Whether it sells tenanted or vacant is the biggest single lever on the price, and we are the ones holding the lease dates. Daria holds a full licence, RA85442, and handles the sale herself. How selling works.
The usual way
Four handovers, and the file gets thinner at each one.
- The agent who sold it to you, gone at settlement
- A leasing agent who chooses your tenant, then disappears
- A property manager, replaced every 18 to 24 months
- A new sales agent years later, seeing the place for the first time
Here
One person, and the things that decide what it sells for are already under control.
- The same manager from your first tenancy onwards
- Who chose your tenant and has met them in person
- Who remembers the repair you have already paid for once
- And who holds the lease dates, the tenant relationship and the compliance file on the day you decide to sell
That last one is worth more than it sounds. Selling with vacant possession opens a home to owner occupiers, who pay more than investors buying on yield, and only the agency holding the lease can plan for it. If it does sell tenanted, every home open depends on a tenant who already knows us. And the compliance that stalls settlements, pool barriers, RCDs, unapproved structures, is in order before a buyer’s inspector goes looking.
What we stand behind.
Our median listing leases in 13 days. So we are comfortable making promises other agencies will not:
- A written rent position 90 days before every lease ends. Current comparables behind it, and sometimes the recommendation is to hold.
- Rent in your account the day it clears. Never held in an end-of-month batch.
- Every maintenance request triaged within 24 hours. Logged, tracked and closed on one platform.
- Compliance diarised, not remembered. Smoke alarms, RCDs, security and pool barriers are scheduled and tracked. If we miss a booking on our side, we pay the fine.
- Not happy? Leave any time. No lock-in, no exit fees, no liquidated damages.
Walk through your property from anywhere.
You get 24/7 access, with no chasing anyone by email. Live rent payments, every invoice and statement, and every maintenance job sit on your phone in the MyPlace app, iOS and Android, alongside the full PropertyTree owner portal.
Every routine inspection is a full 360 virtual walkthrough, not phone photos in a two-page PDF, and your tenants get their own portal so maintenance is logged, tracked and answered rather than lost in an inbox. Premium marketing on every lease is included too: professional photography, 360 tour and floor plan.
And 50+ on-demand services in your Control CenterWhat would it cost on your property?
Move the slider. Our management fee slides with the rent rather than jumping in brackets, and it applies to rent collected only, never to water, electricity or gas you are reimbursed for.
Excludes GST. Management fee only: letting, marketing and inspections are separate and are all listed on the full calculator. Property condition reports, ingoing and outgoing reports, final bond inspections, end of financial year statements and title searches are included at no charge.

Frequently asked questions.
There is no sales team here, so no property manager is ever pulled away by a listing or a buyer open home. Property management is the business, and it is what each manager's whole week goes into.
Selling runs the right way round off the back of it. Daria holds a full real estate licence, RA85442, and sells tenanted investment properties herself, whether or not we manage them. It is a narrow specialism on purpose: the lease dates, the tenant relationship and the compliance file are what decide the price on a tenanted sale, and that is property management work. We do not take ordinary owner occupier listings. Selling a tenanted property in Perth.
Because they are partners, not staff passing through. It is the name on the door for a reason: the people managing the homes here have a genuine stake in the work, and a real reason to stay. The detail of how that works, we keep between us and them. What you see, year after year, is the result: the same voice on the phone, the same eyes on your inspections. Ask us when we meet.
A deliberately small book of 50 to 100 properties per manager, well below the 150 to 300 common at larger agencies. It is the single biggest driver of attention, faster responses and fewer things slipping through, and it is the qualifying question experienced investors ask first.
A simple checklist. Choose a specialist where property management is the business, not a sales agency where rentals are a back-room afterthought. Ask how many properties each manager personally handles, since under roughly 100 to 120 means real care while 150 to 300 means an overloaded desk. Insist on dealing with the actual person who will manage your property, not a sales BDM who signs you up then hands you to a junior. Read the tenant reviews, not just the star rating. And confirm you get 24/7 online access to live rent, invoices and inspections.
We are built to meet every one of these. See how we manage.
Our management fee slides with rent, from 9.9% + GST at lower rents down to 5.75% + GST at higher rents, with a minimum of $45 a week plus GST, and applies to rent collected only, never to tenant reimbursables like water, electricity or gas.
The published rates are reference points rather than brackets. The rate moves smoothly between them, so you are never bumped into a higher rate for being a few dollars under a number. Property condition reports, ingoing and outgoing reports, final bond inspections, end of financial year statements and title searches are all included at $0. Work out your fee above, or use the full calculator for every other cost.
No. We do not use lock-in contracts, and that is written into the agreement. Most Perth agencies use two-year agreements with a penalty for leaving early. We prefer you stay because we are earning it.
The full Perth metro, from Rockingham in the south to Two Rocks in the north, and east to the Hills: Joondalup, Wanneroo, Tapping, Landsdale, Stirling, Scarborough, Kallaroo, Churchlands, Cottesloe, Melville, Canning Vale, Brabham, Kewdale, Westminster, Belmont, Yanchep, Baldivis and everywhere between.
Two Rocks is our northern boundary and Rockingham our southern one. Not sure about your suburb? Ask. We will tell you straight.
Yes, keenly. We are a growing agency with capacity designed in, and we are actively welcoming new landlords right across the Perth metro. We hold a high standard on the properties we take on, but there is no waitlist: book a free appraisal and you will usually hear from us within one business day.
One direct contact, one MyPlace dashboard for every property, consolidated reporting at tax time, and portfolio cash flow analysis. One conversation about everything you own, with someone who remembers every previous one. We handle the handover from your current agencies; you do not have to speak to them. Talk to us about consolidating.
You sign our management agreement. We serve notice on the outgoing agency, collect the file, verify lease, rent, compliance and billing, lodge the bond transfer, and introduce ourselves to your tenant. The notice period is typically 28 days, we prepare everything in the background so management begins the moment it ends, and you do not have to speak to your old agency.
Locked into a contract? Some agreements have exit options. Talk to us about your situation. Read our switching guide.
Eight checks on every applicant: identity, income verified against bank statements, references on numbers we source ourselves rather than the ones supplied, the TICA and NTD tenancy databases, credit, and a 35 per cent rent to income guideline. Each application is then scored for affordability and reliability.
You get the applications side by side with a written recommendation and the reasoning, including who was declined and why. The decision is yours, in writing, and no tenant moves in without it. How we screen tenants in Perth.
Yes, and it is diarised against the property rather than remembered. Before a lease is drawn we walk through the property in person and record anything excluded from the tenancy, anything not working, and the state of the smoke alarms, RCDs and security. All of it is written into the lease properly rather than mentioned and forgotten.
Mains powered smoke alarms, at least two RCDs covering every circuit, minimum security to external doors and windows, the annual electrical safety check, and pool barrier certification where there is a pool are then scheduled, booked and tracked. Compliance is a partnership: we schedule, prompt and track, you approve and fund the works. If we miss a booking on our side, we pay the fine.
Yes, if you ask us to. We arrange landlord cover through Property Insurance Plus, who in our experience offer the strongest cover of the specialist landlord insurers, and we make sure it is in place before your tenant moves in.
We are not insurance advisers, so read the product disclosure statement and check the cover suits you. Your home and contents policy will not cover lost rent or tenant damage, and on a strata property the building policy covers the building rather than what is inside your lot.
Yes. Every owner has 24/7 access to two tools. The MRI MyPlace app shows your property position, invoices, statements, compliance and maintenance, all in one place. The owner portal in PropertyTree holds every document in one archive. Your tenants get their own portal too, so maintenance is logged and tracked rather than lost in an inbox.
